The mayor of Siero, Ángel García, reported a new reservation of commercial land in the Industriegebiet Bobes on 29 August. According to him, the enquiry came from an Asturian company. The municipality views the move as a further sign of continued demand for plots in the extensive, fully serviced site in Asturias.
The announcement follows several recent developments. According to regional reports, two applications from Asturian companies covering a total of around 39,000 square metres had already been received on 22 August. A separate report on 29 August also announced a reservation of 14,468 square metres by a logistics company. According to the town hall and media reports, no final purchase contracts have yet been signed; for now, the steps concern the formal reservation of land.
Responsibility for the sale, allocation and marketing of the plots lies mainly with Sogepsa , the public-private company for land management and development in the Principality of Asturias. In recent months, the autonomous regional administration has completed procedures intended to enable the swift sale of further plots in Bobes . Municipal representatives see this as a framework that encourages current demand, but urge that applications be processed quickly.
Commercial development in Bobes has been the subject of extensive discussion in Siero for some time. The municipality points to potential jobs and investment that could accompany new projects. At the same time, road access to the area remains an issue, as additional uses could increase traffic on the access roads. Legal disputes and proceedings concerning individual large-scale projects in the vicinity of the park are continuing independently of the reservations now reported and could affect timetables.
According to the town hall, Siero supports companies in submitting the documents required for reservations. Sogepsa, meanwhile, continues to market the land. On Friday, those involved gave no specific details about the identity of the company making the new reservation or the exact boundaries of the plot. From the municipality’s perspective, however, the recent cluster of enquiries confirms that the market is responding to the offer in Bobes. Further decisions on sales and construction start dates depend on the conclusion of contracts and the approval procedures at regional level.
