Cooperativa Aire (Edificio Aire, Puente Tocinos) is a housing cooperative created to deliver 26 homes in Puente Tocinos, a district of Murcia, Spain, as part of the city’s Murcia Crece initiative. The project was presented as a pilot for providing homes at affordable prices through public-private cooperation.2
The development is planned for Calle Mayor, near Jardín Aljada. It is to include homes with one to four bedrooms, including duplex penthouses, in a building with ground-floor commercial premises and five residential floors. Plans also include an interior courtyard with a swimming pool.2 The homes are to be sold through the cooperative model, with open access and allocations made in order of reservation; the article reported a minimum price of €110,000.2
The City of Murcia made the development possible by providing the land, while Urbamusa is identified in project materials as the cooperative’s manager. The cooperative’s formal name is Cooperativa de Viviendas Edificio Aire, and the listed cooperative entity is Jardín Aljada S. Coop.23 The article names Rebeca Pérez, then vice-mayor and municipal spokesperson, as a public representative who discussed the project; it does not identify an individual project founder.2
At the time of the article, the cooperative had been constituted and was seeking members, with sales expected to begin the following March. Murcia Crece was also described as planning 458 additional homes across eight districts, alongside housing rehabilitation and other municipal housing measures.2 The sources do not establish a construction start date.2
