The second phase of the Ice Factory, which includes the creation of a night center with a dozen dormitories for over 30 users and an administrative area, was supposed to be completed by February 2026. However, the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council has had to grant two extensions to the execution period.
The contract, named 'Conditioning of the Ice Factory into a Night Center and Administrative Area,' was awarded in May 2025 to a UTE with an initial eight-month term. Following its formalization on June 6, 2025, the works should have been finished by February 2026.
The first extension, granted by municipal decree on February 23, 2026, extended the deadline by only one month, until March 31, 2026, despite the company requesting two months. This initial extension proved insufficient, and a work management report dated March 27, 2026 approved another one-month extension, setting April 30, 2026 as the new deadline.
“"In a report dated February 19, 2026, this technical management proposed to the Contracting Body an extension of the work execution period for one month, with the contractor having requested two months."
The municipal decree of March 30, 2026 justified this second extension by the need to ensure the proper completion of the work. Nevertheless, the document itself already anticipated that this new date would also not be met, indicating that completion would not occur before May 15.
Authorized sources from the capital's City Council stated on April 30 that the work itself is practically finished, with only minor details remaining to be completed in the coming weeks.
