Reykjavik’s Decade of Housing Development

Housing for All – 10,000 Apartments in Five Years.

During the meeting, the Mayor presents new priorities and increased momentum in the construction of apartments. We will present the results of the Green Housing of the Future for the plots by Frakkastigur, on the plot of the old Meteorological Office, and in Breidholt. In addition, we will review the status of projects in Reinventing Cities and Affordable Housing.

Reykjavik presents the housing development potential within the City that doubles the number of dwellings that can be built over the next five years.

What are the findings of the selection board for the Green Housing of the Future? Where and how are apartments being built in Reykjavik to meet this need?
