Junta tenders Málaga city-centre plot for 28 protected homes. Bids close 4 February

The Junta de Andalucía has opened a public tender for a plot in central Málaga where 28 protected homes are to be built. The plot lies between Calle Parras and Calle Alta and belongs to the regional housing agency AVRA. It is of interest to anyone following affordable housing in the city centre, and to developers.

The notice was published in the BOJA, Andalucía's official gazette, according to the Junta's news service.

Key facts

• Homes: 28 protected homes, with 28 garage spaces and 28 storerooms (trasteros) linked to them, plus one commercial unit with an associated parking space.
• Plot: 1,162.71 square metres, with 2,241.13 square metres of buildable floor area.
• Minimum land price: €831,953.18 for general-regime affordable housing; €978,768.45 for limited-price protected housing.
• Deadline: bids must be submitted by 13.00 on 4 February 2027.
• Owner: the Agencia de Vivienda y Rehabilitación de Andalucía (AVRA).

How the tender works

The plot is offered through a "land-for-finished-housing swap" (permuta de suelo por vivienda terminada). The Junta describes this as a public-private partnership in which AVRA makes residential plots it owns available to private developers.

As payment for the land, the agency receives finished protected homes and ancillary spaces of equivalent value to the plot, on the terms set out in the tender. The Junta says the method allows affordable housing to be built on public land with private companies taking part, under the technical, economic and administrative conditions of each tender.

Two types of bid

Companies can bid to build affordable housing under the general regime, with a minimum land price of €831,953.18. They can also bid for limited-price protected housing, where the value is set at €978,768.45.

General-regime bids take priority. Limited-price proposals will be considered only if no bids are submitted to develop the scheme under the general regime, the Junta said.

What to watch

The deadline of 4 February 2027 is the next fixed date. The Junta's announcement does not give a building timetable or an overall budget for the works. Anyone wanting the full conditions should check the notice in the BOJA.
