The Generalitat de Catalunya has awarded four large public land lots for the construction of 1,940 affordable rental homes in Catalonia, according to an official announcement published on Tuesday in the Govern press room. The contracts were awarded by the Agència de l'Habitatge de Catalunya, the Catalan Housing Agency, to Landetic and Visoren Copisa Habitatges.
For people waiting for lower-cost rental housing, the immediate significance is that these are now the first four large lots from the public land reserve to move into the development stage. The homes are planned as protected, affordable rental housing, a tenure aimed at households priced out of the private rental market.
The official announcement states that the four awarded lots together allow for 1,940 homes. It also names the two successful bidders, Landetic and Visoren Copisa Habitatges, as the companies that will carry out the developments under this phase of the programme.
What has been awarded
- Four large public land lots
- Capacity for 1,940 affordable rental homes
- Awarding body: Agència de l'Habitatge de Catalunya
- Successful bidders: Landetic and Visoren Copisa Habitatges
- Announcement date: Tuesday, 7 July 2026
The Generalitat's announcement concerns land from the public reserve, which is being used to expand the stock of protected housing in Catalonia. In practice, that means the sites have been assigned so the winning firms can develop homes under the terms set by the public tender.

What local readers know so far
The official statement confirms the number of lots, the number of homes and the names of the successful bidders, but the announcement provided does not specify in the source material which municipalities or neighbourhoods the four awarded lots are in. That means residents cannot yet check whether one of the 1,940 homes will be built in their area from this announcement alone.
What is clear is that the programme is intended to add affordable rental housing in Catalonia through public land. For renters, councils and housing applicants, the next practical step will be to watch for municipality-level project details and future application processes once each development advances.
Tuesday's announcement is the confirmed starting point: four lots have now been awarded, and the total planned output attached to them is 1,940 affordable rental homes.
