Murcia WILL Get Its Paramount Theme Park -- Mercers Ltd

March 7, 2012 - PRLog -- This morning Proyectos Emblematicos Murcianos SA (PREMURSA), the promoter behind Murcia’s Paramount Theme Park and LifeStyle Centre, signed the contract to complete the purchase of two-thirds of the land earmarked for the project. At a cost of 10.3 million euros for 1,031,077m², this transaction is a significant milestone in the progress of this much anticipated leisure attraction.

Chris Mercer, Director of estate agent Mercers which is based ten minutes drive from the Theme Park, comments, “In this time of negative reporting, particularly with reference to Spain’s economic tribulations, it is so refreshing to have some ultra positive news to share. After many months of waiting it now looks as though we have been right to have had faith in, and publicised, the ongoing Paramount Park saga. This Theme Park is going to transform our corner of Murcia and, as the closest estate agent geographically with 28 years experience in the Region, we’re already becoming the first port of call for serious investors looking to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity. Imagine being lucky enough to have purchased a home right next to Walt Disney World or Universal Studios before they started building - the potential is enormous. Murcia has always offered incredible value for money but now with the Paramount Theme Park confirmed for just up the road, I very much doubt that there is another location in Spain that will offer same rental returns and capital appreciation.”

After signing the deeds, PREMURSA’s President Jesus Samper said that today's events were "an important and necessary step for this great project which represents Paramount's first Theme Park and LifeStyle Centre in Europe, a large cultural, business and leisure complex." He announced that by late May the first symbolic stone would be laid and construction begin to break ground.

PREMURSA’s official signing was initially down for February but experienced a minor stutter when some of the land was found to not be free of charges and debts, a legal requirement for purchase to go ahead. Even with a month’s postponement to today’s date, Samper has been unable to take control of the entire plot as the remaining third, some 550,000m² from a different vendor, still did not meet notary requirements. However, Samper insists he is not concerned for the project as the Park itself occupies an area of just less than one million square metres, an amount now in PREMURSA’s possession, and in any case he hopes to reach an agreement on the final plot of land when all legal inconsistencies have been ironed out.

Officially presented in October last year in Madrid, the Paramount project requires an investment of more than one billion euros but will create no less than 22,600 construction and operational jobs and hopes to attract upwards of three million visitors each year from around the world. The Theme Park will be divided into four areas to include two themed hotels whilst the LifeStyle Centre will count seven hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, shopping mall, casino and a business district with modern office space, an auditorium and convention centre. PREMURSA has been granted the license to construct and operate the Theme Park, exclusively in Spain, for an extendable 30 year period. The economic impact of the project could make up 2% of the Region’s GDP in forthcoming years. The Theme Park and first phase of the LifeStyle Centre is expected to be open to the public by mid 2015.

Mercers has property for sale within minutes of the Theme Park and priced from as little as 50,000 euros for a two bedroom house (approx £41,740 GBP). Contact Mercers on 00 34 968 199 188, UK Local Rate 0845 017 7805, email sales@spanishproperty.co.uk or visit www.spanishproperty.co.uk .
