Authorisation granted for the acquisition of a building in Dreta de l'Eixample, exercising the right of first refusal and setting aside
The building, located on Carrer de la Diputació, has 23 apartments, 21 of which are currently used as tourist accommodation or short-term rentals. These apartments will now become part of the city's public housing stock for young people.
The property has a built area of 1,487 square metres, six floors and two commercial units. The total investment will amount to €8.7 million, including the cost of the necessary renovations.
The operation is part of a strategy to increase Barcelona’s public housing stock and eliminate tourist apartments from the city, thus raising the number of homes available. In this case, the right of first refusal and setting aside will allow the acquisition of new housing units in a densely populated area where new construction is difficult.
