The City Council of Seville, through Emvisesa, has launched the Habitat Plan Sevilla with an investment of 2,980,923 euros. The works will benefit 2,071 homes in 20 buildings spread across Pino Montano, Torreblanca, Sevilla Este, San Jerónimo, Amate, Nervión, and La Macarena.
The City Council of Seville presented the Habitat Plan Sevilla this Friday, a rehabilitation programme that will mobilise 2,980,923 euros to intervene in 20 municipal buildings. The actions, which will be carried out during 2026, will affect 2,071 homes distributed across seven areas of the Andalusian capital.
The mayor, José Luis Sanz, announced the plan at the M.C.1.2 promotion in Sevilla Este, one of the locations where the works will begin. There, the planned investment amounts to 496,000 euros for 225 homes, averaging 2,203 euros per household.
Interventions by neighbourhoods: from Pino Montano to Nervión
The distribution of the interventions reflects the diversity of the public housing stock. The bulk of the buildings is concentrated in Pino Montano, with six promotions, and Torreblanca, with five. They are followed by Sevilla Este, San Jerónimo, Amate, and Nervión, with two each, and La Macarena, with one.
In total, 2,071 homes will benefit. The residents of these blocks will see improvements in elements that directly affect their daily lives: elevators, accessibility, energy efficiency, security, and common areas.
As the mayor explained, the selection of buildings is based on technical criteria from individual reports, but also on demands made over the years by the residents themselves and property managers. "There is no one-size-fits-all solution for all promotions," Sanz emphasised.
More than just works: everyday quality of life
The plan is not limited to aesthetic repairs. Among the planned interventions are the renewal of elevators, thermal insulation work, improvements in accessibility (such as ramps or automatic doors), enhanced security (intercoms, lighting), modernisation of electrical and plumbing installations, and works in garages and common areas.
"We are not just talking about works. We are talking about renewing elevators, improving accessibility, increasing energy efficiency," the mayor stated. For Emvisesa tenants, this translates into fewer breakdowns, lower bills, and greater comfort in their homes.
The mayor wanted to make it clear that the municipal housing policy does not end when the keys are handed over. "That is where a new responsibility begins: to preserve and modernise public assets to ensure quality of life for families," he defended.
A plan complementary to new construction
The Habitat Plan Sevilla is part of a broader municipal strategy that, according to Sanz, balances rehabilitation with the construction of new protected homes. Emvisesa has more than 2,200 new protected homes underway in the capital, but the City Council also considers it a priority to maintain the existing ones.
"A city is not only built, it is also cared for," summarised the mayor. The plan will be fully implemented during 2026, so residents of the included promotions will start to notice changes throughout the next year.
For the residents of the 20 blocks, the news comes as a relief after years of requesting improvements. "We had been asking for the elevators and leaks to be fixed for a long time," commented a resident of Pino Montano, who preferred not to give their name. "Now it seems they are listening to us."
