The Generalitat has awarded Landetic SL the right to build 119 affordable rental homes in Terrassa on municipal land, according to the Catalan government’s housing announcement published on 7 July 2026. For residents waiting for below-market rental housing in the city, the decision forms part of the first large batch of homes under the Pla 50.000 habitatges, the programme to expand protected housing across Catalunya.

The operation includes a 75-year surface right, a legal arrangement that allows a private developer to build and manage homes on publicly owned land for a fixed period while the land itself remains in public ownership. The wider tender awarded four lots across Catalunya for 1,940 protected rental homes, according to the Department of Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition, as reported in the Generalitat announcement and confirmed by Europa Press on 7 July 2026.

Part of a wider public housing push in Terrassa

Terrassa is already part of a separate Generalitat housing operation announced on govern.cat, under which the Catalan government said it would build 213 protected homes on two plots transferred by the Ajuntament de Terrassa, the city council. Those plots are in the AEG sector in the city centre and measure 3,936 square metres and 1,600 square metres.

In that earlier deal, announced by Economy and Finance Minister Alícia Romero alongside Mayor Jordi Ballart, the Generalitat said the transferred plots would join its assets in exchange for the industrial site known as Vapor Ros, which would pass to the city. The government said that move formed part of the urgent measures plan approved on 15 October to increase the supply of protected housing in Catalunya.

"Increasing the supply of public housing is one of the priorities of the Government and of the country," Alícia Romero said in the govern.cat announcement on the Terrassa agreement.
