Overview
- Barcelona’s municipal government commission approved the special urban plan to convert part of the Fira de Montjuïc into a mixed-use area with 500 public flats plus 48 dotational dwellings.
- Works are sequenced so fairground upgrades proceed first between 2026 and 2029, with housing and public facilities scheduled to start in 2029.
- The city reports an initial budget of about €90–90.6 million, and outlets cite completion in the early 2030s, with timelines varying between 2033 and 2034.
- The project requires demolishing four large Fira buildings while preserving Palau 2, reshaping the site into three closed residential blocks and new open passages between Paral·lel and plaça del Univers.
- New public amenities include a CAP, an expanded Espai Bombers, a larger playground for the Mossèn Jacint Verdaguer school, a sports center integrated into Palau 2, relocation of the Guardia Urbana vehicle depot, and approved rehabilitations of the 1929 Alfons XIII and Reina Victoria Eugenia pavilions.
