The future of the Ticino real estate market at the heart of immoTable Ticino
At the 106th edition of immoTable Ticino, the prospects and challenges of the cantonal real estate sector were discussed.
Under the moderation of Natascia Valenta, Michele Bertini (La Mobiliare), Nicolas Daldini (SVIT Ticino), Gian-Luca Lardi (Swiss Association of Building Contractors) and Sandro Montorfani (Private Construction Department, City of Lugano) spoke.
The debate touched on key issues such as the replanning and densification of the territory, the simplification of procedures for building permits and the need to streamline legislation in order to speed up decision-making processes.
It was also emphasized that investments in Ticino are positive today, thanks to the decrease in vacancies, which are mainly concentrated in obsolete properties.
Future challenges also included the issue of PPPs (public-private partnerships) and shrinking funds for renovation in the context of an ageing population and the building stock in need of renewal. This is an issue that will be of crucial importance in the coming years.
The strategic role of Italy as an economic partner and source of skilled labor was also mentioned, as well as the effects of the recent votes on the imputed rental value, which will have a significant impact on the finances of the canton and the municipalities.
Despite the challenges, the Sonnenstube remains a dynamic and attractive region for real estate investment, ready to take advantage of the opportunities offered by a changing market.
