Valencia looking into the future

With the America`s Cup 2007 here in Valencia, its all systems go for this vibrant city. It seems to be enjoying the limelight and has certainly got a few Aces up its sleeve. It certainly helps when Santiago Calatrava, one of the most famous Architects in the World comes from Valencia and with his support, Valencia is being thrust onto the centre stage for at least the next couple of years. On the photo you can see what part of the excitement is all about. These 3 new buildings which will be named Valencia, Castellon and Alicante are destined to become offices and residential apartments. They will be 308, 266 and 220 metres high and will be built over a train station (AVE) making the City of Arts and Sciences only 1 hour 40 minutes from Madrid and Barcelona, 45 minutes from Alicante and 20 minutes from Castellon.
Additionally, the project will also include the Horizontal Mediterranean building (edificio horizontal Mediterraneo) with a height of 13 metres and the Agora, a multifunctional space with a hydraulic system allowing the structure to change.

The port, which is being completely remodelled, will separate the commercial and the "sports" traffic with a new canal. It will also enjoy floating mooring facilities, a helipad, a VIP section, a hotel, a park big enough for 8.000 spectators and a large area devoted to restaurants, terraces and shops.

With all this in mind, its not hard to see that Valencia wants to become the next Barcelona and with so many other projects in the pipeline, who knows what could happen?
One thing is for sure, Valencia is closer to Madrid than Barcelona, so with the new train connection from Madrid, we should see more Madrileños coming our way. This could have a snowball effect and eventually push Valencia further into the limelight where it clearly likes to be! Lets see what happens....

Villas Valencia properties Growing!

We are proud to announce that we have taken over a local estate agency in Valencia and as a result we have increased our portfolio of properties. You will therefore see a much larger number of properties on our website. As usual, we always make a point of visiting all of our properties so that we can give you a first hand impression of what they are like with full details. Because of this and to keep our high standards, the descriptions on these new properties will be limited while we work our way through this list. If there is a particular property that you like or would like further information on, please let us know and we will move it up the “new properties list”. We thought it would be in your benefit to put them on our website immediately anyway, so you can have a wider choice.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Villas Valencia team.
