The crowdfunding platform wecity has issued the closing report for the fundraising round intended for the acquisition of plot RMC-11.2 of the Reparcelling Project of Sector UZPp 02.03 «Desarrollo del Este - Los Ahijones», in Madrid, on which a development of 18 public-protection homes (VPPL) under a cooperative regime will be built. The operation, structured through a fixed-rate mortgage loan to the cooperative Atlas Nuevos Desarrollos S. Coop. Mad, managed by Co-óptima, has concluded its subscription process consolidating an amount raised of €920,000, the entirety of the planned amount. Investors should keep in mind that any reference to return is inseparable from the corresponding risk, which is described below.

The campaign completed its €920,000 target in a period of 13 minutes. The analysis of the flow of contributions during that interval records an average contribution ratio of €70,769 per minute.

Financial Terms of the Operation

The loan amounts to €920,000, with a fixed annual interest rate of 11% and a total estimated return of 16.50%; this estimate is subject to investment risk and is not guaranteed. The purpose of the loan is the land acquisition, the term is 18 months, extendable by an additional 6 months, with a 3-month lock-up period and interest paid at maturity. The minimum investment was €500 per user, with no maximum limit. The exit for wecity investors is expected through the payments on account committed by the cooperative members and/or the entry of bank financing. In compliance with the European regulatory framework, non-experienced investors have a four-calendar-day pre-contractual reflection period during which they may revoke their commitment at no cost and without justification.

Asset Description, Planning Progress and Commercial Traction

The asset is a plot with a total area of 634.61 m² and a built area of 1,822.82 m², located in the Los Ahijones area, in the southeast of Madrid, with access to the M-45 and R-3. On it, a development of 18 VPPL homes with two and three bedrooms will be built, with terrace, garage, storage room, pool and green areas. On the planning side, the land is in Stage II of the urbanization of Los Ahijones and it is estimated that the simultaneity of the urbanization and building works will be granted in the third quarter of 2027. On the commercial side, the cooperative has allocated all the homes (18 of 18). It should be noted that the timeline depends on the granting of that simultaneity, expected in 2027, and that repayment is linked to the contributions of the cooperative members or to the entry of bank financing.

Capital Structure, Coverage Ratios and Collateral

The cooperative has contributed equity of €1,021,349.15, allocated to the acquisition of the asset, against the wecity loan of €920,000.

The manager of the cooperative is COOPTIMA Servicios Inmobiliarios, S.L., a consultancy with more than 25 years of experience in the residential sector and in the cooperative development model, which according to the platform has previously financed five projects through wecity, of which two have been repaid and the other three are progressing within the established term.
