Portugal needs around 70,000 new homes per year and is delivering closer to 20,000 to 28,000.
That gap does not only show up in market headlines.
It shows up in:
• Permits
• Licensing timelines
• Construction capacity
• Technical coordination
• Financing conditions
• The number of projects that actually move from plan to completion
For developers, the question is not only:
“Is there demand?”
The better question is:
“Can this project actually be licensed, financed, built, and delivered in the current environment?”
Because demand alone does not deliver housing.
Execution does.
