ALFONSO XII, 48
Madrid
Alfonso XII 48, located in the Retiro-Jerónimos neighbourhood, was the first property developed by Almada Tavira at the beginning of his career.
It was a house located on the 6th floor with incredible views of the Retiro Park.
The house had more than 200m2 and being well preserved, but originally underwent a comprehensive reform to suit the tastes and needs of today.
The design, project and refurbishment was carried out by the Tristán Domecq studio.
CAMPOAMOR 3
Madrid
Following the company's strategy of searching for the best locations for properties, the second project was carried out in the Centro / Justicia district, in the area known as Salesas.
This area is one of the most sought after as the area has some of the most beautiful stately buildings in Madrid.
Campoamor 3, was an office that was totally compartmentalised, lacking light and ample spaces. Thanks to the integral reform we managed to obtain a magnificent 3 bedroom property with a large living room and integrated kitchen, taking advantage of its wonderful balconies overlooking the street.
We restored all the original features (windows, shutters) so that the house did not lose the classic essence of the building where it was located.
PIAMONTE 5
Madrid
Continuing in the same location in the Justice area, Almada Tavira undertook its most ambitious project in Piamonte 5.
In 2018, we acquired a building that had 8 homes and a commercial premises.
The reform that was undertaken was integral leaving only the external part of the house and the staircase of the building, all the flats were completely reformed, changing the distributions, in the attic we managed to recover the terrace, and we restored the entire staircase of the building, it was a protected staircase, and the restoration was carried integral of the same, to recover the steps that were broken with holes, always following the line that the protection of the same demanded us. We managed to obtain a tourist licence for all the dwellings, which made it easier for us to market them, and we sold the turnkey project to a fund that was dedicated to the exploitation of prime housing for tourist rental.
SERRANO 20
Madrid
With the experience gained in previous projects, Almada Tavira's strategy for 2019 is to develop its activity in the high end/luxury segment, and to start investing in properties in the Recoletos area of the Salamanca neighbourhood, one of the most sought after areas of the capital.
Serrano 20 was the first transaction we closed in Recoletos and it was a property of over 300m2 on a 4th floor exterior that had previously been an office.
The classic building from the beginning of the 19th century had a privileged location, on Serrano street opposite the National Archaeological Museum. As an added value, the property had aninterior garden, and the aim of the refurbishment was to distribute the rooms in such a way that the rooms were oriented towards the garden.
During the renovation, old fireplaces, mouldings, floors, etc., which were hidden in partitions due to the previous distribution when it was an office, were recovered.
VELÁZQUEZ 9
Madrid
Also in 2019 an asset was acquired in Velázquez 9, a wonderful property of more than 400m2 with 7 balconies overlooking the street, in front of the prestigious Wellington Hotel and just two minutes from the Retiro Park.
Almada Tavira entered into a joint venture with a real estate investment company based in Miami, and developed a project of segregation into two dwellings.
Although in the process of this development came the COVID, we were able to shorten the execution time of the works, and bureaucratic administrative procedures that are attached to these segregation operations thanks to the high knowledge of the team that carried out this project, which as in all the previous ones we had the study of Tristán Domecq.
TRAFALGAR 23
Madrid
This property was located in Madrid's Chamberí neighbourhood, one of the most "traditional" and traditional districts of the capital.
The house was a fourth floor facing the Plaza de Olavide, the lungs of the area. It had more than 200m2 and its condition was very deteriorated, so we had to recover part of the floor and completely rebuild the inside of the house.
The building where the house was located was built in 1872, so it had a classic façade and protected elements such as an impressive wooden staircase and a caged lift.
NUÑEZ DE BALBOA 25
Madrid
Núñez de Balboa 25 was the first smaller property that Almada Tavira bought and refurbished.
It was a sixth floor in a modern building framed within the Recoletos area and had 90m2 from where we got a "pie a terre" with two bedrooms and two bathrooms and we also offered a garage in the same property.
VILLANUEVA 20
Madrid
In the same property where we currently market a house of more than 200 m2, Almada Tavira rehabilitated a flat in this property of only 80m2 where, thanks to the rethinking of the plant, we managed to get two bedrooms with two bathrooms and a large kitchen open to the living room.
GENERAL ARRANDO 1
Madrid
In one of the most charming streets of the Almagro neighbourhood, this classic building has been refurbished from scratch taking care and respecting its original elements that give it its own identity.
On the third floor we find this luxury flat with a surface area of 257m2, consisting of three en-suite bedrooms, a large outdoor kitchen and a spacious social area.
The corner property has 6 windows to the street and a balcony which gives the property spectacular natural light.
The property has been completely refurbished by the prestigious interior designer Tristán Domecq. The distribution of the property has been completely redone to open up the spaces and adapt it to the current taste, less compartmentalised and oriented to natural light.
