SEPES formalizes the free and advance transfer of land for the construction of educational and sports facilities in Ca n’Escandell

The general director of SEPES, Fidel Vázquez, has formalized the deed of segregation for the free and anticipated cession of the land in favor of the City of Eivissa.

The General Director of SEPES, a public business entity of land dependent on the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (Mitma), Fidel Vázquez, has come to Ibiza to formalize, together with the mayor of the city, Rafael Ruiz, the deed of segregation for the free and anticipated cession of the land of public facilities in favor of the City of Ibiza.

The advance transfer of the plots is made at the request of the City of Ibiza and will allow room for a school, the expansion of an educational center and sports facilities. The three plots subject to the transfer are the future E-DO 6 dotational plots, with an area of 1,320 m²; the E-DO 7 plot, with 11,205 m²; and the E-ES 5 plot, of 15,759 m².

Subsequently, the General Director of SEPES together with the Town Planning Councillor of the City of Ibiza, Jordi Salewski, visited the grounds of Ca n’Escandell, one of the ten actions that SEPES develops within the Affordable Rental Housing Plan of Mitma.

In this sense, this week the addendum for the extension of the collaboration agreement between the City of Ibiza and the SEPES until 2027 has been formalized, which will allow to maintain the necessary legal framework for the interadministrative collaboration that allows to carry out the action.

Ca n’Escandell

The Ca n’Escandell action is a public intervention led by SEPES, whose main objective is to improve access to housing, in an area declared tense by the prices of its rentals. Therefore, the action is included in the Affordable Rental Housing Plan promoted by the Government of Spain, through Mitma, and has a solid consensus and accredited interadministrative collaboration.

The project covers an area of 17.3 hectares, which will allow the promotion of 532 affordable homes. The design of the area includes 90% of the area dedicated to endowments and public spaces. Thus, social, educational and sports facilities are incorporated, responding to the need for public endowments throughout the city.

A large urban park of about nine hectares is contemplated, for whose design a public contest of ideas was convened, consistent with the importance of the citizen participation that the project entails.

The environmental aspects at Ca n’Escandell have been carefully addressed, both in terms of energy efficiency, healthy mobility, treatment of green areas and, in particular, the management of water resources. Likewise, the project values the patrimonial and ethnographic elements of the context.

It is an urban consolidation intervention that integrates residual spaces into the urban fabric of the city, promoting social cohesion and significantly raising the urban quality of the area.

Commitment to Balears

The Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda has actions under way in Balears that will allow the construction of more than 1,370 protected homes.

SEPES is present in the islands of Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca, with different residential projects. In particular, the public business entity has Son Busquets, in Mallorca, with capacity for more than 800 homes; in Eivissa, in the Ca n’Escandell performance, 532 homes will be built, of which 367 will be destined for affordable rent; while in Menorca some 50 homes will be built on the grounds of a plot of land on Calle Vasallo, in Maó.
