Old Prison in Palma: From Cells to Apartments — Who Benefits?

Answer

How sustainable is the renovation plan for the old prison in Palma?

Sustainability is a key point: old buildings have robust cores but energy losses; sustainable renovation is more expensive but can lower utility costs and CO2 emissions in the long run. Government or EU grants could help, provided funding is applied for and documented openly. Without clear sustainability commitments, tenants may bear higher costs.
