Another step forward on the housing front… this time in Arona.
The Canary Islands Government has approved the technical project for 59 subsidised homes, along with parking spaces, on a plot known as “Marazul”, between Astrón and Estrella Polar streets.
It’s part of a wider plan as well, not just Arona.
In total, the project covers 159 homes across several municipalities, including Adeje and Guía de Isora here in Tenerife, as well as Arrecife and Santa Lucía de Tirajana over in Gran Canaria.
The Numbers Behind It
The budget for this phase comes in at just over €16 million, funded through the EU’s Next Generation programme.
So it’s not a small development, and it’s clearly part of the bigger push to increase available housing across the islands.
What Happens Next
At this stage, it’s the technical project approval, which means the groundwork is being put in place before construction actually begins.
The plans include all the usual bits you’d expect:
- Electrical installations
- Plumbing
- Thermal systems
- Health and safety planning
- Full project and site management
In other words… the paperwork and preparation needed before anything starts going up on site.
The Bigger Picture
Housing is still one of the main talking points across Tenerife, especially in the south where demand hasn’t slowed down at all.
So while 59 homes won’t solve the problem overnight, it’s another step in the right direction… assuming things move along as planned.
As always with these projects, the real question is how quickly it goes from paper to actual buildings.
