Campamento Housing Drive Runs Into City–State Dispute Over Required Documents

The housing ministry says it is ready to tender works once urbanisation receives council approval.

Overview

  • The minister projects first home deliveries in late 2027 or early 2028, with building works estimated at roughly 30 months.
  • Demolition of the former Campamento barracks began this week, restarting a development long stalled by administrative delays.
  • Madrid’s mayor says the council cannot approve urbanisation because it is still missing the management memorandum, the sanitation plan, the water management plan and other required reports.
  • The ministry counters that it awaits city feedback on seven specific project dossiers and an environmental report, saying only two have received responses so far.
  • The plan foresees 10,700 public and affordable homes, with 25% of land for housing and 75% for public space including 154,000 m² of green areas, and rents targeted so they do not exceed 30% of area median income.
