Residencial Los Flamencos, winner of the APIRM awards for best tourism and real estate project

At Urbincasa we are in luck, because our development Los Flamencos, in Playa Paraíso, has been awarded as the best tourist-real estate development in the awards of the Association of Developers of the Region of Murcia (APIRM).

 

Los Flamencos, a residential development out of the ordinary

Urbincasa’s commitment to the development of Los Flamencos extends to a model of coexistence and integration of housing with the environment of the Salinas de Marchamalo.

An efficient residential complex

Los Flamencos is a unique residential complex where design, quality, innovation and efficiency go hand in hand. Thus, the building has a high energy certification, with a reduction in consumption and emissions of up to 75% compared to a traditional home.

 

The award for the Best Real Estate Tourism Development

was granted to Los Flamencos, developed by Urbincasa

 

In addition, the Residential is protected, thermally and acoustically, with an Exterior Thermal Insulation System (SATE), which allows considerable savings in energy consumption and a lower CO2 emission into the atmosphere. On the other hand, the homes have an aerothermal system which provides clean heating in winter and cooling in summer.

 

The awards ceremony was held on July 12 after the APIRM General Assembly.

The CEO of Urbincasa, Francisco Cervantes, was in charge of collecting the award.

 

An eco-friendly residential complex. 

Among the measures adopted to minimize the building’s impact on the environment are the use of non-invasive materials such as wood in the common areas; a system for collecting and reusing rainwater to irrigate the plot; an anti-pollution lighting system; an acoustic barrier to protect the birds resting in the salt flats; and the absence of grassy areas or other plants that require high water consumption. 

 

In addition, each owner receives a manual with advice and recommendations for the proper and responsible use of energy and water resources in their homes.

 

This residential complex is the perfect example of how beach housing is no longer unquestionably linked to the pattern of vacations, and here it is possible to develop many jobs from home with absolute normality.

A residential development that energizes the area.

Los Flamencos is a clear example of how construction, understood as a productive model towards a modern and efficient economy in the use of resources and materials, will play a leading role in the design of a new, greener and more sustainable Europe.

The construction of Los Flamencos has also been an economic stimulus, contributing to the generation of employment and wealth in the area, and helping to consolidate some small companies and trades related to the sector, which have seen in its construction the opportunity to grow and advance.

A destination for “digital nomads”

Residencial Los Flamencos is a modern and innovative development with ample spaces and a variety of services. The common areas have a themed swimming pool with swimming areas, chill out, Mediterranean garden, gym, individual lockers for beach equipment, volleyball court, petanque, bird watching, a running and cycling circuit, varied play areas for children, a training area for pets, bicycle pressure washing area, spa, community room and wifi space. 

 

This development was awarded in the residential tourism category, and the evidence is clear, as 80% of the residents of Los Flamencos are foreigners

 

In a certain way, it can be said that Urbincasa is dedicated to “importing” citizens from all over the world to the Region of Murcia. People who choose the Spanish southeast not only to retire and enjoy the rest of their lives in a unique environment, but there are more and more active families, with jobs with high technological content, “digital nomads”, who develop most of their activity from home, bringing to our region population and wealth, while breaking the seasonality in this coastal area. In short, this is a housing concept that we, at Urbincasa, have been committed to for some time now, offering top quality homes, with ample space and whose location, as in the case of Los Flamencos, is a great added value to the investment.

From Urbincasa we want to thank all the people who have participated in this special project, contributing with fresh ideas to improve day by day, as well as those who have trusted us.  A thousand thanks team!

Everyone’s health depends on yours

In Urbincasa we have always been proud of our commitment with the safety of the construction sites and the labour health of all our employees. The #COVID19 has been a litmus test for all the companies in their adaptation and incorporation of the hygienic and sanitary measures recommended by the authorities.

The use of masks, distancing, cleanliness, and disinfection of the working spaces. New habits and new rules before a health scenario that unsettles and worries us all.

In this line of commitment, we have taken a step forward, boosting an internal communication campaign addressed to all the collaborating companies with the aim of raising awareness about the importance of following the safety rules established to avoid the spread of the virus.

Our aim is that all the people who collaborate with Urbincasa keep free of the disease. The health of the rest of the workers depends on theirs. It is a matter of all of us and so we are going to make it clear with the diffusion of posters in all our developments and working centres.

Time capsule apartments in Cartagena

casas obra nueva

Hello again, we keep going describing our day by day, “de tú a tú”.The truth is that we must sorry to our clients, we took long time to issue this post, but the thing is that we were quite busy and involved in other issues like the stress map and Entrelares magazine. We

 don’t complain, we love what we do. Today we will tell you how was the event we had few days ago at the most well known apartments in Cartagena, we mean well known because of the big medal we got in “Residencial Zarzuela”

It’s a tradition that we invite our clients to meet each other in the emotional act of burying a capsule of time in the plot where the building will take place. We did the same emotional act with success few times and we felt the need to repeat it. It’s simple and emotional, each client receive a kit with a little brick, a little capsule, and some blank pieces of paper to fill. They introduce in the little capsule whatever they want…pictures, some text with wishes…and later we bury these capsules in the plot where their homes will be built. It’s a good way to leave all their desires and hopes for their future home. It’s very emotional and we have to thank to all those who participated and were willing to collaborate with us. Soon all of them will get the key of their home in Cartagena.

After burying the capsule of the time, we celebrate a friendly party in one of our penthouses to finish the celebration with laughs and cosy chats.
