The future Club de Mar enables fence-free Promenade in Palma
Palma
18/10/2017
The Board of Directors of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) today approved the extension of the Club de Mar concession in the port of Palma for a period of 24 years from 2019, when the current concession expires. This will entail capital investments of around €50 million by the Club de Mar, as well as an updated annual fee of around €10 million for use and exploitation of this port domain.
The land area to be occupied by the marina will remain at the 21,000 square metres that it currently operates, although the water surface area will be increased slightly to 197,000 square metres, bringing the total occupation of public port domains to 218,000 square metres.
Fence-free
As a result of this approval, the future Club de Mar will provide a brand new appearance for the waterfront in Palma thanks to the fencing along the promenade being removed. That way, the area will become a more open space for the general public, thus enhancing the APB’s idea of integrating its ports into areas for citizens to enjoy.
In addition, this project envisages the construction of a public indoor car park to improve accessibility for people who want to make use of this new area as it opens up to the city. The building work is expected to start in 2018.
