Rural heritage in Cardedeu
Project site Cal Paler Nou, in Cardedeu

What heritages can fit us?

We work preferably with plots and buildings that meet certain minimum criteria:

Location

  • Preferably, municipalities of more than 20.000 inhabitants, municipalities that are part of the Metropolitan Area of ​​Barcelona o regional capitals.
  • In rural environments, we can also promote projects in smaller towns, but only when there is a solid and cohesive group with a previous track record, or the demand is guaranteed and justified.

Dimensions of heritage

  • Projects of 15 homes or more, either in existing buildings or on plots suitable for this buildability (a minimum of 1.500 m² of roof area).
  • In rural areas, projects can be smaller, as long as the aforementioned driving group and demand are present.

Technical and economic feasibility

Any project must guarantee the minimum viability requirements in order to be developed. The cooperative's technical team will analyze the following aspects in detail:

  • Price and conditions suitable for a cooperative project.
  • Viability urban planning i constructive (state of the building, possibility of demolition and new construction, current regulations, etc.).

What formulas do we offer?


Surface law

Real right that empowers the cooperative for a long period (up to 99 years) to build and maintain buildings on land that does not belong to it. The ownership ( bare ownership ) of the land —public or private— is not transferred to the cooperative. After the agreed period, the building returns to the ownership.

It is the most common model because:

  • Preserves land ownership (own nudet).
  • It allows you to define assignment criteria, financial fee and other conditions.
  • It promotes stable, affordable housing with a social return, since the amount is less than that of a purchase.

Buying and selling assets 

In some cases we can consider purchasing a plot of land or building as long as the price and conditions make the project viable.

Other formulas

If you have a unique proposal or a case that does not fully fit the previous points, we can also evaluate it.
