Over 36,000 new homes completed in 2025
Apartment completions surged 38.7% to 12,047, driving a 20.4% rise in total home completions to 36,284, the highest since 2011, CSO data shows.
- On Thursday, the Central Statistics Office reported 36,284 completions in 2025, the largest since 2011, marking a 20.4% increase on 2024.
- Regulatory changes aimed to improve project viability by cutting minimum apartment size to 32 square meters and reducing the VAT rate on apartment sales from 13.5pc to 9pc next year.
- Apartment completions rose to 12,047 in 2025, up 38.7% year-on-year, while scheme housing grew 13.1% and single dwellings advanced to 5,929 units.
