26–1 Vote Clears Alcobendas’ 8,600-Home Valgrande Plan

The decision moves the scheme into reparcelation before urbanization, with final approval targeted for 2026.

Overview

  • Council support spanned PP, PSOE, Vox and Futuro Alcobendas, with Más Madrid voting against the new partial plan.
  • The project foresees 8,600 dwellings on 2.17 million m², with roughly 54% protected housing and capacity for about 25,800 residents.
  • Nearly 600,000 m² of green space is planned, tree counts are set to rise from 2,555 to over 6,700, and design features include pneumatic waste, water regeneration and solar power.
  • The municipality estimates €2.3 billion in investment, about 4,000 construction jobs and more than 1,000 permanent positions once the neighborhood is complete.
  • Officials plan to overlap urbanization and building works where feasible, and the layout prepares links to the future M-50 with a proposed burying of the M-616 to cut congestion.
