Mercado Municipal 3 de Febrero revitalization proposal recommended

The Municipal Commission of Private Initiatives has unanimously recommended the proposal by Huang, Bin, developed by Estudio PIRQA, for the commercial exploitation and revitalization of the Mercado Municipal 3 de Febrero in Concepción del Uruguay. The proposal includes a committed investment of $2.4 billion pesos and features a program encompassing commercial, gastronomic, cultural, and tourist activities, alongside building recovery and improved accessibility.

The requested information includes a market study, proof of economic and financial solvency, an integral executive project, an urban and operational impact study, and a definitive physical-financial schedule. Additionally, the bidder must address the commercial mix, space for regional producers, maintenance plans, and a commitment to municipal control and community access.
