1. Sustainable Building Materials: There's a growing demand for eco-friendly materials and construction methods. This includes locally sourced timber, recycled components, and energy-efficient designs.
2. Mixed-Use Developments: Combining residential, commercial, and recreational spaces in a single project is becoming increasingly popular, optimizing land use and creating vibrant communities.
3. Smart Home Technology: Integration of smart home features, from automated lighting and security to energy management systems, is a sought-after upgrade in new residential builds.
4. Prefabrication and Modular Construction: While still nascent, interest in off-site construction methods is growing due to potential benefits in speed, quality control, and waste reduction.
5. Affordable Housing Initiatives: Both public and private sectors are exploring innovative ways to deliver more affordable housing solutions to meet the city's growing population needs.
