Latest Insights into New Apartment Delivery Costs

The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland launched their third report on the Real Costs of New Apartment delivery this week. 

This significant report analyses data covering over 10,700 apartments across three different categories in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway. The report was chaired and co-authored by Paul Mitchell with colleagues from the SCSI. 

The Report comprises two parts: 

🔹 Part 1 follows the same format as the 2021 report exploring the viability and affordability of a standard 2 Bed apartment.

🔹 Part 2 is a new section and contains a case study on an actual apartment block. 

There is good news and positives to be found in the report, as well as some stark facts on affordability. Learn more and read the full report on the link below.
