Constructora Ahinco

Abstract

According to Yunda (2017), more than 55,000 households are formed annually in Bogotá; there is a significant relationship here: if more construction companies dedicated to housing development are established, the supply available to the population will increase, thereby enhancing the ability of lower socioeconomic strata to purchase homes. When a low-income family (socioeconomic stratum 2) purchases a formal housing unit within a real estate development, previously occupied housing becomes available to families from lower socioeconomic strata. Furthermore, as the number of construction companies continues to grow each year, developers are required to improve the quality standards and performance of their projects in order to remain competitive. In 2020, the relationship between constructed and required housing units revealed a deficit of approximately 40% in meeting housing demand, with this shortage increasing progressively each year. By 2025, 60% of the housing projects developed in Bogotá were classified as Priority Interest Housing (VIP) and Social Interest Housing (VIS), resulting in the construction of more than 50,000 housing units. This trend supports the objective of this research project, which focuses on the development of housing solutions for different socioeconomic groups within society (Secretariat del Habitat de Bogotá, 2026). The largest concentration of homebuyers in Colombia is in Bogotá, generating the country's highest real estate flows between Bogotá and the department of Cundinamarca (Camacol, 2026). For this reason, companies such as Capital, a construction firm based in Antioquia, have identified opportunities to develop projects in Cundinamarca, particularly in Bogotá. This expansion reflects the successful socioeconomic growth experienced by the country's capital city.
