Exclusive residential building for sale in the Gothic Quarter, Barcelona

Exclusive residential building for sale in the Gothic Quarter, Barcelona

We present an exclusive architectural asset for investors and developers in one of Barcelona’s most sought-after and highest-demand locations: Avinyó Street. This residential building, in an exceptional location in the very heart of the Gothic Quarter, is completely vacant and already has the major works permit formally granted by the City Council in January 2026. This represents an extraordinary competitive advantage in today’s market, as it fully eliminates long and uncertain bureaucratic waiting times, allowing the buyer to begin construction and rehabilitation immediately. With a sale price of €1,350,000, the property has a total built area of 506 m² on a plot of 155 m² (cadastral area). Being under 600 m², it is the ideal product for a private investor; its scale not only enables agile management and full control of the project, but it is also exempt from the more complex urban-planning restrictions that Barcelona regulations apply to large-scale developments. Its Land Registry classification as a built plot without horizontal division multiplies its future commercial options, allowing a tailor-made project to be designed in an area with a very high barrier to entry for new developments.

This historic gem, whose original construction dates back to 1900 according to official cadastral records, fully preserves the character of traditional Barcelona architecture and conceals a unique heritage value: the approved project предусматривает the preservation and enhancement of the Roman Wall located inside, providing an unparalleled stamp of historical exclusivity for the end client. The physical and legal structure of the asset is fully defined and supported by the municipal permit itself, which authorizes the execution of a major structural rehabilitation that will result in a retail premises on the ground floor and four high-end residential homes on the upper floors. Likewise, the asset enjoys full urban-planning guarantees, supported by an Urban Planning Classification 12B and a certificate issued by the City Council that bindingly certifies that there is no road-widening/roadway encumbrance affecting the property. The executive project includes detailed plans and inspirational renders designed to deliver a modern, high-end rehabilitation, combining contemporary comfort with original period elements such as exposed wooden beams and exposed stone walls.

This property in the very center of Barcelona represents a perfect heritage investment opportunity with extraordinary long-term appreciation potential. Its structural configuration and the authorized project are optimal both for a subsequent horizontal division intended for the sale of individual designer boutique apartments, and for operating the building as residential rentals aimed at an international high-net-worth profile seeking exclusivity, luxury, and history in the Catalan capital. Do not miss the chance to acquire a complete asset, ready to build and fully available in one of the city’s areas with the lowest land supply and highest demand.
