Mayor José Luis Sanz and the Minister of Development, Rocío Díaz, have handed over the keys to 138 protected rental homes in the Residencial Puerta Real development, in Palmas Altas. The rents range from €565 to €665 per month.
The City Council of Seville has taken a new step in its affordable housing policy with the delivery of 138 protected rental homes in the Palmas Altas neighbourhood. The development, called Residencial Puerta Real, has involved an investment of €26.7 million and will allow just as many families to access a home at affordable prices.
Institutional collaboration for affordable housing
The key handover event was attended by the Mayor of Seville, José Luis Sanz, and the Minister of Development, Territorial Coordination and Housing of the Junta de Andalucía, Rocío Díaz. Both highlighted the cooperation between administrations to make the project a reality. "Today is an important day because 138 families receive the keys to their new home. Behind each home is a life project that begins today," Sanz stated.
The funding has been achieved through a combination of contributions: the City Council of Seville has provided €13.13 million, the Next Generation European funds have contributed €6.68 million, the Junta de Andalucía has allocated €4.25 million through its rental promotion programme, and the State has added another €2.65 million from the 20,000 Plan.
Efficient and adapted homes
Residencial Puerta Real not only offers affordable homes but also incorporates sustainability criteria. The complex includes 146 parking spaces, storage rooms, and common areas such as a swimming pool, children's play areas, and a calisthenics area. Eight of the homes are adapted for people with reduced mobility.
The rents range from €565 to €665 per month, including a parking space and storage room, making it easier for families with limited incomes to access. Furthermore, the building has been designed to achieve the highest energy rating, A/A, thanks to aerothermal systems, photovoltaic panels, and high-performance materials. "This will result in significant savings on tenants' bills," municipal sources indicate.
The construction has employed industrialised solutions, such as prefabricated bathrooms, which have allowed for shorter execution times and improved quality control.
Emvisesa accelerates housing delivery
This development is part of the Emvisesa programme, the municipal housing company. According to the mayor, in recent weeks, homes have been delivered in developments such as Sol, Hacienda El Rosario, La María, La Salle, Puerta Jerez, and Pítamo Entreolivos. With Puerta Real, the City Council has delivered 296 protected rental homes recently, and expects to exceed 350 next week with another 58 in Pino Montano.
Additionally, the City Council has laid 17 foundation stones for new developments in neighbourhoods such as Cruz del Campo, Su Eminencia, Valdezorras, Puerta Carmona, Torre Augusta, Frontón Betis, or Algodoneras. In total, Emvisesa is developing 2,202 protected homes in Seville, and when including private initiatives, the figure approaches 6,000 homes in various phases.
For residents of Seville interested in future developments, the City Council reminds that information about the requirements and application deadlines is published on the Emvisesa website and official channels. Demand remains high, but the municipal roadmap aims to continue expanding the supply of affordable rental housing in the coming years.
