  • The Madrid Ciudad de la Justicia , a long-awaited major project, will transform judicial administration in the Community of Madrid by bringing the 26 court locations currently spread across the capital into one modern, efficient complex. This ambitious centre is expected to attract around 33,000 professionals and members of the public daily, centralise more than 370 judicial bodies and accommodate thousands of civil servants, prosecutors and judges.
  • Its construction will improve resources and the operation of the justice system, while generating significant public savings by eliminating the high rental costs of existing premises. Its innovative design, with green roofs and abundant natural light, aims to create a more accessible, welcoming and energy-efficient environment, positioning Madrid as an international reference for judicial infrastructure.
  • The impact of Ciudad de la Justicia on Valdebebas will be particularly significant and positive. The strategic location of this major complex in the neighbourhood will reinforce its role as a key hub in northern Madrid and boost its urban and economic development.
  • The daily arrival of thousands of professionals and members of the public will stimulate local shops, services and hospitality, creating new business and employment opportunities. Improvements to transport infrastructure, such as the future Metro Line 11 which will connect Valdebebas directly with Barajas Airport (T4) and the city centre, will improve access to Ciudad de la Justicia and further integrate it into Madrid's transport network.
  • This project represents a milestone for Valdebebas, raising its profile and attracting investment. By bringing judicial activities together, the neighbourhood will become a centre of professional and administrative activity, which may in turn increase demand for housing and high-quality services.
  • Ciudad de la Justicia is more than judicial infrastructure: it is a catalyst for Valdebebas's growth and modernisation, strengthening its position within Madrid.
