Santa Cruz Invests Nearly €800,000 in Nine Community Spaces

Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council is putting almost €800,000 into the refurbishment and improvement of nine municipal spaces used by community organisations across the city.

The contract, worth €769,408.61, has been awarded to ECOCIVIL ELECTROMUR G.E., S.L., with the works due to be completed by 31 December 2027.

The programme covers maintenance, renovation and improvements to a number of municipal properties used by local groups and organisations.

Nine buildings included

The work will cover the following spaces:

  • Luz y Vida
  • Santiago Apóstol
  • Yanira Ofra
  • Las Palmitas
  • San Gerardo
  • Acentejo
  • Los Candiles
  • Cuchillitos de Tristán
  • Municipal facilities at Mercado de La Salud

The council says the works will improve the condition and functionality of the buildings, which are used by community organisations in different parts of Santa Cruz.

Spending spread across two years

The investment will be divided between 2026 and 2027.

€279,999.99 has been allocated for work during 2026, with a further €489,408.62 assigned to 2027.

The contract has already received the necessary approval for multi-year expenditure and has passed financial oversight by the council’s General Intervention.

So, assuming everything proceeds as planned, there is a fairly substantial amount of building work heading to these community spaces over the next couple of years.

Part of a much larger framework

This is the fourth contract awarded under a wider Framework Agreement covering the maintenance, renovation, extension and improvement of public schools and municipal buildings.

That framework was awarded to the same company in October 2024 for a period of four years, with an estimated total value of €36.87 million.

Previous contracts under the agreement have included extraordinary maintenance work, restoration of buildings at the Mercado de La Salud and the replacement of external carpentry at the Municipal Palace.

The latest contract is therefore part of a much broader programme of investment in Santa Cruz’s public buildings, rather than a standalone project.

For the nine community spaces included this time, the focus is on getting the buildings into better shape and making sure they remain useful for the organisations and residents who rely on them.
