The plot next to the Asamblea de Madrid will finally get a new building

The decision begins with a design competition to be launched in the coming days. The process will be anonymous and will have the support of the Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de Madrid, which will take part in selecting the jury. Teams must submit their proposals under a motto, in a format designed to prioritise architectural quality without constraints.

The future building will cover more than 10,000 square metres and include 140 parking spaces, a key improvement in an area where parking is limited. The budget exceeds 25 million euros, covering both construction and project management. In addition, the five finalist projects will receive financial compensation. Architects will have two months to submit their designs once the call is officially published. The initiative, proposed last summer, has gained broad political support, which is speeding up its development and strengthening its viability.

The arrival of the Cámara de Cuentas will be a functional leap for the area around the Asamblea, which has had a consolidated presence in the district since 1998. The project will allow an underused plot to be integrated into the urban dynamic, generating more activity and improving the perception of the space.

Projects like this redefine the balance between institutions and the neighbourhood. Turning an empty plot into a public facility not only changes the urban landscape, but also affects mobility, commerce, and the daily life of local residents, consolidating the role of Puente de Vallecas within Madrid's institutional map.
