Urbanitae opens a new investment opportunity: the Villafranqueza project, a debt operation in Alicante. Funding will open tomorrow, Thursday, September 25 at 4:00 p.m. (UTC+2), via a single loan tranche.
Before that, on Thursday at 10:00 a.m. (UTC+2), we’ll host a webinar with the project manager, Padi Gestión, to walk through all the details first-hand.
The project
The Villafranqueza project is a bridge loan to finance part of the purchase price of two plots in the Villafranqueza neighborhood (Alicante) and to cover structuring costs. The manager will complement the remaining amount and associated expenses with its own funds.
These plots will be used to develop a residential scheme with 67 homes, 61 parking spaces, and 58 storage rooms, distributed over a ground floor plus three upper stories and two basement levels, with a total buildable area of 4,110 sqm. The basic project has already been submitted to the ECUV (the collaborative urban planning entity of the Valencian Regional Government), and the building permit is expected in 4–5 months.
The area features an established residential fabric, essential services, good connectivity to Alicante city center, and immediate proximity to the University of Alicante, less than 10 minutes by car. These characteristics make it a growing area, attractive to families and younger residents linked to academic and professional activity.
