Residential construction: Söder clearly misses expansion targets by 2024 – Bavaria

According to BR research, Bavaria is well below the target of 10,000 new and affordable apartments by 2025 set by Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU). According to a report by Bayerischer Rundfunk, the state construction company Bayernheim will complete a maximum of 682 socially subsidized apartments by the end of 2024 – that would be just seven percent of the target. The BR relies on data from the Bavarian Ministry of Construction.

Construction Minister Christian Bernreiter (CSU), on the other hand, had emphasized at the beginning of the week that up to 4,500 affordable apartments had already been “launched”, and by the end of the year there should be 5,400. “You can’t do magic there,” he said – but the numbers are impressive. The target of 10,000 new apartments is “not a utopia,” emphasized Bernreiter, who took over the office at the end of February 2022.

Most of the 4,500 apartments so far have not been completed, but are still in the planning phase. the Southgerman newspaper reported in early January that almost 3,500 of the 4,500 apartments were being planned or developed. Prime Minister Söder had formulated the 10,000 new affordable apartments in the Free State as a goal when he took office in 2018.
