Affordable housing in Spain

A long-term opportunity for change 

Download report

Spain’s housing challenge is growing – but so is the momentum to address it. Population growth has reached record highs, while affordable homes make up just 2.5% of the national housing stock. In cities like Madrid and Barcelona, demand continues to outstrip supply.

Across the country, new public–private programmes are emerging to change that picture. With initiatives such as Plan VIVE already under way and more regions following suit, Spain is taking decisive steps to create the homes its people need.

At Octopus Capital, we believe this is a pivotal moment for collaboration. Long-term, responsible investment has a crucial role to play in helping these programmes scale – delivering homes that are sustainable, affordable and built to last.
