Haim Tsuff Acquires Correos Building in Málaga for €23.5 Million

Haim Tsuff Acquires Correos Building in Málaga for €23.5 Million
2 December 2019 – Haim Tsuff, the president of the Israeli petroleum firm Isramco, was the sole bidder at an auction for the Correos building in Málaga, paying 23,555,180 euros for the property, well above the base price of €16.8 million. The government of Andalusia auctioned a total of 22 properties valued at 47 million euros. Tsuff acquired the asset through Nitsba Spain, which is based in Barcelona. The asset failed to attract other bidders due to zoning limitations. The property is zoned for public and social interest services. The permitted uses under the local zoning plan (PGOU) include homes for the elderly, student residences and care facilities for children. The building’s new owner could potentially request a change in the zoning for the asset, to convert it into a hotel or offices. Nitsba would be required to compensate the government for the change by ceding nearby plots of land to the government for future use.
