Overview
- Neighborhood associations from Poblats Marítims met with councillor José Marí Olano and issued a joint statement opposing the 100‑meter “Baluarte de la Marina” tower, with backing from the city’s neighborhood federation.
- They ask to modify the Marina’s special plan and press to shift the 7,000 m² parcel away from primarily hotel use toward tertiary or civic uses, arguing the site was ceded for public or social purposes.
- The groups cite opinions from the State Attorney’s Office and the Municipal Secretary to claim the current approach would not meet the required public‑interest destination for the land.
- The project was presented in December 2025 as a City–Port Authority pact to pursue a 30‑storey tower, with the city cleaning up the parcel before its reversion to the port and a later surface‑rights tender; the city has estimated €120 million in private investment.
- PSPV and Compromís sided with residents and criticized the plan, while separate commentary highlights the dársena’s sensitive, largely horizontal landscape and calls for a broader expert review before any approval.
