Mercats de Barcelona entrusts Rubau with the remodelling of the historic MercatdelNinot

December, 2015

ConstruccionesRubau, in a temporary joint venture with VIAS and CALAF, has been awarded the third and final phase of the remodelling of the MercatdelNinot.

La duración de las obras es de 24 meses y se prevé que estén acabadas durante el primer trimestre del año 2015. Con ello se finalizará la última fase de la remodelación de este mercado situado en un emplazamiento histórico para el comercio de la ciudad. La historia de este merado nace a finales del siglo xix con un mercado al aire libre que dependía del Ayuntamiento de Les Corts, que por aquel entonces era un municipio independiente.

The main activities to be carried out are:

• Refurbishment and remodelling of the entire building, including the roof, giving the façade a new look by resurfacing the exterior.
• Integrating the outer stands into the façade of the building, thus gaining space on the pavement and recovering the two closed patios on the Carrer Mallorca side as public spaces.
• Creation of a new main entrance on Carrer Mallorca, with a large lobby with access to the market and/or the new shopping level (on the lower-ground floor) via ramps, steps and lifts.
• Excavation and two-level construction with room for between 80 and 90 parking spaces for market customers, loading and unloading of goods and storage units.
• The aim of these actions is to promote the dynamic character of the market and the reputation it has had throughout history as an important shopping centre.
