Overview

• Spain’s Housing Ministry said it will ask Valladolid to modify its PGOU so the La Rubia redevelopment can add 400 units, raising the potential promotion to 600 homes.
• The ministry argued the current planning framework only allows about 200 state-promoted dwellings, prompting the push for a planning change.
• Sepes will acquire the former Defense barracks this month via an €8 million transfer to launch demolition, housing design and urbanization work.
• At Friday’s presentation, Minister Isabel Rodríguez outlined an initial goal of 300 homes, including 200 fully affordable, noting some plots belong to private owners.
• Rodríguez pressed the Junta de Castilla y León to co-finance the new €378 million national housing plan with €25.5 million per year, while no delivery timeline was set and the city maintains the site could host up to 720 homes.
