The CEO of Aliseda, Eduard Mendiluce, stated that there is "a great opportunity now in the Spanish development market due to the lack of supply and strong demand that will continue to grow."
Mendiluce highlighted the "solid fundamentals" of the sector, advocated for public-private collaboration to mobilize public and private land under concession schemes, and called for legal certainty, simple urban planning, and incentives for investment and housing development.
Public-private collaboration
Martín regretted that "instead of encouraging construction, urban planning obstacles, legal uncertainty, and regulations that deter investment and discourage property owners have accumulated." He called for seeing the market as an ally, restoring legal certainty and landlord-tenant trust, speeding up urban development, releasing land, attracting investment, and fostering public-private collaboration.
The conference 'Land 4.0: Current situation and future outlook of the real estate sector' also featured the vice president of the CEOE, Iñigo Fernández de Mesa; the deputy secretary and head of housing for the PP, Paloma Martín; economist Gonzalo Bernardos; and Aliseda’s land director, Luis Alonso.
Fernández de Mesa advocated for promoting housing through both public and private investment so that the Spanish economy continues to grow: "There is no demand problem, and therefore we must be able to generate housing that meets the increasing flow of people."
Bernardos urged developers to take advantage of the moment to buy as much land as possible given the demand expected over the next decade and favorable macroeconomic conditions over the next five years, according to him. He pointed out a supply-demand mismatch: "We need a long-term vision from the public administration."
Flexible financing
Alonso said that Aliseda feels "part of the solution" to housing access, offering developers flexible financing and comprehensive support throughout their project. The Land 4.0 plan includes 1,900 plots of land with capacity to build 142,000 homes, of which nearly 1,000 are ready-to-build plots for over 20,000 homes.
The plan supports developers across five areas: land management, advising on urban planning procedures to transform land to ready-to-build status; sales network (61 direct salespeople, 49 sales delegates, and 23 offices), including an AI-powered digital sales service; project monitoring, with 60 architects; back office, with 230 Aliseda COE professionals to support administrative procedures; and assistance with financing.
The company offers deferred payment options through its Payments 4.0 initiative for certain assets, where 5% of the land value is paid in 2025 and the rest by the end of 2026 under various modalities. It also provides developers with solutions beyond its own offering, identifying land opportunities on the market that meet their needs.
