Parque de Oza adding 32 new homes

A housing development is moving ahead beside Parque de Oza in A Coruña, and the immediate news is pretty concrete — 32 new flats are now being marketed on Calle Montes with starting prices from €315,000. This is not the giant long-term remake of the whole Oza area. It is a smaller, already defined residential block being sold now by Masar. That matters because A Coruña badly needs more homes, but it also shows how new supply in the city is arriving in pieces — one promotable plot at a time.

Buyers can choose between 2- and 3-bedroom units, with 1 or 2 bathrooms, and the smallest homes start at 67 square meters. Every unit is being sold with a terrace, a garag(elespanol.com)e the city.

That location matters more than it might seem. It sits in one of the city’s eastern residential belts — close enough to establishe(elespanol.com) and a preview of a neighborhood that is still changing.

Masar’s sales material adds a few details that help explain the pricing — preinstallation for electric-car charging, photovoltaic panels, heat pump systems, underfloor heating, low-emissi(elespanol.com)but it does place them in the current Spanish new-build playbook, where energy performance has become part of the value proposition.

In housing stories, there is a big difference between “a site may someday be developed” and “a promoter is listing unit types, features and pr(elespanol.com)tion phase.

The wider Parque de Oza area has been tied to a much larger urban process involving planning agreements, public-space allocations, environmental steps (elespanol.com) the near-term, marketable piece of a much bigger and more politically sensitive puzzle.

A Coruña has been openly counting future supply and looking for ways to expand both public and private housing stock over the coming years(elespanol.com)velopable land is limited.

A starting price of €315,000 means these homes are not aimed at the broadest slice of strained households. They are new stock, and new stock matters, but they are not the same thin(elespanol.com)eset the market.

But the bigger story is the gap between “more homes” and “more affordable homes.” A Coruña is getting the first one faster than the second.
