Largest H&M Shop to Open in Barcelona with a BIG surprise inside!! 

23/1/2017

0 Comments

 
​358. Next Friday 3rd February H&M will open its largest shop in Spain located right on the corner of Paseo de Gracia and Gran Vía. It will cover a space of 5000m2 which it will include a Flax and Kale restaurant! Let’s remember that Zara opens just before Christmas its largest shop located in the heat of Plaza Cataluña... now H&M is following the strategy. The shop will be distributed on 4 floors but its most innovative idea is without a doubt the fact that one of the most fashionable restaurants in Barcelona will have another restaurant inside this huge retail shop located on the second floor which will have around 200m2. Let’s remember that Flax and Kale is a vegetarian restaurant with fresh cold press juices, and amazing macrobiotic dishes. Its definitely going to be a MUST try for us this following weeks!

Archivo Municipal

9/1/2017

1 Comment

 
351. Today I had the pleasure of visiting the municipal archive of Barcelona, the Contemporary one though! The archives are divided upon the time frames. The one I visited has archives back from 1836. 
The reason why I had to visit the archive is because we have a client who is looking to invest in a building in Las Ramblas of Barcelona. The building has currently an office use and this client wants to turn this space into residential units.  In order to do this we need to ensure that the properties will comply with the Cédula de Habitabilidad document this document is issued by the Generalitat and it gives the ability of using a space for a residential purpose, confirming it complies with healthy and safety, and has sufficient space and sanitary conditions for a specific amount of people to live there. 
In order to convert an office space into a residential area in Barcelona one must look at the usage back when the building was initially constructed. in this case according to the catastro it was build in 1965. so we had the check the floor plans from back then and unfortunately the verdict was that it was an office space, therefore we will not be able to obtain the Cédula de habitabilidad document needed to convert this space into a residential one. If however, the original floor plan demonstrated it was residential we could have converted the space back to its original usage with no problem. 
Hope this helped! more info check the link below:
