Who Owns the Apartments? When Companies and Funds Buy Up Mallorca

Answer

Why is housing pressure especially noticeable in Palma neighborhoods like Santa Catalina and Passeig Mallorca?

In central Palma, demand is high and the housing stock is limited, so changes in ownership are felt quickly. If more apartments are bought for investment, locals may notice fewer long-term rental options and higher costs. That makes everyday life in neighborhoods like Santa Catalina or around Passeig Mallorca feel less stable for residents.
