Excavators and construction crews have moved onto the Turianova site in Valencia as work begins on Infinity, a commercial complex valued at €500 million. Next to Hospital La Fe and bordered by the V-30 and V-31 highways, the development is planned as an urban hub for shopping and dining, with space for entertainment and business.
The initial phase focuses on leveling and preparing the land. It is a visible sign that Infinity has moved beyond planning and into active development. Its location near major transport arteries is expected to draw visitors from across Valencia and its metropolitan area, bolstering the city’s role as a regional commercial center.
Project Revived by New Ownership
Infinity’s path to construction has been lengthy, shaped by administrative approvals and changes in ownership. The Generalitat Valenciana approved the development in early 2021, followed by a municipal building permit in July 2024. In August 2025, General de Galerías Comerciales, controlled by businessman Tomás Olivo, acquired the project from AQ Acentor for approximately €60 million. The transaction included the commercial and construction licenses, as well as an additional 20,000 square meters for tertiary uses.
A report published by El Inmobiliario mes a mes put the project’s estimated investment at roughly €400 million and its gross leasable area at about 92,000 square meters. Those figures are separate from the €500 million valuation attached to the overall complex. The ownership transfer marked a impressive step in the project’s revival, placing it under a company with an established presence in Spain’s shopping-centre sector.
What Infinity Will Offer
Once completed, Infinity is planned to feature around 92,000 square meters of leasable retail space, more than 220 shops and nearly 4,000 parking spaces. The complex will devote impressive space to food and beverage outlets, including cafés. Full-service restaurants and other culinary concepts are also planned. Its open, multi-level design will include landscaped promenades and plazas, along with gardens and water features.
Entertainment is central to the project’s vision. Plans include an artificial wave pool and an urban beach club. Climbing walls and virtual-reality zones are also on the list, alongside escape rooms and gaming areas. A gym and family attractions are planned, too. A hotel and office spaces are also planned, positioning Infinity as a destination that brings shopping and recreation together with business.
Timeline and Urban Impact
Construction is expected to take about two years, with the opening scheduled for 2028, provided each phase progresses as planned. The start of work is a basic moment for Turianova, a growing residential district that stands to benefit from new amenities and better connectivity.
Infinity will enter a competitive metropolitan retail market. Bonaire, one of the area’s established commercial and leisure destinations, is also looking at expansion: a 2026 report by 20minutos said its owner, Castellana Properties, was studying a possible 10,000-square-meter addition for retail and leisure. The plans place Infinity in a market where existing centres are also seeking to broaden their offer.
Infinity’s focus on leisure and attractions reflects a broader trend in Spain’s retail sector, where shopping centres compete by offering experiences beyond shopping. The recent debut of Europe’s only water coaster near Madrid, covered in this report on the Kilauea attraction, highlights how destination retail is developing to meet changing consumer expectations.
