MARINA PORT VALENCIA

FOUR MARINAS IN ONE: THE PROPOSAL THAT AIMS TO MAKE A MARK IN THE PORT OF VALENCIA’S ENVIRONMENT

In May 2024, the Port Authority of Valencia revealed the winning project for the adaptation and operation of the nautical-sports facilities in the northern area of the Port of Valencia. The winning project is led by Marina Port Valencia, an alliance formed by SEMAR and OCIBAR, two highly experienced leaders in Mediterranean nautical projects. This initiative aims to be a milestone not only in the nautical industry but also across the city’s tourism, social, economic, cultural, and sustainable sectors in both Valencia and the Valencian Community.

ERRE is working to develop a comprehensive and integrative proposal that will create new spaces capable of accommodating a variety of uses, surrounded by truly sustainable and innovative landscaping. With this project, Valencia continues to establish itself as a unique city—an evolving destination preparing to open up to the world, ushering in a new era of development, prestige, and international recognition.

A STRATEGIC PROJECT FOR THE FUTURE OF VALENCIA AND THE COMMUNITY

La Marina de Valencia, a nautical space with a privileged location, will be revitalized in a cutting-edge way. Its spaces will be optimized both on land and at sea, creating a socio-economic development engine for the city and the Community. The proposal aims to reorganize, optimize, and improve the quality of services provided to users and vessels, focusing on two main areas: the water surface and the land area. This proposal integrates and continues the project initiated in 2015 by Marina de Empresas, the largest entrepreneurial and innovation hub in the Mediterranean, which will attract investors, high-level commercial projects, and new leisure and entertainment offerings that will captivate both locals and visitors from around the world. The common goal of the entire intervention has not only been to transform the physical landscape of the harbor but also to strengthen its role as a gateway to innovation and modernity in the Mediterranean.

THE PERFECT LINK BETWEEN THE PORT AND THE CITY

The project aims to bring the port closer to the city so that it is perceived as an integrated part of Valencia’s urban fabric. It is a proposal that structures the territory and ensures a model integration between port and city — respectful of its surroundings and conceived as a space where nautical activity coexists harmoniously with the city and tourism, creating a powerful socio-economic development engine for both Valencia and the wider Community.

The intervention proposes the design of mixed-use buildings capable of hosting productive activities while providing value-added services that respond to both local and tourist expectations. The Marina Port Valencia proposal includes offices thoughtfully designed and fully equipped to offer an ideal environment for work and coworking, as well as restaurants, retail spaces, and leisure areas that will energize the Marina and transform it into a unique and desirable destination.

The project presented by Marina Port Valencia will enable the creation of first-class nautical and sports facilities that will enhance the services offered to users and visitors. It will also strengthen the connection with the city, allowing citizens to enjoy its facilities through the promotion of nautical and cultural activities — while generating high-quality employment. Moreover, it will position Valencia as a key reference point in the Mediterranean, through a new and promising space for the Valencian Community.
