The largest single project contributing to this growth was the construction of the Liep\u0101ja Prison Complex<\/span> by the Ministry of Justice.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, the residential sector continued to develop actively, with construction starting on several new apartment buildings. The first of these projects is expected to be commissioned already within this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

In total, 118 properties were commissioned in Liep\u0101ja in 2025, including both new <\/span>constructions<\/span> and renovated or reconstructed buildings. This represents a 35% decrease in the number of completed properties compared to the previous year. However, despite the lower number of completed projects, overall construction investment increased significantly, driven by several large-scale developments.<\/span><\/p>\n

The largest share of investment was concentrated in the prison complex project at 29 Alsungas Street, which was completed and commissioned last August, with total investment reaching EUR 125.87 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond this flagship project, significant investments were also made in manufacturing and port-related infrastructure, totalling EUR 13 million. Among the largest completed projects in this category were the new production facility of <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Jensen Metal<\/span>\u201d<\/span> at 11 Virssardzes Street, the reconstruction of the production building of <\/span>\u201c<\/span>AE Partner<\/span>\u201d<\/span> at 1\/3 Gan\u012bbu Street, and the new warehouse facility of <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Brimer Liepaja<\/span>\u201d, Jsc.<\/span> at 37 Atsl\u0113dznieku Street.<\/span><\/p>\n

Municipal investment in urban environment improvements in 2025 focused on infrastructure development in the area of the former <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Liep\u0101jas <\/span>M<\/span>etalurgs<\/span>\u201d<\/span> steelworks, as well as the reconstruction of street sections on Plo\u010du Street, \u0100landes Street and Zeme\u0146u Street. Works also included the construction of a sidewalk and pedestrian crossing on Liedaga Street.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the historic city centre, three beach access points were <\/span>redeveloped<\/span>,<\/span> and a section of Seaside Park was landscaped. In addition, a 431-metre shoreline reinforcement structure<\/span>\u2013 <\/span>a <\/span>groyne \u2013 <\/span>was built along the Liep\u0101ja wastewater treatment plant. Altogether, the municipality implemented 16 construction projects, with a total investment of EUR 11.9 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the public services and commercial sector, EUR 9.3 million was invested. The three largest projects included the disaster management centre at 18 Pulvera Street, the renovated apartment building at 7 K\u016brm\u0101jas Prospect, and a new commercial building at 11 Pulkve\u017ea Brie\u017ea Street for the \u201ctop!\u201d <\/span>grocery <\/span>store.<\/span><\/p>\n

Private residential investment also remained active, with EUR 4.6 million invested by residents in property development and renovation. In total, approximately 70 private properties were developed, including 10 new residential buildings on Zeme\u0146u, Upe\u0146u, Durbes, Dundagas and Klaip\u0113das Streets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, 1,003 construction projects were approved in 2025, representing a 14% increase compared to the previous year. The number of building permits issued also rose by 19%, reaching a total of 136. According to data from the Construction Information System (BIS), there were 4,649 active construction cases in Liep\u0101ja at the beginning of 2026<\/span> \u2013 <\/span>approximately 500 more than a year earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n
