Madrid is always changing and continually evolving as it embraces the future. With new projects on the horizon that promise to enhance connectivity and elevate its appeal, the Spanish City is looking forward to remaining a dynamic destination with constructions and renovations planned for the next 10 years. Starting with the renovation of the Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, which is the main international airport serving Madrid, that will get an ampliation of terminals 4 and 5, and the construction of a new building in front of terminals 1, 2 and 3, as well as a general remodeling of its installation. This change aims to increase the capacity of the airport by 28% to make it the biggest hub with a capacity of serving 90 million passengers. The project will cost 2,400 million euros and is the largest investment in a decade for airport infrastructure in Spain.
Also, the Madrid airport will be more accessible with the AVE, a train that will connect the station Madrid Chamartín Clara Campoamor with Barajas in only 10 minutes. The investment of 18.6 million euros will update equipment in a new connection of 8.8 kilometers, facilitating direct access to the airport from the country's high-speed rail corridors. On the other hand, Madrid Nuevo Norte, formerly known as Operación Chamartín is another of the city’s big projects, also considered the largest one in Europe to transform more than 2 million square meters, including housing, offices, stores, a Central Park and more.
Madrid is forever evolving. Transforming. Towards a brighter and better tomorrow
The investment will take more than 17 billion euros and will have an estimated economic impact of 52 billion euros. The first homes are expected to be finished by 2026 or 2027, and offices to operate by 2028. The City will also extend line 3 of the Subway by more than 33 kilometers to unite the southeast with the north east of Madrid. The extension is planned to be finished by 2030. Trains will reach Getafe and connect it with Puerta del Sol in a 30-minute journey. The project will benefit more than one million people in Getafe.
Regarding sports, a new race circuit will be built for the return of the Grand Prix Spain in 2026. According to the government, the circuit, with a design of 5.47 km and 20 curves, is expected to attract more than 140,000 spectators in its fifth year, generating estimated annual revenues of 450 million euros for Madrid and creating more than 8,200 direct jobs.
