Construction Starts on Borda Nova II Affordable Apartments in Andorra la Vella

Construction has begun on the second block of affordable rental apartments in Andorra la Vella's Borda Nova area, with earthworks underway on a steeply sloped site. The government anticipates the project will take about three years to complete, matching the timeline of the adjacent first building.

The initial Borda Nova I structure, launched in March 2023 in the Terra Vella zone, is nearing completion after minor delays. Originally slated to finish by the end of last year, it now awaits final touch-ups before the tender and allocation process can start. That building includes 44 apartments ranging from one to three bedrooms.

Borda Nova II, awarded to the joint venture Edicom–TP La Coma, carries an initial projected cost of €10,654,700.98. Works are expected to last 35 months and will produce 42 apartments of one to three bedrooms, one commercial space, and 52 parking spaces across two basement levels. The ground and first floors will mix retail, residential, and public areas, topped by six residential storeys. Parking structures will use concrete, while upper residential levels will employ wood, following the design approach of the first building.

Both projects stem from an agreement between the government and Andorra la Vella council to develop land recovered through rezoning. The second block will sit directly next to its predecessor, which has two more apartments. Officials from the Territory department expect strong demand given the central location and new construction.
