However, Ronaldo The sale of the property was signed on December 19, 2023, which was in the name of his company ‘lusa Domum Septem Unipessoal LDA’ dedicated to the sale and lease of real estate assets.
Everything seemed to be going well, until the sales operation was paralyzed on January 5 of this year, since the property of the Portuguese It is part of a complex considered Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) in the Monument category. According to ‘EPE’, in order to carry out the transaction You need to notify three organizations: the Ministry of Culture and Sports, the City Council and the Community of Madrid.

Within a maximum period of two months after notification, “the ministry must inform the seller whether or not the right of first refusal is exercised,” Culture sources have explained to the aforementioned media.

A piecemeal BIC had never been declared. Normally, the BICs are complete buildings, but since they wanted to allow the works as they were, they did it that way,” Tellería said.

The building grew three stories, that protrude above the original façade of the Banco Hispano Americano, which is now the access to the Canalejas Gallery. In these nine plants It is where the 22 private apartments are located.
