“We already have the buildings in Ciudad Creativa filled with companies and universities; Now with the tenders for housing and mixed uses that the master plan proposed to us, we believe that it is time to review the master plan together with the business and academic sector and redefine what can be done with the three properties that we still have ”, Antonio Salazar Gómez, the president of the Ciudad Creativa Digital Trust, told El Economista.

“We are interested in attracting another university specialized in creative industries to strengthen the ecosystem, also building another complex to attract more companies; in fact, the resources obtained from the bidding of the properties will go, one, for reinvestment in public works in the area, another, to have more spaces for creatives and, another is to generate support funds for the creative sector ", explained.
