The property, which has been in a state of ruin since 2006 and inactive since then, will be rehabilitated to become a residential block with ten homes. The granting of the urban planning license represents a decisive step for the recovery of this building, whose deterioration had generated growing neighborhood concern.
For almost two decades, the property has been the scene of occupations, vandalism, and even fires, in addition to becoming a focus of unsanitary conditions and insecurity. The City Council already granted the necessary permit for repairs last year, a crucial prior action.
The developer now has a maximum of nine months to start the works and one year to complete them. The Councilor for Urban Planning, Jesús Sellés, highlighted that the reactivation of these projects represents an injection for the local economy and job creation.
Sellés emphasized that the City Council continues to work to unblock other unfinished constructions, known as "skeletons," which were halted after the 2009 real estate crisis. The goal is to transform former symbols of the crisis into engines of urban and social growth.
