• The company, in a joint venture with Gyocivil, has been awarded the €34.5 billion contract to build the facility
• 62The healthcare facility will provide services to the 25,000 residents of the northern part of the Madrid region, particularly older adults

Madrid, 7 July, 2026. Lantania is making steady progress on the construction of the new Sierra Norte Functional Recovery and Long-Term Care Hospital, located in the municipality of Lozoyuela, in the Madrid region. The project, commissioned by the Madrid Health Service (SERMAS), is being delivered by the infrastructure, water and energy group through a joint venture with Gyocivil. Once completed, the new healthcare facility will serve the 25,000 residents of the northern area of the region, with a particular focus on elderly patients. The contract is valued at €34.5 million.

The Regional Minister of Health of the Community of Madrid, Fátima Matute, and the Regional Minister of the Presidency, Miguel Ángel García Martín, visited the construction site today, accompanied by representatives of the Madrid Health Service (SERMAS), Lantania Chairman Federico Ávila, and José Alberto Carrasco, General Manager of Infrastructure and Building. More than 40 mayors from municipalities within the hospital’s catchment area also attended the visit.

The project is currently in its initial construction phase, with site preparation and foundation works well underway. Over the coming weeks, underground utility installations and construction of the building’s structural frame are scheduled to begin.

The new hospital will provide specialized rehabilitation services, nursing care and treatment for chronic patients, benefiting residents across the 42 municipalities of Madrid’s Sierra Norte area. The facility will have a gross floor area of 10,500 square meters and will be located next to the Lozoyuela emergency heliport, close to the A-1 motorway. It will comprise two parallel rectangular buildings separated by a landscaped garden. A separate building, connected to the main complex by an underground tunnel, will accommodate a base for the regional emergency medical service (SUMMA 112), together with a Home Care Unit.

The Sierra Norte Functional Recovery and Long-Term Care Hospital will provide approximately 100 inpatient beds. Patient rooms have been designed to create a warm, domestic environment that minimizes the traditional institutional appearance of healthcare facilities. The building has been designed to maximize natural daylight through large glazed openings.

Innovation and sustainability are central to the project’s design, incorporating advanced thermal insulation systems, LED lighting and intelligent HVAC systems to optimize energy efficiency. The main building will also feature a rainwater harvesting tank to collect and reuse rainwater for landscape irrigation.

The building envelope will feature a ventilated façade clad in natural stone sourced from quarries in the Madrid mountain range, or equivalent stone materials, combined with extensive glazing and curtain wall systems.

The project has been designed to achieve a Two Green Leaves rating under the Verde Building Certification 2022, a sustainability assessment scheme that recognizes best practices in sustainable construction. This certification reflects high standards of energy efficiency, responsible material selection and environmental performance. In addition, the project team is exploring measures to achieve the more demanding Four Green Leaves certification.

Lantania: more than 1,000 beds delivered across multiple healthcare projects

Lantania has extensive experience in the delivery of healthcare infrastructure, having completed projects providing more than 1,000 hospital beds. Among its flagship projects is the expansion of Guadalajara University Hospital for the Castilla-La Mancha Health Service (SESCAM), which doubled the hospital’s capacity from 382 to 771 beds. The company also provides maintenance services for two of Madrid’s leading hospitals: Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre and Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón.

Most recently, Lantania, in a joint venture with Guamar, was awarded the contract to build the future Proton Therapy Centre in Seville for the Andalusian Health Service (SAS). The new facility will be located within the Muñoz Cariñanos Hospital complex, formerly the city’s military hospital, and represents an investment of €20 million.
