Over a hundred years ago Roca settled in Gavà and Viladecans.

The family business drove growth and prosperity in these two municipalities.

It was there that the Roca community flourished.

Today we want to reaffirm our commitment to society and to these municipalities that are part of our history.

That’s why we want to give new life to this land.

To create a new open, inclusive, and accessible space.

That’s why today we are promoting
ROCA CITY: an urban regeneration project.

A new way of shaping a city

A new eco-district seamlessly integrated into the environment of both municipalities.

A space that brings together knowledge, innovation, and culture, improves mobility, increases housing availability and boosts economic activity.

And where Roca stays to continue promoting its sustainable development

How will
we do it?

Reusing the land

Following the principles of social, environmental and economic sustainability

Preserving our industrial architectural
heritage

Bringing nature back to the city with water from the streams

A sustainable urban model inspired by the same approach that has always guided our company:

enhancing people's lives,

caring for the planet

and fostering prosperity.

32 ha.
The goal is to turn 32 hectares of underused land into a cohesive, open, inclusive, and accessible space for everyone.
