The neighbourhood of La Verneda i la Pau has some new residents at C/ Binèfar, 22. The keys to the 24 flats have now been given to the young people awarded the homes, who will pay social monthly rents that do not exceed 40% (including communal costs) of their income. The block was built using industrialised methods to reduce time frames and gain in sustainability.
The homes have been assigned, according to type, as follows: six flats for local residents in the neighbourhood of La Verneda i la Pau and adjacent areas, such as the Bon Pastor neighbourhood; two flats for single-parent families; two flats for people with reduced mobility. The rest were awarded to other young people on the Register of Applicants for Officially Protected Housing in Barcelona.
The people moving into the flats will pay rents linked to the floor space of their home, approximately between 415 and 515 euros a month.
The block has a ground floor which will be used for a facility, still to be defined, plus three floors with flats. Of the 24 flats available, 21 have two bedrooms and 3 have one. There are also two adapted homes. The distribution of the homes guarantees good ventilation and natural light. The rooftop is accessible and includes a communal space for clothes lines and a green area.
Work on the building began in September 2022, with the project involving an investment of more than 3.7 million euros.
