New Construction in Luxembourg: Slowdown or Rebound in 2025?

After two years marked by a sharp decline in building permits, the new construction sector in Luxembourg seems to hesitate between stagnation and recovery.

1. A Historic Decline in Authorized Projects Between 2022 and 2024, the number of new housing units authorized fell by over 35%, according to STATEC. The causes: rising construction costs, high interest rates, and economic uncertainty.

2. Projects on Hold Many developers have frozen their projects, awaiting more favorable conditions. Some serviced plots remain vacant, while other programs are scaled back or divided into phases.

3. Towards a Revival in 2025? The first quarter of 2025 shows a slight increase in permit applications, particularly in high-demand areas. The Luxembourgish state has also announced new aid for sustainable construction, which could encourage developers to restart certain projects.

4. Opportunities for Off-Plan Buyers With longer delivery times and lower competition, off-plan (Vente en l'État Futur d'Achèvement) buyers can currently negotiate more, especially on remaining units in already commercialized residences.
