Sustainable Quality

Valgrande is a balanced, sustainable urban development that respects the natural environment. The project aims to create a new district in Alcobendas, one that is fully integrated into the city itself and meets the highest standards of mobility, efficiency and environmental protection. Among its features, it will include two large parks around Monte de Valdelatas and Arroyo de Valdelacasa – each covering an area six times the size of Parque de Andalucía (Alcobendas) – with the aim of ensuring their protection and making them accessible to the public.

A focus on the environment

Green areas within the project

Valgrande will feature 570,000 m² of new open spaces and green areas, which will protect and enhance the area’s natural heritage and be accessible to all residents of Alcobendas. The green areas account for 27 per cent of the sector’s total area.

Valdelatas is growing with better access

Monte de Valdelatas is improving its protection and accessibility through the creation of a 200,077 m² natural buffer zone – an area equivalent to six times the size of Andalucía Park (Alcobendas). This new park makes it easier to access on foot and by bicycle.

A new central park for the Valdelacasa stream

The project also aims to protect the Valdelacasa stream by creating a large central park, covering an area of over 210,000 m² – equivalent to six times the size of the Andalucía Park (Alcobendas). This park features an extensive network of walking paths through the woodland, as well as playgrounds and areas for leisure and relaxation.

Sustainability as the backbone of the new development

Enhanced road connections

The project includes improvements to external road links and those passing through Alcobendas and provides for a junction with the future M-50. The underground section of the M-616 will significantly ease congestion during peak hours. Furthermore, Avenida de Valdeparra will be restored as an urban thoroughfare. The Valgrande road layout connects the northern and southern parts of the area and gives structure to the new town, facilitating access to the new large parks via ‘greenways’.

The city grows and integrates the new district

The Valgrande urban development forms a seamless extension of the existing town and enables the residents of Alcobendas to enjoy the full range of the area’s natural heritage, as well as the new services and facilities that are planned.

Innovation, efficiency and mobility

Designed as a Smart District, Valgrande will incorporate innovative solutions to promote more efficient and sustainable mobility. The development will feature an extensive network of footpaths and cycle lanes, as well as technology applied to transport, telecommunications and urban services. All of this will contribute to achieving the highest standards of sustainability, energy efficiency and responsible management of resources and waste.

A sustainability protocol comprising 50 measures

Valgrande is an urban development project which aims to become a driving force for economic and social development in Alcobendas over the next decade, with sustainability at the heart of this new initiative. To this end, the Valgrande Compensation Board and Alcobendas Town Council have signed a memorandum of understanding setting out more than 50 measures committed to the protection and creation of natural spaces, energy efficiency, the optimisation of resources and alternative modes of transport, establishing the future development as the largest sustainable housing project in the north of Madrid.
