After more than a year of projects and urban planning

The new Aldi is located in the town of Berango, in the province of Vizcaya, north of the “Greater Bilbao” area.

Aldi Nord’s intention to open a store in the municipality of Berango had been known for years, but the shortage of finished commercial land was a real obstacle to its realization. That is when SiGLA, as a specialist in the development of public real estate assets, entered the operation, securing a final plot of approximately 4,000 m² where Aldi has been operating since last Thursday, September 17.

The process hasn’t been easy. The City Council carried out a planning exercise in 2014 which, following the construction of several roads, halted its development. In 2017, the sector picked up speed again, but it was not until 2023 that Sigla acquired three plots of land for tertiary use, representing 21% of the sector, and the process of giving meaning to the projects and completing their development accelerated.

The entire procedure was carried out by a Cooperation Board, in which the local council took responsibility for the land redistribution project and the urbanization works on land that was already classified for tertiary use in the planning, with the result of the entire operation being to obtain duly legalized land ready for development.

In this way, SiGLA has secured a plot of land tailored to Aldi’s needs in a highly competitive area, as Mercadona, Eroski, Lidl, and Carrefour already operate in this municipality, once again providing a solution for a client who has been able to carry out the construction work on its establishment in parallel with the urbanization work.

SiGLA is a commercial real estate promotion, services, and investment company operating in three areas: Urban Development, Investment and Development, and Commercial Management.

Shopping centers, gas stations, logistics platforms, hotels, parking lots, chain stores, movie theaters, etc. are the focus of its activity, whether it involves the promotion and planning of new investments or construction, or the improvement of real estate assets, purchases, sales, or commercial and asset management.
