1968

During that time in Barcelona there were almost no more trams left. The garages for these trams were being used as a deposit for all sorts of vehicles that were not working properly. The Compañía de Tranvías de Barcelona (Tram Company) decided to sell these garages in order to build houses instead. Mr. Forcadell dealt the purchase of the garages located in the Gràcia neighborhood, in the block surrounded by the streets

Bruniquer, Sant LLuis, Joan Blanques and Torrent de Les Flors. This project, which provided for two floors for underground parking for vehicles plus 20 stores and 128 homes with limited income, was built and sold in 4 years. Undoubtedly, it was the most important residential development promotion the company had carried out and it gave Forcadell a decisive boost as a developer.
