Alicante housing authority initiates purchase of protected apartments

The Generalitat Valenciana housing department has reactivated the right of first refusal to acquire two protected housing units within the Residencial Les Naus development, located in the Playa de San Juan district of Alicante.

The properties are currently owned by former Urban Planning Councilor Rocío Gómez and Francisco Ordiñana, the sole administrator of Fraorgi, the management company for the cooperative that promoted the complex. The regional administration has notified both owners of its intent to purchase the homes and is preparing inspections to verify their condition.

This move follows a lack of response regarding whether any judicial resolutions exist that might prevent the transfer of these properties. The Residencial Les Naus development, built on municipal land auctioned between 2018 and 2022, is currently subject to an investigation by the Alicante Court of Instruction number 5. This judicial proceeding involves 18 individuals, including Gómez and Ordiñana, regarding alleged irregularities in the management and commercialization of the development. No criminal responsibility has been firmly attributed to the investigated parties.
