Servicio de primera consulta en Asesoramiento Fiscal y Administrativo-Legal

El pasado 14 de marzo, el Gobierno presentó en el Consejo de Ministros el informe elaborado por el Comité de Expertos, designado meses antes, para la reforma del Sistema Fiscal.

A grandes rasgos, podemos anunciar que la reforma se centra en una bajada de los impuestos directos, fundamentalmente el IRPF y el IS, que se deberá compensar con una futura subida de la tributación indirecta, cuando la situación económica permita bajar las cotizaciones sociales y con el establecimiento de nuevos impuestos medioambientales.

Abogan los expertos por la supresión del Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio y una nueva concepción del Impuesto sobre Sucesiones y Donaciones, que debería de tender, necesariamente, a su simplificación. Con esta nueva idea de ISD se pretende acabar con las desigualdades normativas entre Comunidades Autónomas, estableciendo límites máximos y mínimos donde pudiesen moverse las capacidades normativas autonómicas. La simplificación del Impuesto exige, por otro lado, ensanchar la base imponible y reducir los tipos de gravámenes, que en ningún caso deberían superar el 10%, así como suprimir reducciones y bonificaciones.

The company FERRATUR won the 213 award for Good Health & Safety Business Practices, organised by the Confederation of Business Associations of the Balearic Islands (CAEB). The award recognises the work carried out in work-site safety and the systematisation implemented by the company in terms of collective protection on all projects carried out by the company.

Ferratur Constructions is a pioneering company in the establishment of techniques to ensure construction workers’ safety, with tight supervision of the safety measures in place to ensure the physical integrity of all operators.

Since 2010 the CAEB has recognised companies that show commitment to workers’ health and safety. The other organisations to receive awards in 2013 were the San Joan de Deu hospital and the Grúas Mallorca crane company. Previous companies such as Meliá Hotels and Servicios Técnicos Portuarios have won the award, which is promoted by the Foundation for Health And Safety in the Workplace.

Coinciding with the 130th anniversary of Construcciones Ferrá Tur, our Marketing Manager Ana Ferrá was interviewed by Catherine López for the 2nd issue of the Style in Mallorca magazine in 2020. Ferrá, who is also a member of the 4th generation of our family company, offered its unique vision on our history, values and plans for the future. 

130 years of quality and innovation in construction in the Balearic Islands

Construcciones Ferrá Tur, the company that started our journey as Grupo Ferrá, was founded by the great-grandfather of Ana Ferrá in 1890. Ferrá comments on our beginnings in the construction sector in the Balearic Islands, stressing that “at the time, construction was a very artisanal trade within the masonry sector, which, as a consequence, required a great deal of manpower”. She also explains how, thanks to a customer base living in the old quarter and the construction of projects such as “the old GESA power plant and the neighbouring Gas factory allowed us to maintain a sizeable staff over many years”. 

The keys to our continuity

When asked how we have managed to overcome difficult times over the past 130 years, Ferrá clearly states that the diversification of our activity has been a key factor to ensure the continuity of Grupo Ferrá. 

Nowadays, and to quote Ferrá, “our portfolio ranges from the construction of luxury residences, as well as multi-family buildings with singular projects, hotel construction, maintenance, and renovation projects both large and small.” 

She also acknowledges the great work done by her ancestors, explaining that “each generation has contributed their efforts and dedication to maintaining our legacy”. 

In this line, she highlights the example set by her grandmother, Francisca Tur Torres, who “was widowed when my father was just 14 years old”, Ferrá explains, “and, without prior experience, but with the help of two works managers and an accountant, took the helm of the company, which at the time was a very brave step”. 

A first-rate management team and staff

Without a doubt, our team is another one of the elements that have contributed to the success and longevity of Grupo Ferrá. This is a fact that Ferrá emphasises throughout the entire interview and she reiterates it when stating that “our basic principles as a company are to focus on quality and safety, which can only be achieved with an outstanding professional team and, crucially, with the individual qualities and contributions that they bring”. 

