Housing Shortage in Mallorca: Assessment, Questions, Proposals
Mallorca's housing numbers: start or solution?
Mallorca's housing figures show progress but raise questions about affordability and long-term security for ordinary households.
Published: August 22, 2026
Answer
How is Mallorca addressing the housing shortage and what do the latest numbers indicate?
In Mallorca, authorities point to 2,028 new apartments created in two years, plus hundreds from repurposed shops, subdivisions, and completed units in Palma and Manacor. Additional plans include Construir per Llogar with over 2,200 homes and Ibavi-driven social housing. But experts warn these figures are only a start and may not translate into affordable, secure homes for ordinary people.
