The Xunta opens the expropriation process for the Coristanco business park

The Ministry of Economy and Industry has initially approved and submitted for public information the compulsory expropriation project of the land, assets, and rights necessary to execute the business park of Coristanco (A Coruña). The decision is contained in a resolution dated September 2, 2026, from the General Directorate of Industrial Strategy and Business Land, published in the Official Gazette of Galicia (DOG) no. 185, of September 29, 2026, with the reference CVE-DOG: fod6m0l8-ppj2-g3l4-16c9-oulfcpe0wbl7. The public commercial company Xestión do Solo de Galicia-Xestur, S.A. acts as the beneficiary of the expropriation.

The file is processed through the joint appraisal procedure and derives from the final approval of the Structural Plan for the Management of Business Land (PEOSE) of the Coristanco business park, approved by the Council of the Xunta through Decree 19/2026, of February 23 (DOG no. 49, of March 13). The scope had already been delimited in the Sectoral Plan for the Management of Business Areas of Galicia (PSOAEG), approved by agreement of the Council of the Xunta on April 30, 2014 (DOG no. 101, of May 28). According to article 41.1.a) of Law 3/2022, of October 18, on business areas of Galicia, the approval of structural plans implies the declaration of public utility and the need for occupation of the affected assets and rights.

The expropriation applies to complete polygons, in accordance with article 43 of Law 3/2022 and articles 117.2 of Law 2/2016, of February 10, on the land of Galicia, and 290.2 of Decree 143/2016, of September 22. The expropriating Administration is the General Directorate of Industrial Strategy and Business Land, to which Decree 140/2024, of May 20, attributes the acquisition of land by any title, including compulsory expropriation.

Valuation of 500,957.91 euros and 77 properties

On August 13, the expert and the representative of the Administration were appointed; the expert Ramón Martínez Gómez values the total fair price of the project at 500,957.91 euros. The Business Land Planning and Management Service issued a favorable report on the action.
