At Walter Haus, we closely follow the events that mark the future of the real estate sector, and the new edition of SIMA 2025 is emerging as an essential event. In a context in which access to housing has become a national priority, SIMA arrives with a clear vocation: to promote residential production and provide tangible solutions to a demand that far exceeds supply. The fair, which will take place from May 21 to 24 at IFEMA Madrid, will bring together more than 350 exhibitors and is presented as a key space to redefine the direction of the real estate market through innovation, public-private collaboration and the attraction of international capital. Walter Haus will have a presence in the most important exhibition at the national level.
An event structured for the future of the residential market
SIMA 2025 is organized around four large spaces—SIMAEXPO, SIMA INVEST, SIMAPRO and PROPTECH EXPO—designed to comprehensively address the structural challenges of the sector. At Walter Haus we especially highlight the role of SIMAPRO as a center of strategic reflection for market leaders, and of PROPTECH EXPO as a showcase of the technological solutions that are already transforming the way we work. This edition not only reinforces the international dimension of the event, but also highlights new ways of living and investing, from Build to Rent to branded residences, with a focus on more sustainable, accessible and connected models with current needs.
Spain as a pole of attraction for international investment
The growing role of foreign investment is one of the central themes of this edition. SIMA 2025 reflects the growing interest that the Spanish residential market arouses in the international context, with a record participation of companies and projects with a global offer. At Walter Haus we observe how cities such as Madrid, Barcelona or Costa Brava are consolidating themselves as strategic destinations for international capital, not only for their tourist attraction and quality of life, but also for the opportunities they offer in the development of new residential formats. This phenomenon underlines the importance of creating legal, fiscal and financial environments that encourage responsible and sustainable investment.
Technology and artificial intelligence: a new era for the real estate sector
PROPTECH EXPO is presented as the technological core of the SIMA ecosystem, with programming aimed at showing how artificial intelligence, Big Data and digitalization are redefining the operations of promoters, investors and agencies. At Walter Haus we have been betting for years on technological innovation as a pillar of our commercial and operational strategy. Process automation, data analysis for decision making and improving the customer experience are already a reality in our daily lives. Spaces such as Innovation for Real Estate Agencies will allow professionals to learn first-hand about the tools that lead the way towards more efficient, personalized and future-oriented management.
Recognition of excellence in the ASPRIMA-SIMA 2025 Awards
One of the most anticipated moments of the fair will, without a doubt, be the ASPRIMA-SIMA Awards gala, which is celebrating its 22nd edition. With more than 120 nominations received, these awards recognize the best practices in the sector in key categories such as affordable housing, urban regeneration, innovation or ESG. At Walter Haus we consider that recognizing excellence is essential to promote a more competitive, committed and prepared sector to face the challenges of tomorrow. A reflection of the dynamism, professionalism and talent that characterize the sector in which WH also participates with 3 candidates.
