Success stories

Quinta Caparica

Project for the construction of a student residence in Caparica (Almada), in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area, with a capacity for about 400 beds. The plot where the new campus will be located has a total area of 6,500m2. The building, as foreseen in the project, will have more than 10,000m2, divided into four floors above ground of between 2,140m2 and 2,500m2, and one floor below ground of about 2,000m2.

The project includes the development of large outdoor sports areas, designed to encourage physical activity and sports among students. As a distinctive feature, a modern rooftop will complement the facilities, offering a unique space that will combine high quality accommodation with exceptional leisure options.

San Marcelo

Conversion project of an industrial building built in the 1980s in the Ventas area in the Ciudad Lineal district of Madrid into a residential project of more than 2,500m2 that houses 26 sustainable homes with the highest energy rating ("A").

The conversion process required a long period of analysis in order to define the best fit in terms of units that will maximize rental income, always keeping in mind a functional, attractive and current product. The building conversion execution process took less than 12 months.

Hermanos de Pablo

Project targeting the enhancement and repurposing of a residential building consisting of two blocks which originally consisted of nine dwellings and five establishments in the Quintana neighbourhood of Madrid’s Ciudad Lineal district.

The establishments were converted into dwellings, and, with the remaining buildability, two more storeys were added for a total of 24 dwellings with maximum energy ratings and sustainable quality standards.

Nadine

This project comprised eight buildings and a total of 80 dwellings located in the Cruz de Humilladero district of Málaga which were in a poor state of upkeep at the time of purchase. GavariAM targeted the renovation of the dwellings, the common areas of the buildings, the facilities and the utilities, among other features. This resulted in the creation of affordable and attractive residential rental properties whose interior and exterior renovation has contributed to the improvement and renewal of the surrounding area.

Coliving Carlos III

Project consisting of five buildings and 38 dwellings there were in a very poor state of upkeep and considerably underdeveloped. The project targets long-term residential occupancy of the assets, which are located opposite the Getafe campus of the Carlos III University of Madrid.

GavariAM undertook the complete refurbishment of the buildings with the goal of designing youth- oriented and functional housing for university students. The resulting dwellings, which make full use of available space for the living quarters, was warmly received in the student community, largely due to the dearth of qualified professional accommodation on offer.