Thus, she explains that: “Hiring a professional Management Team, together with our first-class staff, presently lead by Ferrá Tur’s General Manager, Antoni Gurrera, in close cooperation with the Family Council, and the experience gained over the years […] is what allows us to maintain our market position”. 

Grupo Ferrá in Ibiza 

When asked about future projects for the company’s development, Ferrá draws particular attention to the fact that “In the short run, we are planning to start ‘our operations in Ibiza’, which is a project especially close to my heart, given that my grandmother was from Ibiza”.

We have recently begun the construction of the XO Residences Palma residential complex for the developer Xojay Management SL. Designed by CMV Architects, XO Residences Palma offers 84 apartments distributed over 7 floors, as well as landscaped common areas in an inner courtyard and a swimming pool. 

This new luxury residential complex will be located in the Nou Llevant area, only metres away from the Convention Centre and the beach (Playa de Palma). 

Maximum Sustainability 

In addition to its outstanding architecture, the energy efficiency statement for the entire XO Residences Palma complex is rated at an A-grade. The use of a geothermal heating system is a must in this exclusive building project. The whole project will be executed meeting the highest design, comfort and sustainability standards and using high-quality materials.

Excellent Facilities and Services 

In such a first-class residential complex, common areas are an extension of the elegance, comfort and exclusivity offered by all residential units. On the rooftop there will be a shared swimming pool with chill-out area, surrounded by palm trees and vegetation that will enhance the complex’s elegance. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the fitness area offers sweeping sea views thanks to its glass wall. The spa area guarantees an ideal space in which to relax and enjoy a sauna or Turkish bath. 

Exclusivity, Luxury and Comfort at their best 

These are only some of the outstanding features that the XO Residences Palma project incorporates and to which Grupo Ferrá is proud to contribute by doing what we are best known for: building with quality, sustainability, and comfort always in mind. 

This residential development will be marketed through Engel & Völkers Mallorca Southwest.

At Grupo Ferra, we believe that one of the most enjoyable aspects of renovations is witnessing the transformation of spaces that we refurbish.

With an intervention area of approximately 10,203 m² the Ses Rotes Estate in Esporles required a full renovation and refurbishment of its farming facilities.

Now, after completion of the 1^st stage of this ambitious refurbishment project, we are pleased to present the current state of the ongoing transformation of this symbol of exclusivity for all horse riding lovers.

Renovated facilities and access

The riding arena now offers a newly built wooden roof that will facilitate learning and horse training throughout the year.

Burying all underground services will allow all overhead systems to be hidden, thus greatly improving their aesthetics. Another significant improvement concerns access to the estate, with the creation of new pathways with stabilised pavement. 

New horse riding spaces

Here you will find a video recorded by a drone so that you can see for yourself the work carried out in this stage.

We continue to work on the transformation

The Ses Rotes Estate offers 3 arenas (now one of them covered) and 22 hectares of forest with pathways prepared for horse riding. A project for the creation of a private riding club with high-performance horses and some spaces for students.

Given that the intervention area is so vast, executing the renovation in several stages is a key factor in order to guarantee the best results. This allows us to concentrate on the renovation and refurbishment processes, ensuring that we will not miss a single detail.

The first stage has been a complete success! We will continue working on the next stage of this renovation project, building a new wine cellar, and executing another project aimed at enhancing the estate’s exclusivity and private nature.

On 7 March, the XV^th edition of the Classic Rally will begin in Puerto Portals. This long-awaited event has been held for 14 years and year after year it has established itself as one of the most relevant events of its kind in Mallorca. 

This is the second edition of this competition in which Grupo Ferrá will be taking part, this year for the first time in cooperation with the real estate company Engel &Völkers, given that they are jointly sponsoring the pilot Nadal Galiana and hisco-driver Gabriel Flores, who compete in the race category behind the wheel oftheir 1976 Ford Escort Classic Car. This team is already a veteran of this rally, as they obtained the first position for all categories on the podium in the editions of 2013, 2014 and 2015.
