Colombia Real Estate and Construction Sector Report H1 2026

In 2025, Colombia's construction sector faced a mix of challenges and opportunities. The gross value added (GVA) of the sector declined by 2.7% y/y in real terms, sharply contrasting with the 2.64% y/y GDP growth recorded during the same period. The downturn was largely driven by the residential construction segment, particularly the VIS and VIP social housing programmes, which were severely impacted by the conclusion of the country's largest housing subsidy initiative, "My House Now," in late 2024. Meanwhile, the infrastructure segment had a notably strong year, supported by inter-urban road works such as the Tunel del Toyo and Tunel del Oriente, as well as significant progress on large-scale urban projects such as the Bogota Metro Line 1.
