The revised plan of French real-estate group Unibail Rodamco (URW) is for what is described as an urban centre with housing, shops, public facilities and green spaces. Up to 434 homes could be built and a university training centre is contemplated, the use of which would represent "a very significant social change in the Playa de Palma area".
The cost of construction is put at 23.2 million euros and the development has a value of 44.6 million euros.
The cost to provide the development with services is estimated to be 18.3 million euros, of which 11.8 million euros were previously invested in work for what at one time was going to be the 'Palma Springs' centre.

MyselfWell that's allright then. I am sure the engineer who conducted the study will be happy to move his family there. After all we are talking about one hundred year events so it might be OK till his grandkids get washed away. The local town in the area, Sant Jordi is built on a sticky out hilly bit. The road parallel to the motorway is Camino Son Fangos ( mud road) but if people know better -fine. As for me, you will not catch me building on alluvial soil on a flood plane , apart from anything else imagine everytime there is a DANA you have to think - how much of my stuff do I move upstairs. Of course if they build social housing, ie. houses for the poor they have less stuff to move. Maybe that's the answer.

This has to be one of the most contentious land areas in all of Mallorca but it has never made big news .Why Zoltan, precisely because it does not involve homes for millionaires although it would not surprise me if they did put homes for the poor there. Again why. A quick glance at Google Maps will show you this area is a swamp. It is smack in the middle of a flood plain, the spillway of water from Es Pla to the sea. Sooner or later a hundred year event a la Valencia or a la East Coast of Mallorca 1989 will come along and I would not want a business in Poligono Son Oms, or the Aquarium, or the hotels on the coast forming a barrier when that happens, let alone my million dollar abode. Valencia ought to guarantee this land is never used for housing or important social construction. Many many years ago it was a funfair. That is about the best use for it.
Yes.
Are these going to be affordable homes for locals, or just more second home homes for wealthy non residents?
