Office figures: No Andorran office vacancy figure was found in any source we could open. Map built 2026-10-09.
Every building a record says stands empty, one point per building: filter by type, size and how sure the evidence is, and open one to see who says so. “Opportunities” switches to the co-op lens: public land, conversion potential and projects already under way, every source as its own layer.
No register of empty buildings exists. The nationwide figure of about 2,000 empty flats is the Government's provisional estimate from electricity-contract data (29 July 2024), not a list; no addresses are published.

Check any building in Andorra la Vella: could it become homes, and could the EHC model work there?
Where empty offices, the right zoning and a working neighbourhood come together — and what could go wrong.
The former Hotel Jaume I is the capital's clearest case of an unused building being turned into affordable homes under a public concession.
Risk: A single concession already awarded to one operator; the owner is not named and the closure date is not published.
The Comú's Reviu programme started here: an uninhabitable private flat refurbished for the parish's rental pool, with the owner paying most of the works.
Risk: Single flats, not buildings; the owner keeps the property and the Comú recoups its share through reduced rents.
Who controls the space, and what a housing cooperative can actually do with them.
Acquires or partners on empty private properties, renovates them and adds them to the parish's rental pool, by public-private partnership; it has used a 30-year usage concession (Hotel Jaume I) for a whole building. A co-operative can offer to be the concessionaire or manager of a building, or to bring an owner with an empty building to the Comú.
The INH has opened a €21.6 million tender (it can grow to €35 million) to buy whole residential or former hotel buildings for about 150 affordable homes, and it repurposed a former hotel at Aixovall into 14 rentals. The 2024 bill adds a compulsory temporary cession of empty flats: an owner has three months to prove occupancy, then the Government can take the flat's use for up to five years at an affordable rent. A co-operative can partner with owners who would sell or cede to the INH.
Decisions, auctions and closures that change what becomes available, and when.
The Comú awarded €116,804.59 to refurbish an uninhabitable flat at Carrer del Puial 6 as a two-bedroom rental.
A former hotel at Aixovall (the article names no parish) yields 14 subsidised rentals; the tender, expandable to €35 million, is to buy complete residential or former hotel buildings for about 150 affordable homes, with expressions of interest due 30 June.
The Comú is reviewing its one formal bid for 40–50 regulated-rent homes on a plot opposite the Jovial building after the first tender failed.
The council approved a 30-year concession (14 October) for 18 affordable homes for older people in the former hotel.
The Council of Ministers approved the draft law; the provisional count is about 2,000 flats with no electricity contract or no consumption in the two years before 1 January 2024; the empty-flat tax would rise from €50 to €100 per m².
