The project is expected to have 60 units with views over Plaza de las Glòries and the 22@ skyline.
Edmond de Rothschild Real Estate Investment Management (REIM), through one of its pan-European strategies, and UNIQ Residential have reinforced their successful relationship with a new residential development in Barcelona, specifically in the area of Plaza de las Glòrìes, in the neighbourhood of Poblenou.
This marks the latest collaboration between the two companies, following their previous development, Casa Maury Pares on Calle Mallorca, which included 22 residential properties and a 104-bed senior living development, in central Barcelona.
“We are delighted to continue our strong relationship with UNIQ Residential in Barcelona,” said Arnaud Andrieu, Co-CEO of Edmond de Rothschild REIM. “This new acquisition in Glòries reflects our confidence in the city’s long-term potential and our shared vision for creating high-quality residential developments. We are equally delighted to expand our real estate footprint in Spain, which is a market with great potential in our view.”
The district that encompasses the Glòries area has undergone a major urban transformation with the consolidation of the 22@ urban planning project initiated over 20 years ago, converting obsolete space into a key part of the city, attracting international companies, and contributing to the city's economic growth. This latest development will contribute to the ongoing revitalization of the neighborhood, reinforcing its status as a key hub for modern urban living.
Urban Input, the parent company of UNIQ Residential, has significantly contributed to the evolution of the 22@ district through its various business lines. Urban Input has designed and developed more than 90,000m² of next-generation office spaces, a Build2Rent project, the Hoxton Poblenou Hotel, as well as collaborating on the development of Plaza de las Glòries.
Mario Chisholm, Partner at Urban Input and Board Member of UNIQ commented: “We are excited about UNIQ extending its relationship with Edmond de Rothschild REIM to develop another best-in-class sustainable residential development. The number of projects we have developed in the area is a clear testament to our conviction that Poble Nou is an important part of the city's evolution and growth. We’re incredibly proud to continue contributing to the area’s evolution with this new development, adding to the vibrant transformation of one of Barcelona’s most dynamic districts.”
