The strength of this project is that the property is undervalued because of its current state. The building in the street Carrer de Topete is between newer, renovated buildings and on a not even 1-minute walking distance around the corner accompanied by a centre with different restaurants, shops, a supermarket, and a green park. Also, the university hospital is located on 5 minutes walking distance the other direction. The spacious 90 square meter apartment is ready to be completely transformed with the My Blue Bricks formula in which you walk in and never wanting to leave again, or being able to picture yourself living there with your family. Walking through the apartment with our contractors and architect, we are considering to convert part of the roof of the flat into a sunny terrace. We added photos from the outside of the building to give you an idea of how that could look like.

The project is going to be a fix and flip project. Meaning that we are going to buy, then renovate, and then sell the apartment. For the fix and flip concept, our investment community can participate in two ways:

• Via a variable contract: You are investing in the project and getting your investment plus interest back after completion of the project. Your return is based on the final selling price of the property, or in other words, the successfulness of the project, with a minimum of 5% guaranteed. From the ROI there will be a 15% My Blue Bricks commission subtracted. See the details below in the Investment Results Prediction part.
• Via a fixed contract: You are investing in the project and getting your investment plus 5% guaranteed interest back after 8 months. This return is fixed. No matter the successfulness of the project, the investor will receive his or her initial investment plus ROI back after 8 months. In this setup, there will be no My Blue Bricks commission subtracted.

Terrassa, one of the two biggest cities in the ‘El Vallès’ region next to Sabadell, is having a population of 216.428 inhabitants. Taking the train from the famous central square Plaza Catalunya in Barcelona to the ‘El Vallès’ region, you will be first be passing by Sant Cugat, and then Rubi, before reaching Terrassa. The city is at a distance of 20 kilometres from Barcelona and located at 277 meters above sea level, in between the mountains and the natural reserve of Sant Llorenç del Munt. For the ones who have ever been to Barcelona and like hiking, they will recognise the name Montserrat which is also relatively close to Terrassa at 18 kilometres distance. A lot of people from the big city Barcelona are choosing to live in one of the surrounding cities (based on multiple considerations such as a part of the family living there already and/or housing prices), to escape the busyness and high real estate prices. Terrassa is a city on itself, in which when compared to its surrounding cities, Terrassa is less wealthy than Sant Cugat, but appears a bit more ‘family-friendly’ than Rubi. In the last centuries, Terrassa is known for its Roman history and its wool fabric companies during the 19th Industrial Revolution century. Both characteristics can be seen at multiple locations throughout the city.

Some more features of the city: it has the biggest hospital outside of Barcelona and the city centre is composed by nice pedetrian streets with a lot of shops.
