Andorra is facing a growing housing affordability crisis, prompting political party Andorra Endavant to propose an innovative solution: installing modular homes on the Prat de la Farga site. This initiative aims to provide cost-effective, sustainable, and rapidly deployable housing to help residents struggling with rising rental prices.
Why Prat de la Farga?
Prat de la Farga, a large, flat terrain, was originally designated for a Grifols laboratory project. However, after the project was canceled, the land reverted to government ownership. Instead of leaving it unused, Andorra Endavant suggests transforming it into a modular housing community, helping to alleviate the housing crisis.
Benefits of Modular Homes in Andorra
Modular homes are gaining popularity worldwide as a fast and cost-efficient alternative to traditional construction. The benefits include:
✅ Affordability – Modular homes cost less than conventional housing.
✅ Fast Construction – Homes can be assembled in weeks rather than months.
✅ Sustainability – Energy-efficient designs with lower environmental impact.
✅ Flexible Housing Solution – Can be easily expanded or relocated based on demand.
Financial Plan and Rental Pricing
To make this project viable, Andorra Endavant has proposed the following financial framework:
- Investment: €3.77 million for acquiring and installing modular homes.
- Affordable Rent: Estimated monthly rents between €300 and €500, making them accessible to young professionals, retirees, and low-income families.
- Return on Investment: The project aims to be self-sustaining, with the government recovering the investment within 10 years through rental income.
- Long-Term Viability: Modular homes have a lifespan of at least 30 years, providing long-term housing solutions.
Government Response and Next Steps
The Andorran government is open to evaluating the feasibility of using public land, including Prat de la Farga, for modular housing. The next steps involve:
🔹 Urban planning assessments to ensure compliance with local regulations.
🔹 Potential partnerships with local construction companies and suppliers.
🔹 Public consultations to gauge community support for the project.
Conclusion: A Step Toward Affordable Housing in Andorra
If implemented, this initiative could significantly ease Andorra’s housing crisis by providing a scalable, affordable, and eco-friendly housing solution. With increasing pressure on rental markets, modular homes could offer a practical way forward.
