When you hear the term “residential community”, what image do you get? Maybe a gated community with a few houses and nice gardens, or the apartment building where you currently live?
Let us show you what some developers had in mind…
-
- El Ruedo, Madrid. 1,300 inhabitants in one block. A socialist dream of concrete.
-
- Torres Blancas, Madrid. Same architect as El Ruedo, but after a marathon of Mad Max and Blade Runner movies…
-
- Supracomunidad La Esperanza, Madrid. 18 towers, more than 3,000 inhabitants. Famous for generating its own heating with a huge system.
-
- Hacienda El Rosario, Sevilla, Spain. A proposed group of blocks with over a thousand flats, which would be the biggest in Spain. Includes a huge 33 thousand square meter park in the middle, swimming pool included, much needed with 40+ degrees in the summer.
-
- Going global, things get flashy. Town Square Dubai, by Nshama developers. 31 million square ft., over 3,000 units and climatized environments.
-
- And the winner is… Clifford Estates, Guangzhou, 500 hectares with population of 160,000. The father and mother of all residential communities, catered for expats.
