Innsbruck, Österreich - In 2024, Tyrolean residential development promoted a record -breaking volume: a total of 386 million euros were invested, which corresponds to an increase of 15 percent compared to 2023.

extended funding opportunities

New since September 2024 have revised funding criteria that are intended to expand the circle of the beneficiaries and promote environmentally conscious construction. According to Wohlgemuth, the activation of unused living space plays a central role, while at the same time the inventory has to be continuously renovated. In this context, 99 million euros have been spent on renovations, with 18 million euros alone flowing into over 6,800 photovoltaic systems. "Improved thermal insulation and modern heat systems contribute significantly to sustainability," said the residential building officer and asked the citizens to apply for funding.

To make it easier to access the funding, they can be applied for in the various districts to the respective district administration or directly from the state of Tyrol for new construction projects. Special regulations apply to city dwellers of Innsbruck, where refurbishment and concerns about rent and annuity allowance must be submitted to the city magistrate.

During housing subsidies, work continues to optimize the conditions and to make access as unbureaucratic as possible, says Wohlemuth.
