Almeida lanza un plan para transformar suelos de oficinas en 18.400 viviendas protegidas de alquiler
El Ayuntamiento de Madrid aprueba nuevos instrumentos para incrementar la oferta de vivienda protegida con el voto en contra de la izquierda. Leer
Madrid's City Hall has approved two special urban plans aimed at increasing the supply of rent-protected housing in the Spanish capital, where a shortage of residential property is particularly acute. The plans, approved in a tense extraordinary meeting marked by political maneuvering, are expected to allow the construction of up to 18,400 rent-protected homes by 2028.
The measures, which allow for the development of office and hospitality spaces on vacant office buildings, have been supported by the center-right parties PP and Vox, while facing opposition from the left-wing parties who control the city hall. The goal is to boost construction capacity by up to 20% and increase the density of designated housing land by up to 30% without altering the existing urban plan.
The plans are part of a broader effort to promote rent-protected housing, a policy initiative launched by the Community of Madrid in 2024 through legislation. So far, 5,806 such dwellings have been approved, with one in two of these new homes being built in Madrid.
