What is comprehensive urban development?

It is the end-to-end coordination of the full lifecycle that transforms raw land into a marketable development: due diligence, land ownership strategy, compensation boards when applicable, site servicing infrastructure, land reallocation, licences, construction and sales. At Sky Real Estate, it is managed by a single team supported by Sky Law whenever legal expertise is required.

How does this differ from a traditional urban planning consultancy?

Many firms focus solely on technical and legal administration (compensation boards, reallocation, infrastructure). We add land consolidation, strategic lifecycle direction and final sales through the Sky Real Estate network, plus ICI D-286 if buyers require financing.

What is a Compensation Board (*Junta de Compensación*)?

It is a private administrative body uniting landowners within a development sector when the execution system is based on compensation. It manages bylaws, acting rules, infrastructure servicing and the distribution of planning yield under local planning authority oversight. We drive its formation and management whenever required.

Why is urban planning due diligence critical?

Because land conveys statutory planning duties and, in compensation sectors, there may be infrastructure levies and encumbrances that do not show as a mortgage on a standard Land Registry extract (*nota simple*). We analyse planning status, building potential, risks and estimated costs before making decisions.

Do you operate across all of Spain?

Planning legislation is regional and each sector has its own acting local authority. We assess every case and clearly confirm if we can lead the project in your area. Sky Real Estate operates offices in Madrid, Mallorca, Valencia and Zaragoza for commercial operations.

Do you also market and sell the development at the end?

Yes. When the project is ready, we design the commercial strategy, marketing, buyer generation, reservations and conveyancing through to final signing. Developing land is just the start; turning it into a profitable investment is the goal.

Does Sky Law participate in the process?

When the project demands it, Sky Law (the group's in-house law firm, awarded European Legal Awards in Real Estate Law 2023–2025) reinforces legal certainty during negotiations, board governance, notary signings and land registry entries.
