The construction works of the first phase of the Collado Villalba multipist complex will begin at the beginning of October, once the rethinking act is carried out at the end of September. The City Council has awarded this first part of the project, which has an execution period of 18 months, to the company ejuca for an amount of 6.6 million euros, after presenting this 3% decrease on the bidding budget of 6.8 million.
The sports infrastructure will be built on a municipal plot next to the aquatic center, on Las Águedas street. The building will have an area of more than 5,000 square meters distributed in three areas and will have 130 photovoltaic panels to achieve significant energy savings. Although initially a single ship was planned, the project evolved to becoming a sports complex with basketball, living room, bádminton, volleyball, fencing, skating, rhythmic and acrobatic gymnastics, in addition to costumes for 150 athletes.
This expansion of endowments increased the total cost of the project to about 9.5 million euros, fully financed with municipal funds, and forced to divide the works into two phases. For the second phase, with an estimated cost of 2.7 million for furniture and equipment, the Popular Party promised at the end of March 2025 to bring to the plenary the necessary treasury remnant, with the support of the Socialist Party and more Madrid.
The mayor, Mariola Vargas, stressed that it is an installation “very demanded by all the neighbors and especially by the sports clubs of our town, with which the project has been agreed.” For his part, the Councilor for Urban Planning and Environment, Adan Martínez, has pointed out the “speed with which it has been awarded” so that “as soon as possible.”
