Canada is on track to add more newcomers with construction skills than in recent years, an early sign that a targeted immigration program is working — though still not quickly enough to close a massive housing supply gap.

Admissions of permanent residents with trades skills rose 29% from January through March from the average quarterly rate in 2023, according to government data obtained by Bloomberg. If that pace is sustained, Canada will grant residency to some 17,800 skilled construction workers this year.

The increase is solely driven by recent immigration policy changes to bring in more tradespeople to ramp up homebuilding. It’s crucial to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s goal to more than double the pace of construction to add 3.9 million homes by 2031 as he tries to calm housing angst and reverse waning popularity.

A Brooklyn neighborhood’s residential development boom is nearing an end, as a condo tower opens at one of the final sites on the Williamsburg waterfront.

Sales begin Wednesday at One Domino Square, a 39-story tower just north of the Williamsburg Bridge. It’s the sole condo offering in the 11-acre (4.5-hectare) complex that Two Trees Management has been building around the historic Domino Sugar refinery, which was converted into offices.

The tower’s debut is the latest step in the transformation of the onetime industrial area, made possible by a 2005 rezoning that cleared the way for construction of some of Brooklyn’s most expensive housing. Earlier efforts in Williamsburg had been focused closer to the Bedford Avenue L train stop, or farther north along the East River. Two of those waterfront projects — Toll Brothers’ Northside Piers and the Edge by Douglaston Development — were finished in 2007 and 2009, respectively.

Sales of new homes in the US edged higher in January as builders and buyers capitalized on lower mortgage rates at the start of the year.

Purchases of new single-family homes increased 1.5% to a 661,000 annual pace after the prior three months were revised lower, government data showed Monday. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for a rate of 684,000.

Sentiment among US homebuilders rose to a six-month high in February as buyers continued to take advantage of mortgage rates that have fallen from their October peaks.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo gauge of housing market conditions rose by 4 points to 48 this month, according to data released Thursday. That beat the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists that called for a reading of 46.

Barratt Developments Plc has agreed to buy rival Redrow Plc, a deal that would create the UK’s biggest homebuilder.

With the acquisition, Barratt Developments is taking a major bet on the prospects for a rebound in Britain’s beleaguered housing market ahead of a general election. The deal would give Barratt access to a vast land bank at a time when pledges to increase housing output are likely to play a central role in the upcoming general election.
