2 Zaragoza Alta Velocidad is a public company created in 2002 by the three Spanish public administrations: Ministry for Public Works, Regional Government of Aragon and the City Council of Zaragoza to manage the development and urban transformation of the railway soils and infrastructure of the city. The arrival of the high speed railway train, called AVE, to the city in 2003 from Madrid, and the subsequent arrivals to the high speed train to cities like Malaga, in 2007, Barcelona in 2008, Valencia in 2010 and Alicante in 2013, established Zaragoza in the center of the modern railway communications between the main cities of Spain. At the moment, the distance to these cities are 80 minutes to Madrid, 90 minutes to Barcelona, 3 hours to Valencia and 4 hours to Seville and Malaga. The construction of the new intermodal station in the former railway platform, a modern building containing also offices and a hotel, gave the opportunity to the city to create a new urban area and business district, closing the scar existing between the different neighborhoods of Almozara and Delicias.

3 Also, gave the opportunity to create a new area of public spaces in the area of the former railway station, too small to be the new intermodal station, called El Portillo, in the city centre. Master Plan The Master Plan of the city divided this huge urban development in three areas: G-44-2 for the surroundings of the intermodal Station, G-19-1 for the area or the former railway station in El Portillo, and an area in former railway barracks, in Avenida de Navarra, 72. The stats of these three areas: Area G-44-2: Surface: m² (236,73 acres) Residential uses: m² Non residential uses (retail, offices, hotels): dwellings m2 Area G-19-1: Surface: m² (22,33 acres) Residential uses: m² Non residential uses (retail, offices, hotels): 220 dwellings m2 Avenida de Navarra, nº 72: Surface: m² (2,57 acres) Residential uses: m² Non residential uses (retail, offices, hotels): 285 dwellings m2
