The 'Zeta District effect': new apartment project on industrial land in the area

What could already be called the 'Zeta District effect' continues to spread through the lands around Ortega y Gasset Avenue where the General Urban Planning Plan (PGOU) allows the construction of housing to replace industrial warehouses. The latest example of this is a project of 60 apartments that will be developed on a plot on Doctor Gómez del Río street, which was formerly the headquarters of a graphic arts company.

The Local Government Board of the Malaga City Council approved this Tuesday to admit the urbanization project of this operation, promoted by the Basque company Construcciones Intxausti. It involves an area of 4,970 square meters where 60 dwellings can be built, 19 of which will be officially protected. The buildings will be ground floor plus three stories high, and the green areas will total 2,100 square meters. The transformation works of the plot have a budget of 852,957 euros.

As reported by SUR last August, in this area located east of the new urbanization of Zeta District (for more than 3,400 homes) there are plots and old industrial areas where the PGOU allows their transformation through eight residential projects that add up to more than three hundred homes, in addition to commercial uses. It is also planned to extend westward the axis of Vera Cruz street, which starts in the San Luis industrial estate, to the roundabout where Ortega y Gasset Avenue and Washington Avenue meet.

Last summer, a similar project was activated on a large plot of about 19,000 square meters located next to the axis of Ortega y Gasset Avenue. This first action is mainly promoted by the entrepreneur Nicolás Romero Ruiz, owner of the Romerito hotel, with a career of almost 25 years in the Los Prados neighborhood. With the advice of architect Fernando Pérez del Pulgar (969 Architects), he has presented a project that includes the construction of a hotel on the facade towards Ortega y Gasset Avenue, and the building in the rear area of a set of 41 free-market apartments and 19 officially protected ones.
