Gomasper files for bankruptcy

[Janet]

Canarian construction company Gomasper has gone into receivership. The company is responsible for some of the most well-known and much-loved complexes in south Tenerife, including El Mirador and Dinastia in Los Cristianos, and the Parque Santiago complexes in Playa de las Américas. Gomasper will perhaps be one of the most familiar victims of the ongoing property crash, in which there is little sign of recovery despite official pronouncements that "things are looking up". JA

I'm surprised there are any large construction companies left in Spain. The clever ones got out of the business a while ago.

Probably got something to do with that massive shopping centre they just finished on the slip road next to the courts in Los Cristianos, the one with that really original name . . . . Parque Santiago Catorce.

Whoever is building that massive shopping centre next to Siam Park must be shitting themselves.

[Janet]

That wasn't Gomasper ... they did build at least PS1-4, maybe 5, but not 6, which is the CC. That's Santiago Sur.

I think the CC next to Siam Park is Grupo N1.

[El Profesor]

Didn't know that.
Do you know who's building the really really massive one by the Hiper Trebol in Adeje?

[Janet]

as far as I know, it's Ambrosio Jiménez Quintana

Where are all those shoppers going to come from?

[Myrtle Hogan-Lance]

I thought the plan was that they would arrive by ferry en masse from all over the Canaries.

Where are all those shoppers going to come from?

given the constructor, you think the end result, or the actual commercial viability, is a point of interest?
