Overview Of 2023 Building Costs

The latest data from the Cyprus Statistical Service (Cystat) indicates that hotels incurred the highest construction costs in Cyprus’ private sector in 2023. Following closely were clinics and medical offices, with tourist apartments ranking third. This analysis draws from an annual building permit survey, highlighting average costs per square metre by dividing total project expenditures by total project area.

Variability In Data And Project Parameters

Cystat’s report cautions that the figures, while informative, are not fully representative of every category. Differences in materials, levels of luxury, and the functional purpose of each project mean that cost comparisons may vary significantly. Moreover, for certain categories where few projects were undertaken, the averages may not adequately reflect the market reality.

Cost Breakdown Across Sectors

According to the report, the average cost per square metre in 2023 stood at €2,202 for hotels, €1,988 for clinics and medical practices, and €1,775 for tourist apartments. The data continues with restaurants at €1,651, educational institutions at €1,306, houses at €1,214, and apartments at €1,075. Industrial buildings averaged €727 per square metre, warehouses €781, while agricultural buildings were significantly lower at €213. It is important to note that these calculations include fees for architectural, engineering studies, planning and permits, labour, and materials, though they exclude land value.

Market Insight: Projections For 2025

Industry professionals have signalled that the actual cost of constructing a house or apartment is anticipated to rise substantially by 2025. On privately owned land, the realistic figure now hovers around €1,700 per square metre, potentially escalating to approximately €2,500 based on material quality and construction specifics. Analysts emphasize that quoted prices below €1,700 often do not encapsulate the complete scope of work, which invariably includes exterior spaces and ancillary structures.

As the construction market continues to evolve in Cyprus, stakeholders from developers to investors are urged to consider these cost dynamics when planning for future projects.

October 21, 2026

The technology distributor ASBIS Group, headquartered in Limassol, has exceeded $1 billion in monthly sales for the first time in its history, reporting preliminary consolidated revenue of $1.05 billion in September 2026, more than three times the amount recorded a year earlier.

The figure represents a 216% increase from $332 million in September 2025, making it the highest-revenue month in the company’s history.

ASBIS reported its strongest sales growth in servers and server components, while CEO Serhei Kostevitch pointed to growing demand for artificial intelligence solutions and computing infrastructure as an opportunity for the business.

For a company operating across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, September marked a new sales milestone following several months of substantial year-on-year growth.

Kostevitch attributed the record performance to the group’s existing operations, highlighting its broad product portfolio, international market presence and strong relationships with manufacturers and trading partners.

“Most importantly, this result is the outcome of our regular operating activities,” he said.

The CEO also highlighted the company’s portfolio of projects as a reason for confidence in continued AI-related development.

However, the group’s growth was not limited to AI-related technologies. Smartphones also performed strongly in September, with Kostevitch stressing that “we are growing beyond the AI segment as well.”

Kazakhstan, the United Arab Emirates and Ukraine accounted for the largest shares of ASBIS’s September revenue, followed by Slovakia and Poland.

Growth Follows Record First Half

September’s results follow a period of strong financial performance for ASBIS.

In July, the company reported preliminary consolidated revenue of $531 million, an increase of 89% compared with the same month in 2025. August brought a further rise to $604 million, up 91% year on year.

September’s $1.05 billion figure represents a substantial increase on both months, although the company has not provided a detailed breakdown explaining the acceleration.

The results also follow a record first half of 2026, when ASBIS generated approximately $2.97 billion in consolidated revenue, up 76% year on year.

Net profit after tax reached $80.6 million, compared with $19.4 million in the same period in 2025.

The second quarter was particularly strong, with revenue reaching $1.69 billion, an increase of 78.7%, while quarterly net profit more than tripled to $44.3 million.

ASBIS has emphasised that its September revenue figures are preliminary estimates and may differ from the final reported results.
