Spanish term or phrase: vivienda de protección concertada
Hello!

Not too sure about this one. This is about a private and public housing project in Spain. In this part of the text, it simply gives a little physical description about the land itself and then lists the units that will be built on it.

- 49 viviendas serán de Promoción Pública
- 115 viviendas de protección autonómica
- ***121 viviendas de protección concertada***
- 175 viviendas libres

As always, I am very grateful for your help. ;-)

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Lucy, but I believe your description actually fits the "viviendas de promoción pública", if I am not mistaken. For the "viviendas de protección concertada", they put a cap on the housing prices so that the homes are accessible to middle-income folks who otherwise cannot afford housing in the private sector/free-market, but who do not qualify for low-income housing.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  John Rawlins: Yes, the government gives the developer a low-cost loan and the buyer is obliged to accept 'black money' if he wishes to sell within a certain period.

  -> Thanks John, I think subsidised housing would fit, as I accept the point about the difference between VPO and VPO concertada, but i would argue they are both subsidised.

subsidised middle-class(-income) housing development


Explanation:


A new type of VPO was created (vivienda concertada).
This type of VPO is especially orientated towards middle-class-income families who do not qualify for help under the normal VPO conditions but who cannot afford to access the free market housing either.

Asker: Lo siento, pero al final, creo que "price-controlled housing" era lo más apropriado. Muchísimas gracias por tu ayuda. ;-)
