APPII remains on the Municipal Housing Council
The Portuguese Association of Real Estate Developers and Investors (APPII) will continue to participate in Lisbon’s Municipal Housing Council (CMH), where it has been represented since 2012. The association intends to maintain the real estate sector’s contribution to the debate on housing and the challenges facing the municipality.
Over the past 14 years, APPII has followed different terms and administrations of Lisbon City Council, bringing the experience of real estate developers and investors to the advisory body. This participation provides an opportunity to share knowledge about urban development and the challenges related to housing supply.
The association considers the CMH an important forum for bringing together different entities involved in housing and promoting dialogue between the various stakeholders in the sector.
New term brings together eight entities
APPII’s position comes after Lisbon City Council approved the new composition of the CMH’s permanent members for the 2025-2029 term. The Council now includes eight entities linked to housing: FAMALIS, FENACHE, AIL, ALP, APPII, WIRE, AICCOPN and APEMIP. WIRE and AICCOPN are the new members of the body. The Municipal Housing Council is an advisory body of the local authority dedicated to housing-related issues. It includes the Mayor, or the councillor responsible for the area, representatives of associations and other social partners, as well as representatives of political groups with seats on the Municipal Assembly.
Affordable housing among priorities
APPII intends to continue bringing to the Council the accumulated knowledge of professionals involved in real estate development and investment. The aim is to contribute to an analysis of the main challenges affecting housing in Lisbon. Among the association’s priorities is promoting greater housing supply and affordable solutions for city residents.
Participation in the CMH also allows APPII to follow the development of municipal policies and share its members’ experience of urban development and the housing market.
APPII strengthens participation in the debate
With the Council’s new composition, APPII maintains the representation of the real estate development and investment sector in this municipal forum for dialogue. The association intends to continue working with the other entities represented on the CMH, contributing sector knowledge and experience to the discussion on housing in Lisbon. The aim is to bring together different perspectives and help find responses to challenges related to housing supply, urban development and access to more affordable housing.
