The Local Government Board of the Telde City Council has approved the granting of the urban planning license for the construction of a residential building with 144 protected homes in the La Vega area.

The project, located on plot P-21, within the vicinity of Contrapeso, Melanio Alfageme Julve, Paseo Daniel Ramos Padrón, and Deogracias Fernández-Simal Achaques streets, includes the construction of a building with two basement levels and three above-ground floors. It will feature 144 homes, 144 laundry rooms, 150 storage units, and 163 parking spaces, with an execution budget exceeding five million euros.
A significant aspect of this development is that it proposes 144 protected homes on a plot originally planned for 80. The municipal technical report justifies the viability of this proposal based on the regional housing regulations, particularly Decree-Law 1/2024, of February 19, on urgent housing measures in the Canary Islands, considering the protected status of the promotion and compliance with other urban planning parameters.
The project documentation also indicates that the development has received provisional favorable qualification for protected housing from the Government of the Canary Islands. The report notes that the proposal adheres to the examined parameters regarding buildability, occupation, height, and building configuration, without prejudice to the technical conditions that must be duly justified in subsequent project phases.
With this agreement, the Telde City Council continues to advance in processing residential developments aimed at increasing the supply of protected housing in the municipality, addressing a key social challenge in the Canary Islands. The license grants municipal urban planning authorization to execute the project as approved, subject to other required authorizations and compliance with all conditions set forth in the file.
Driven by the Urban Planning Department, headed by Juan Francisco Jiménez, this protected housing project is substantial in scale, both in the number of planned homes and its impact on the urban development of La Vega. It ranks among the most significant residential developments processed in Telde in recent years, contributing to meeting the growing demand for housing.
