WILLEMSTAD – Curaçao recorded strong construction activity in 2025, with a total of 516 building permits issued, representing a combined value of more than 483 million guilders. The permits covered a wide range of projects, including residential construction, hotel developments and commercial buildings, pointing to sustained growth in the construction sector.
In addition to private-sector activity, the government continued to invest heavily in the existing housing stock. During the year, maintenance work was carried out on 1,455 government-owned homes, while nearly 2,000 additional housing units were further completed. The sale of government homes to tenants through Fundashon Kas Popular continued as part of efforts to promote homeownership and improve housing stability.
Central to Curaçao’s housing policy is the Mi Kas Awor (My House Now) program, which aims to structurally reform public housing policy. The program is designed to address long-standing challenges in the housing market, including shortages, affordability and the condition of existing homes.
Mi Kas Awor includes a public investment of 471 million guilders. According to Fundashon Kas Popular, the program is financially viable and is expected to contribute significantly to reducing the housing crisis while also improving social conditions across the island.
The figures underscore the importance of housing and construction as key pillars of Curaçao’s economic and social development, as both government and private investors continue to expand and modernize the island’s built environment.
