Another Construction Plan in the drawer

The Bertolín Group, a Valencian company dedicated to construction, has delivered in due time and Valencia its Construction Plan for the New Stadium. There are detailed the implementation phases, materials and costs of each of the corners of the future Valencia field. But this Execution Plan, protected from public light by a confidentiality contract, will remain stored until further notice in a drawer in the Valencia offices. Another one. The fourth Work Execution Plan of many other redesigns that have been carried out since 2006 on the project of the architect Mark Fenwick.

Valencia, as its president had transmitted Anil Murthy, It had the intention of resuming the works of the new stadium, stopped since February 25, 2009, at the end of this June. Hence, the club requested Bertolín, who together with FCC it is part of the UTE (Temporary Business Union) in charge of building the new stadium from the origins of the project, which was given the Construction Plan. But now, despite having it in his possession, as has happened since the time of Vicente Soriano, Valencia lacks the necessary financing (around € 130M) to really execute the work. This time, the operation was pending and subject to the ADU Mediterráneo Cooperative acquiring the Mestalla plot, purchase-sale that was discarded on March 14.

Thus, Valencia adds another file to the accumulation of pages that it collects from the initial project it presented Juan Soler in 2006. Of that stadium that was initially held, only its model remains (it is exposed in the corridor of the fifth floor of offices) and the concrete skeleton on the Avenida de Cortes Valencianas.

In 2012, an operation called Newcoval, Manuel Llorente commissioned Aedifica, a redesign / redesign of Mark Fenwick's initial project. But Months later, Bankia stopped the business devised by Rodrigo Rato. A year later, in 2013, Amadeo Salvo commissioned a third redesign, this time again from Mark Fenwick, which reduced costs from € 160m to € 100m. But the same was lacking as in 2009 and now in 2020: financing to pay for a work that Valencia should have finished in 2023, the date on which according to the ATE, the current Mestalla must be demolished.
