The Community of Madrid has significantly boosted urban development in Getafe by fast-tracking a residential plan. This plan, declared of 'special relevance' by the regional Urban Development Accelerator at the request of the City Council, will considerably shorten administrative deadlines for the construction of 700 homes.

The priority measure will ensure that all related files for this development are processed swiftly. Additionally, documentation will be centralized on the regional digital platform CESEIS, designed to optimize and expedite urban planning procedures by integrating sectoral reports.

Of the total planned homes, approximately 140 will feature some form of public protection, representing about 20% of the new residential stock. The primary goal of this project is to address the growing housing demand in the area, particularly among young people, given the scarcity of available land and rising prices.

The new development will be located in an area currently occupied by former industrial uses, situated between the Juan de la Cierva neighborhood and the Los Ángeles industrial estate. The transformation of this space aims to improve urban connectivity between both areas and will include the creation of new green spaces, public areas, and infrastructure enhancements for pedestrian and cycling mobility, as well as improved access to the Cercanías train station.

This project joins eight other strategic residential developments promoted by the Urban Development Accelerator since its inception in January, collectively accounting for over 15,000 planned homes in municipalities such as Madrid, Móstoles, Alcalá de Henares, Tres Cantos, and Gascones.

Among the notable initiatives are the development of Alcalá Roca City in Alcalá de Henares (2,500-3,000 homes), several residential areas in Móstoles (over 13,000 homes), and the new Municipal Strategic Plan for Madrid.
