The El Vendrell City Council unanimously approved an agreement with the Generalitat this Friday to launch the bidding process for 30 social housing units.

The project will be located on municipal plots in Ramon Llull and Ginebró streets. These sites were transferred to the Generalitat's public land reserve in March 2024. Each building will contain approximately ten apartments, helping to alleviate the housing pressure in this coastal town.

"El Vendrell is a stressed municipality, with housing access problems due to its proximity to Barcelona and its status as a tourist destination."

Kenneth Martínez · Mayor of El Vendrell
The construction companies will hold the surface rights for 75 years, after which the buildings will return to municipal ownership. This plan is part of a broader strategy to increase the local public housing stock from 22 to 80 units in the coming years.
