The Santa Eulària Town Council will take to plenary this month the approval of the first promotion of rental housing at a limited price within its Crea Futur plan. This project seeks to offer accessible solutions to young people, seniors and families in the municipality, while promoting sustainability and social integration.
A historic step forward in affordable housing
The initiative contemplates the construction of between 70 and 100 rent-regulated housing units, located on des Gorg street, in the s’Olivera neighborhood of es Puig d’en Valls. With a design focused on sustainability and accessibility, these homes will offer spaces from 51 to 106 square meters, equipped with full bathrooms and kitchens. “The priority is that the citizens of Santa Eulària can plan their lives here, close to their roots and in an environment that fosters personal and professional development,” stressed Carmen Ferrer, mayor of the municipality.
Requirements and benefits for neighbors
The project prioritizes access to young people between 25 and 40 years, over 65 years and families with dependent children. To qualify for one of these homes will be necessary to be registered in Santa Eulària for at least 10 of the last 20 years, not own another home in Spain and meet certain income ranges depending on the size of the family unit. With rental prices starting at 593 euros per month, this model adapts to different economic realities and offers a viable solution in an increasingly complex real estate market.
Sustainability and local commitment
In addition to social criteria, the project seeks to reduce its environmental impact. Among the measures included are the use of sustainable materials, improvements in energy efficiency and the incorporation of collaborative spaces such as bicycle workshops and charging points for electric vehicles. The City Council has also established that at least 20% of the construction budget must go to local suppliers, thus promoting the island’s economy.
A plan with a long-term vision
The works will have a three-year execution period from the start of the works and, once completed, the surface right to the land will be assigned to the company awarded the contract for 75 years. After this period, both the land and the building will revert to public ownership.
