Paramount Press Conference
Thursday, 10 February 2011 15:07

paramountThe Paramount theme park in Murcia was officially confirmed this week with a press conference held on Monday, 7th February 2011.

 

It has been officially confirmed that an option has been agreed to purchase 1,716,000 square metres of land, comprising of 15 adjacent lots, for €15.6m. The land is currently owned by Infraestructura Terrestre S.A.; Desarrollo Antrade S.A; Sierra de Alhama Golf Resort S.A.; Gispafruit S.L., and SAT Cancarín. It is near the intersection of the RM2 and RM23 motorways.

The option is for one year, and should no money change hands by this point, the option will lapse. Jesús Samper of Proyectos Emblemáticos, which is behind the project, said there were different zoning classifications on the land, which could take 12 to 15 months to adjust, and estimated that the park would be up and running in approximately four years time.

At the same press conference, Pedro Cruz, the Consejero for Tourism and Culture said the park hoped to attract 4.5 million visitors a year.

Work has also resumed on the new Murcia City (Corvera) airport, which had fallen 10 months behind schedule due to funding problems. This, in conjunction with the Paramount announcement, is good news for the area, according to Ignacio Osle, Sales & Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey de España. He told OPP: “rental occupancy should definitely show an increase after the opening of the airport although it is very hard to state hard figures in a market like this.”

He added: "The Paramount Studios theme park will bring many jobs to the area … and the investment in our local infrastructure of €555.7 million will ensure that by the time the park opens its doors there will be enough airlines and high speed rail links in the area to serve a theme park of this magnitude. We are very confident that this will bring further wealth to the area - not to mention greater opportunities for our home owners. “
