Manresa 26 February 2025. The Mayor of Manresa, Marc Aloy Guàrdia, accompanied by the Councillor for Housing, Historical Centre and Licensing, Jesús Alonso Sainz, and the Councillor for Urban Planning and Mobility, Carles Garcia Estany, today visited the Nova Alcoholera construction site, the residential development that Metrovacesa is developing in the city. During the visit, they were accompanied by the Metrovacesa team for Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, made up of Jesús Osorio, Territorial Director; Óscar Negre, Development Manager; Alfredo Sarrias, Land Manager; and Isaac Uroz, Development Technician.

This project, which is progressing according to plan, will provide an important boost to the supply of housing in the area. Nova Alcoholera is a development that enhances the urban development of Manresa, offering new-build homes with a modern and efficient design. The residential complex comprises a total of 98 homes, with options of 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms. The development includes a total of 32 social housing units. In addition, the development has parking spaces for cars and motorbikes, as well as storage rooms, offering housing solutions adapted to various needs. There will also be six commercial premises that have aroused interest and 107 parking spaces, ensuring convenience for residents and visitors.

Marc Aloy, Mayor of Manresa, highlighted during the visit the fact that the development ‘offers different types of housing, 32 of which are social housing’. He also stressed that the project ‘will allow the area to be redeveloped’ and ‘generate a new public space of 3,620 square metres, of which 2,172 will be green areas, where 65 trees and 625 bushes will be planted’. He also highlighted the fact that ‘the chimney has been preserved, which is part of the city’s historical heritage and has already been restored, and a façade of the old Alcoholera will be reconstructed, which will be integrated into the new building’. For his part, Jesús Osorio, Territorial Director of Metrovacesa, highlighted that Nova Alcoholera ‘is an example of our commitment to sustainable development and urban regeneration in Manresa, including a commitment to subsidised housing, with 32 units. With this project, we are not only expanding the quality residential offer in the city, but also contributing to improving the urban environment and connectivity of the area’.

Boosting the area

In addition to its contribution to the residential offer, this project will also play a key role in the reconfiguration of the urban environment, helping to revitalise the area near the Manresa bus station. The initiative will improve connectivity and revitalise a strategic area of the city, creating a more orderly and accessible space for citizens. The transformation of the site, which formerly housed the L’Alcoholera liquor factory, has significantly changed the urban landscape, integrating heritage elements such as the restored chimney of the old factory.

The project is part of Metrovacesa’s commitment to the regeneration of strategic spaces and the sustainable growth of the city, contributing to improving the quality of life of its citizens.

This new project adds to Metrovacesa’s solid track record in Manresa, where the company has already delivered two residential developments: La Llum de Manresa and Mirador de Montserrat. With the incorporation of Nova Alcoholera, the developer reinforces its commitment to the municipality, reaching a total of 234 homes.

With this initiative, Metrovacesa continues to consolidate its position as a key player in the urban development of Manresa, contributing to the transformation and modernisation of the city through the creation of quality residential spaces.
