The Plenary will complete the process to start the construction of 117 subsidized housing units while the City Council finalizes the bidding process for the land for another 199 subsidized housing units.

The Consistory approves the declaration of special interest for the construction of the first 117 homes in Camino de Cortes Sur, for which the building permit is being processed.

The tender for two plots in Camino de Cortes Norte, where another 199 VPOs are planned, will prioritize the lowest final price for the buyers of these homes.

The Estepona City Council continues to advance in its municipal plan for the construction of subsidized housing and thus facilitate access to citizens with greater difficulties. The Plenary of this May will give the green light to the declaration of special interest of the works to build a total of 117 VPO (divided into two promotions of 84 and 33 homes), for which the corresponding building permit is being processed.

In addition to this project, the government team is finalizing the preparation of a bidding document for two other municipal plots where 199 subsidized housing units of general and special regime can be built in the area of Camino de Cortes Norte. The document is in its final phase, which will allow the bidding process to begin shortly.

This tender will have special features, so that the award criteria will be the lowest price offered for the acquisition of the land, as well as the lowest final price for the buyers of these homes.

Other VPO projects

In addition to these actions, the Consistory approved in the last February Plenary Session the compatibility of use for a total of 36 municipal plots that may be used for the construction of subsidized housing. This has been possible thanks to the adhesion of the City Council to the Decree-Law 1/2025 of urgent measures on housing, approved by the Junta de Andalucía, to promote the construction of VPO. Based on the parameters set out in the General Urban Development Plan (PGOU) of Estepona, a total of 738 homes could be built on the aforementioned land, which is distributed throughout the municipality.

The Estepona City Council has also approved the provision to the central government of six municipal plots with capacity for the construction of 109 subsidized housing units. These are plots of land with uses compatible with subsidized housing projects located in areas such as Casas del Padrón, Llanos de la Boladilla and Camino de Cortes. The municipal proposal responds to the announcement recently made by the Government of Spain to mobilize up to 23,000 million euros public and private to boost the supply of housing, and finance the construction of 15,000 units per year in Spain through the fund ‘Spain Grows’.

Likewise, the City Council continues to work on other urban development projects that will allow the construction of 300 VPOs in Camino de Monterroso and another 800 in the Guadalobón and Arroyo Vaquero areas.
