Overview
- The Xunta published an architectural ideas competition covering 412 protected homes, two 150‑place student residences, and 150 shared accommodations in A Coruña, with total investment above €80 million.
- In Santiago’s Salgueiriños site, now used as a Tussa‑managed parking area, plans call for 244 public rental homes and a 150‑place residence for young people.
- On the Elviña campus in A Coruña, the brief includes 168 public homes, 150 shared accommodations, and a 150‑place university residence on IGVS‑owned land.
- Submissions are open until March 23, after which five finalists per site will receive €15,000 to develop proposals before a jury selects a winner to draft the project this year.
- IGVS will urbanize plots and build the homes and shared units while the Consellería de Cultura will execute the residences; Santiago’s scheme is budgeted at about €40 million, with construction tenders targeted for early–mid 2027 and a 30‑month build pointing to completion near 2030.
