The housing market in the canton of Zug is under severe pressure. The canton’s high level of attractiveness has led to an increase in demand, while the supply of housing is declining. This is leading to rising rents and property prices, making it particularly difficult for the middle classes and low-income earners to find affordable housing. Young families are also facing difficulties in finding suitable housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>In order to alleviate the tight housing situation, the cantonal government has defined three main objectives: firstly, more living space, secondly, more affordable housing and thirdly, more housing options for the local population. These goals are to be achieved through simplified building regulations, optimized building permit processes and financial incentives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The strategy provides for various measures to increase the supply of housing. Relaxations in building regulations, such as adding storeys and high-rise regulations, should enable the construction of more apartments. In addition, non-profit developers are to be given easier access to loans in order to promote the construction of affordable housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>In the next steps, the municipalities will be informed about the planned measures. With the involvement of all relevant stakeholders such as municipalities, political parties and organizations, the amendments to the Planning and Construction Act and the Housing Promotion Act will be implemented swiftly. The cantonal government will report on progress every two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
