Get to know Los Cerros
future green oasis of Madrid.
Los Cerros, the latest urban development in the southeast area of Madrid, has a total area of 4.7 million square meters, including the construction of 14,276 homes with the largest area of public green space in the capital: 1.7 million square meters of nature, surpassing the well-known Retiro Park.
The future green oasis of Madrid, located between Cañaveral and San Fernando de Henares, showcases the current natural spaces that surround it: El Cerro de la Herradura, the Vega del Río Jarama and the Municipal Metropolitan Forest Project.
LOCATION
It is located in the southeast of Madrid within the district of Vicálvaro. It is bordered to the north by the municipalities of Coslada and San Fernando de Henares, to the south by the R3 toll highway, to the west by El Cañaveral and to the east by the protected area of Cerro de la Herradura, which after the reforestation foreseen in the project will become an urban forest park.
SUSTAINABILITY
The low level of new construction, only 12%, and the 170 hectares of green areas will help to reduce CO2 emissions and position Los Cerros as a sustainable development that is committed to the environment. The existing green areas will be enhanced, bicycle use will be promoted by incorporating bike lanes on all roads in the district, and pedestrian pathways will be created to promote sustainable mobility
MOBILITY
It has direct access to the M-45, incorporating a collector road, access to the M-203 and M-206, with the anticipated future arrival of public transport that will offer easy access to all parts of the city. It also has access to the R3 highway.
