Overview
- City data show €48.95 million spent in 2025 to acquire 97 flats (€21.71m), three plots with capacity for 119 homes (€4.89m), and a Via Laietana building that will free space for 80 dwellings (€22.35m).
- Only 89 of the roughly 300 units counted are finished or habitable, with the rest tied to future construction or rehabilitation before occupancy.
- The 30% inclusionary rule yielded 12 homes acquired by the city in 2025, and the government will seek a parliamentary change so relocations within the same neighborhood no longer require a Plan de Mejora Urbana.
- Barcelona has earmarked €20 million for further purchases in 2026 and expects to reach €100 million in acquisitions by the end of the term, with an emphasis on tanteo and retracto operations.
- The Generalitat reports 5,491 homes added to the public rental stock between 2021 and 2025 largely via preferential purchases and direct buys, while Sabadell advances a plan targeting 1,829 new homes by 2030 with 531 public projects underway.
