From January to October 2018, the construction of a total of 289,700 apartments was permitted in Germany. As reported by the German Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), 1.2% or 3,500 more building permits were reported as compared to the same period of the previous year. The permits applied to new buildings, as well as to construction works on existing buildings.

In newly built residential buildings, around 252,300 apartments were approved in the first ten months of the year. This was 1.9% or 4,800 more apartments more than in the same period of last year. This increase is solely attributable to the increase in building permits for apartments in multi-family dwellings (+5.7%).

In contrast, the number of building permits for detached houses has fallen by 0.9% and for two-family houses by 4.6%. The construction of dormitories continues to fall sharply (-14.5%).

In the new non-residential buildings, which were approved from January to October 2018, the built-up area increased by 8.2 million cubic meters (+4.6%) compared to the 184.8 million cubic meters of the previous year.
