Salón del Inmueble Medellín 2026: Dates, Hours & 178 Projects

Quick answer: The Salón del Inmueble Medellín 2026 runs Friday, October 23 to Sunday, October 25 at El Tesoro Parque Comercial. Organized by Camacol Antioquia, the regional construction association, it brings together 33 builders and 178 projects, per Vivir en El Poblado and Publimetro. Both outlets relay figures from Camacol Antioquia’s announcement; we found no primary press page to link, so treat the numbers as the organizer’s own. Neither source lists prices, entry fees, or financing terms, so confirm those with the exhibitors.

Salón del Inmueble Medellín 2026: dates, hours and venue

The fair is held in the open-air plazoleta of El Tesoro Parque Comercial. Publimetro names it Plazoleta Zara, the same spot that hosted the 2025 edition per El Colombiano; Vivir en El Poblado says only “central plazoleta.” Check signage on arrival.

Hours, per Vivir en El Poblado (published October 19, 2026):

• Friday and Saturday (Oct 23–24): 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
• Sunday (Oct 25): 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Publimetro does not give hours. Neither article states whether entry is free.

Smaller than last year

The 2025 edition drew 35 builders and 199 projects, per El Colombiano’s balance. The 2026 line-up of 33 builders and 178 projects is smaller, while the sales target of COP 130 billion is the same figure organizers cited last year.

What’s on show: 178 projects

Camacol Antioquia describes the offer as projects in four stages: launch, off-plan (sobre planos), under construction, and ready to move in, per Vivir en El Poblado. Of the 178 projects, 144 (81%) are residential and 34 (19%) are non-residential.

Property types listed include:

• Apartments, houses, apartasuites, suites, and villas
• Offices, consulting rooms, and commercial premises
• Coliving and short-term rental options
• Derechos fiduciarios (fiduciary rights)

Publimetro explains fiduciary rights as a way to invest in a project through a trust without buying a whole property, and presents them as an option for investors with smaller budgets. That is the outlet’s description, not a recommendation. Anyone considering one should read the trust terms with a Colombian lawyer first.

Where the projects are

About 80% of projects are local and 20% come from Bogotá, Barranquilla, Bucaramanga, Pereira, Cartagena, and Santa Marta. The sources differ on what “local” means: Vivir en El Poblado says Oriente antioqueño (the eastern Antioquia region around Rionegro), while Publimetro says Medellín, the south of the Valle de Aburrá, and the Oriente combined.

Neither article gives a breakdown for El Poblado specifically. If you are shopping for new apartments in El Poblado, ask each exhibitor directly which projects are in that neighborhood.

What the numbers say about buyers

Camacol Antioquia’s figures for January to August 2026, as reported by Vivir en El Poblado, cover non-VIS housing (market-rate, not subsidized social-interest):

Item	Figure
Non-VIS unit sales, Medellín	1,378
Non-VIS unit sales, Oriente antioqueño	1,368
Buyers who are Colombians living abroad	15.5%
Buyers who are non-resident foreigners	3.4%
Buyers who are Colombians from other departments	18.5%

The outlet applies the buyer shares to Antioquia non-VIS sales. Note that non-resident foreigners are a small slice at 3.4%, while Colombians abroad are a much larger one. Organizers project sales and deals above COP 130 billion, including deals closed and estimated during the fair, per Camacol Antioquia. That is a projection, not a result.

Camacol’s manager, Eduardo Loaiza Posada, told Publimetro that demand is no longer just about square meters but about “ubicación, diseño, bienestar, sostenibilidad” (location, design, well-being, sustainability).

Context for foreign buyers

The fair is aimed at families, investors, entrepreneurs, digital nomads, foreigners, and Colombians abroad, per Vivir en El Poblado. It lands in a tight market: we reported that new housing construction in Medellín has stalled since 2014, with the housing deficit stuck at 16%. For background, see our guide to investing in Medellín’s real estate market and one local’s 8-year apartment search.

A few practical points, none specific to this fair:

• Off-plan buying means paying before the building exists, so check the builder’s track record and how deposits are held.
• Short-term rental is a contested topic in the city’s land-use debate, so do not assume a unit can legally be listed on Airbnb. See our reporting on the crackdown on illegal Airbnb properties.
• This article is news coverage, not legal or investment advice. Foreign buyers should hire an independent Colombian attorney.
