The Nuevo Quilmes Dos proposal includes a direct descent from the motorway, as well as a second entrance located 1,000 meters from Miter Street. This dual connectivity makes the project a very attractive place for those looking for security, nature and proximity to major urban centres.

The future of public works under blended financing

The decision taken in Quilmes is a clear example of how local administration is adapting to the new reality of national public works. As the federal state withdraws from the vast majority of businesses, provincial and municipal governments are forced to innovate in their financing strategies so as not to stall the progress of their jurisdictions.

The model implemented in Quilmes, where private development bears the cost of major infrastructure works that positively impact the area, could mark the beginning of a blended finance trend in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. This type of urban planning agreement allows the public treasury to be relieved of a significant cost, while ensuring that new developments compensate for their regional impact through tangible improvements and benefits beyond their borders. Thus, the new freeway ramp in Ezpeleta, financed by Nuevo Quilmes Dos, is expected to serve as a case study on the feasibility and effectiveness of cooperation between real estate developers and the municipal state.
