València, November 30th, 2021.- The Special Plan for the South Zone 1 of the Port of Valencia or Nazaret East Plan continues to take firm steps to convert this area of the city of Valencia, and especially the Nazaret district, into new green, tertiary and sports spaces. A new green lung and a multifunctional area that will reinforce the social and urban fabric of this neighbourhood, and will act as a catalyst for the economy. The Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) has published the specifications for the contracting of the drafting service for the urban development project for development areas 2 and 5 of this Special Plan for the southern zone 1 of the Port of València, with a base tender budget of 220,000 euros and a completion period of six months for the successful bidder.

Specifically, area 2 has a surface area of 18,454.04 m2 dedicated to tertiary use and is in the former ARLESA facilities (later MOYRESA, and in its last stage also known as BUNGE). The whole of the tertiary and multi-purpose sector is integrated into the urban fabric of Nazareth and falls within the Turia Garden Mouth Park. Area 2 has five plots, one of them of 11.646,84 m2, destined to garden and the rest for tertiary/dotacional use. In this area there is a protected area of ficus trees and a monumental eucalyptus tree. This area will have a buildable area of 25,000 m2t provided for in the agreement between the València City Council and the PAV, distributed in four blocks of 2, 3 and 5 storeys, grouped two by two in an L-shape following the outline of the urban fabric and allowing the continuity of the views and the integration of the existing neighbourhood with the park.

Area 5 is a green area located on the southern edge of the Plan area with an area of 8,375.86 m2. The development proposes two independent green areas separated by a road that runs parallel to the southern exterior front of the covered sports facilities from Calle de Algemesí to give access to a new parking area.

An area equivalent to 40 football stadium

The Special Plan for South Zone 1 of the Port of València, which is part of the Port of Valencia’s Port Space Delimitation Document (DEUP), transfers and defines in detail the details of the specific agreement reached between the City Council of Valencia and the PAV, which was approved in February 2017. This initiative is the result of the city-port relationship strategy, in which, in addition to the PAV and the City Council, the port community and the city’s residents also participate.

With the Nazaret East Plan, the PAV is earmarking 230,000 square metres of port territory, adjacent to the Natzaret neighbourhood, for public use. An area equivalent to 40 football pitches, which will provide the area with new green spaces such as the Mouth River Park, tertiary and sports facilities, with the Levante UD sports city. The Plan is divided into 5 areas:

Area 1, River Mouth Turia Park: 86.296,08 m2.

Configured downstream of the Astilleros Bridge, it includes the new structural development park and the old Turia riverbed, now channelled, with a total area of 86,296.08 m2.

Area 2, Tertiary Use: 18.454,04 m2

Located approximately on the site of the old ARLESA installations, it is intended for tertiary use and, where appropriate, also for public use, with an area of 18,454.04 m2.

Area 3, Sports facilities: 98.940,17 m2

Sports and open space area with an extension of 98.940,17 m2. This sports facility partially occupies the existing green area to the south (Natzaret South Park) and represents the recovery of the site of a sports facility, a green border between the port activity and the Natzaret neighbourhood, and also a centre for the promotion of uses and activities linked to leisure and sport.

The planning arranges this area, a priori, in two different urban plots in order to facilitate its management and subsequent execution:

A first plot that occupies practically the entire area, with a land area of 94,999.66 m2 whose main purpose will be to house outdoor sports facilities. It foresees the possibility of locating buildings linked to the main use, as well as other auxiliary support constructions. On the ZV-DP plot is located the building protected by the general planning, the “Benimar” building, which is included in the Inventory of buildings and elements of architectural interest of the municipality of Valencia. The sports facilities planned to be included in this area will have to carry out the refurbishment work on the Benimar building.

The second plot has a surface area of 3,940 m2 to locate an indoor sports facility.

Area 4, Marblau Equipment: 2,246 m2

The plan incorporates the existing facilities located in Algemesí Street, currently in operation, managed by the Valencia City Council through a concession for use as a youth centre, popular university and museum of the vegetable garden in the old Marblau spa. The surface area allocated to this area is 2,246 m2.

Area 5, Natzaret South Park: 8.375,86 m2

Area located on the southern edge, with an extension of 8,375.86 m2.

Green corridor

The Plan also includes a green cycling and pedestrian corridor linking the River Mouth Park with the current corridor which, running through the Logistics Activities Zone, connects with the areas of La Punta and Pinedo, with the aim of improving the continuity and dimensions of the green corridor around Nazaret to the northeast, linking all the maritime settlements from La Malvarrosa to La Punta and Pinedo. This cycle lane will have a minimum width of 2.50 metres, separated from the road and the pedestrian area.
