It is a ground floor plus two floors building that began to be built last April 2020 on a plot of land that IBAVI had acquired by sale in 2009. Of the 54 homes, fifty have two bedrooms and four have three bedrooms.

The development has involved an investment of €5,695,947.64 (VAT included) and the built surface area is 7,014.29 m². These homes, together with the other nine homes for young people that the IBAVI is building in Inca, represent an increase of 50% of the public housing stock in the municipality.

In this development, the housing module is organised around a central wet core that defines two areas with double orientation. The location of the day and night areas varies in height, generating different housing typologies per floor. The dwellings have outdoor spaces: a private garden on the ground floor and terraces on successive floors. The final energy consumption of the building is 0.65 kW/m²/year; therefore, it is practically a nearly zero energy building (NZEB), in compliance with Directive 2013/31/EU.

There are currently 643 social housing units under construction in the Balearic Islands, 9 of which are in Inca. It is planned to deliver 392 HPP this year. Thus, it is expected to increase the public housing stock by 64% before the end of the legislature, and to incorporate more than 1,100 new homes, 995 of which are newly built and the others acquired by other means such as the first refusal.
