The La Merced residential development, delivered by Urceman Group, is located in the heart of Gernika-Lumo, at 3 San Bartolomé Street. Completed in 2014, the scheme comprises 16 homes, together with parking spaces and commercial units, creating a building that combines residential living with urban activity in a well-established setting.

La Merced is a smaller-scale development focused on quality, functionality and seamless integration within the existing urban fabric. Key features include:

Functional homes designed to meet contemporary living needs.
Private parking spaces, providing added convenience in a central location.
Ground-floor commercial units that contribute to the vitality of the surrounding area.
Lift access throughout the building, ensuring accessibility.
Architecture carefully integrated into the local streetscape and urban character.

The project reflects Urceman Group’s approach to delivering well-located residential developments where construction quality and a strong relationship with the surrounding environment are equally important.
