Ada Colau says goodbye (for the moment) to Barcelona City Council with one last home purchase, again at a high price. The mayor has acquired 13 homes for almost 3 million euros in the Sant Andreu district, in Barcelona. For these apartments, Colau has paid almost 2,400 euros per m2, a price that, although it is somewhat below the market price, is still a high price to be considered a purchase “with public funds”, as sources have explained. from the market to idealista/news.
The 13 apartments that Colau has added to its park Phone Lead are part of an official protection promotion promoted by the Free Trade Zone Consortium itself to relocate families affected by the transformation of the Casernes, located on Paseo de Torres i Bages, 130, and on Teresa Boronat Fabra Street, 4. These 13 homes were left from that process , which will be used to expand the municipal housing stock.
The acquisition of these homes will be made in accordance with the VPO assessed price, making a total of 2.7 million euros, with a price per home according to the surface area of each one. In total, the total computable area will be 1,128 m2, with surfaces that vary between 65 and 119 m2. Likewise, the purchase price per home that the City Council will pay varies between 156,879 euros for the smallest ones, up to 283,412 for those with the largest surface area .
The building where the homes are located is made up of about eighty apartments with neighbors for a few years. The people who live there are the families with the right to relocation who resided in the old buildings of the military complex that had to be demolished due to the transformation of the area.
Thus, Ada Colau has continued buying homes at a somewhat high price for the last four years, and has said goodbye in the same way. She made her last big purchase in the center of the Catalan capital, when she bought two properties that together add up to 20 homes. The investment made for this operation, intermediated through the right of first refusal and withdrawal, is almost 5 million euros .
According to experts consulted by idealista/news at the time of the purchase, these types of operations represent “a dilemma regarding public funds and how they are used.” “One of the problems that arise in these operations is that the majority of these apartments will be included in the public housing stock of the city of Barcelona, but they will not reach the hands of people who need this type of accommodation , since in Most of the apartments are already rented to families who, presumably in the area, can pay a higher rent,” explains a Barcelona real estate source who prefers not to be named.
