Vigo’s New PXOM Takes Effect as City Starts Processing 5,500 Homes

The rollout prioritizes protected housing to ease price pressures.

Overview

  • City officials say roughly 4,000 of the first 5,500 dwellings under review will be protected housing.
  • Early development areas cited include Santa Cristina, Parque Central, Ramón Nieto, the Ofimático, La Artística, Alfageme and Beiramar.
  • The plan doubles urban green space to 4.8 million m² with priority for the Lagares river corridor and new parks across multiple parishes.
  • Short‑term works include €189 million in municipal spending on roads and access links, with projects tied to Avenida de Madrid and connections to Navia and the A‑55.
  • New rules tighten tourist‑flat licensing by requiring independent entrances and treating them as tertiary hotel use, while the PXOM sets long‑range targets of over 50,000 homes and €876 million of total investment.
