The Colombian Construction Congress 2025, organized by CAMACOL, will take place from October 22 to 24 at the Puerta de Oro Convention Center in Barranquilla. This annual event has become the most important meeting point for key players in Colombia’s construction sector, bringing together business leaders, authorities, experts, and international figures who drive growth, innovation, and the future of the industry.
The 2025 edition will focus on four strategic pillars that will allow for an in-depth analysis of current challenges and opportunities, as well as anticipating the trends that will shape the future of construction, housing, and urban development in Colombia. These core topics include the economic context and sector outlook, competitiveness and sustainability in construction, new demographic realities and social transformations, and institutional framework and democracy. Through these themes, the event aims to provide a comprehensive vision of the challenges faced by the industry and the opportunities that are emerging.
Ricardo Fernandez, Business Development Manager for the Americas at GP, will participate in one of the main panels, bringing the company’s perspective to the conversation about the future of the industry. His presentation will focus on the sector’s outlook and strategies to achieve a more sustainable and competitive construction industry, sharing the Studio´s experience and expertise in developing innovative solutions for the Latin American market.

In addition, public-private collaboration and consensus-building will be encouraged to promote initiatives that contribute to the country’s economic and social development.
Real Estate Market Trends in Colombia
The Colombian Real Estate market in 2025 is dynamic and presents significant challenges and opportunities. As of March 2025, Colombia had over 27 million square meters under construction in residential and non-residential buildings, a figure equivalent to building the country’s eighth largest city. The 2024-2025 National Competitiveness Report highlights demographic change as a crucial phenomenon, especially regarding the silver economy, and emphasizes the importance of adapting supply to new social demands. Notably, one in four new home buyers does not reside in the place where they purchase their property, and 58% of international purchases come from the United States, revealing the potential to consolidate a sustainable foreign investment attraction strategy and respond to new market realities.
The Colombian Construction Congress 2025 by CAMACOL is projected to be a transformative experience for all sector stakeholders. Beyond being a space for updates and dialogue, the event seeks to build a work agenda that goes beyond the short term and extends past 2026, consolidating a long-term vision for the development of the sector and the country.
