Situated in the very heart of Girona, in the prestigious Marquès de Camps Square, Casa Corominas is one of the city’s most distinctive and emblematic properties. It is a Noucentista building constructed in 1910 and renovated in 1927 by the architect Rafael Masó, the leading exponent of Girona’s Noucentisme, combining the charm and heritage value of early 20th-century architecture with the comforts and possibilities of use required today.
The property fully preserves the essence of Catalan Noucentisme, a movement that profoundly shaped Girona’s architectural landscape. Its spaces stand out for natural light, functionality, symmetry and the elegance characteristic of this architectural trend. Even today, numerous original elements are preserved, such as the wooden enclosures, the south-facing galleries, the relationship between interior and exterior spaces, the large terrace and the block courtyard with skylight, all entirely consistent with Rafael Masó’s architectural language. This ensemble makes Casa Corominas a true living testimony to early 20th-century Catalan architecture and gives it high historical, architectural and cultural value.
The property is listed as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest (BCIL), which guarantees the preservation of its most representative architectural elements and enhances its heritage interest. This designation entails protection of the property, while also potentially offering advantages in future rehabilitation and restoration works. Despite this protection, planning regulations allow a wide variety of compatible uses, considerably expanding the development possibilities of the building. In accordance with Article 97.5 of the Urban Planning Regulations of the General Plan, among these uses temporary accommodation stands out in particular, including hotel establishments and boutique hotels, a circumstance that makes this property an exceptional opportunity for exclusive hotel projects, foundations, corporate headquarters or other high value-added institutional and residential initiatives.
As for its layout, the property offers an extraordinary built area distributed over several floors, all with great potential for adaptation. On the ground floor there is a large commercial premises with 305 m² built. Above it is the main floor, 224 m², which retains the noble character of the original home and has six bedrooms, an independent office, two living rooms, a very bright dining room, an independent kitchen, a full bathroom and two guest toilets. This floor is complemented by a spectacular private terrace of around 100 m², equipped with an outdoor laundry area, offering a privileged space to enjoy privacy and the outdoors in the very center of Girona.
The first floor, with an area of 218 m², contains a second fully functional dwelling, with a very similar layout: six bedrooms, a bathroom, two living rooms, dining room and independent kitchen. It is an ideal space either to accommodate a second family unit or to allocate it to guest accommodation, rental or any other compatible use.
The second floor, also 218 m², maintains practically the same layout and, together with the 134 m² attic, offers spacious and versatile areas that can easily be adapted to new residential, professional or creative needs.
As an added value, the property includes a second commercial premises of 150 m² with independent access from the rear street, a feature that significantly increases the possibilities for exploiting the property, both from a commercial and an investment standpoint.
Regarding technical features, the property has undergone various improvement works aimed at increasing comfort and ensuring its conservation. It has acoustic and thermal insulation and damp-proofing on the sides of the building, while the water, electricity and gas installations were fully inspected just four years ago. The heating system is individual, powered by natural gas and distributed via radiators, ensuring a high level of comfort throughout the year.
In addition to the main property, the asset includes an urban plot strategically located in the center of Girona, representing an excellent residential development opportunity. With an area of 262 m² and classified as urban land, this plot currently has industrial use but offers significant building potential. According to current planning regulations, it allows an approximate development of ground floor plus four storeys (GF+4), with a maximum height of around 16.30 meters and an estimated buildable area of up to 1,310 m².
This potential makes it possible to consider different residential development alternatives, from an approximate maximum of five dwellings of between 80 and 85 m² built to ten dwellings of around 65 m² or, if regulations and the final configuration allow, up to fifteen dwellings of around 50 m². This flexibility makes it possible to orient the project both to the sales market and to the rental market, maximizing profitability.
The location of the property is undoubtedly one of its great attractions. Situated in one of Girona’s most central and best-connected areas, it is surrounded by shops, services, educational and healthcare facilities, green areas, and just a few minutes from the Old Town and the AVE high-speed rail station, which connects the city with Barcelona, Madrid and France.
In short, Casa Corominas represents an absolutely exceptional opportunity. Few properties are able to bring together in a single asset architectural heritage of this level, such a privileged location, a large built area, several commercial premises, a buildable plot and planning regulations that allow a wide diversity of uses. All of this makes it the ideal setting to develop a high value-added residential, hotel, institutional or business project, while keeping alive one of the most emblematic buildings of Girona’s architectural heritage.
