In Alicante, a notable real estate move has been confirmed by Consell’s vice president, Aitana Mas, who announced the acquisition of the historic Post Office building. The plan includes relocating the Generalitat Delegation’s city offices to share the building’s premises with the Valencia Institute of Finance. On the ground floor, the space will be opened up to host a variety of activities and public events, mirroring the approach used at the Post Office building in central Valencia where public-facing operations often take place in a similar open-area configuration. In practical terms, this arrangement aims to streamline administration, improve accessibility for residents, and create a hub for regional governance in the heart of Alicante.
The deal totals 4,906,859.87 euros. The existing Casa de las Brujas will be repurposed to house different sections of regional administration and is expected to function as the administrative center for the Ministry of Innovation. This redistribution of space reflects a broader strategy to consolidate ministries and streamline workflows, ensuring that innovation-focused initiatives receive a dedicated home within the regional government’s footprint. The arrangement also signals a commitment to better inter-ministerial coordination and a more visible government presence for constituents in the city and surrounding areas.
The Post Office building sits at Plaza Gabriel Miró, number 7, in Alicante. It is being acquired from Sociedad Estatal de Correos y Telégrafos, S.A., a public sector entity within the national state framework. The purchase underscores a trend toward repurposing prominent urban properties to serve contemporary administrative needs while preserving the architectural and cultural heritage of key locales. As part of the official record, the building’s importance is noted alongside the broader municipal landscape, where such facilities often serve as landmarks and logistical centers for civic activities.
According to cadastral records, the real estate encompasses a land area of 730 square meters and a total constructed area of 3,254 square meters. This geographic footprint provides ample space for the planned operations, meeting current and upcoming requirements for office space, public service zones, and common areas. The expansion also anticipates future growth in regional administration, allowing for flexible use of floors and rooms to accommodate new offices, meeting rooms, and community engagement spaces as needs evolve.
