Building in Castellar del Vallès, Passivhaus at the foot of Sant Llorenç del Munt
Twenty-four thousand inhabitants, plots with varied topography and a privileged natural setting in the Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac natural park. We have the K-Cim case in the municipality and K-Matadepera fifteen kilometres away.
Why build in Castellar del Vallès now
Castellar del Vallès is a town of close to twenty-four thousand inhabitants with a stable residential profile and sustained expansion in detached single-family sectors. Its proximity to Sabadell and Terrassa offers quick access to health, education and retail services, while the municipality keeps a calmer character.
The differentiating factor is direct contact with the Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac natural park, in the same logic of environmental quality as Matadepera. Areas such as Plana del Pomer, Aiguafonda or Sant Feliu del Racó allow projects with a generous programme and good orientations.
PAPIK Group has a direct case in Castellar (K-Cim) and consolidated cases across the Vallès Occidental. Our site logistics in the comarca are well established.

Residential areas of the municipality
CASTELLAR CENTRE concentrates multi-family homes between party walls and consolidated single-family homes, with an active retail fabric. PLANA DEL POMER is a single-family residential sector with medium and large plots, gentle topography and good orientation. AIGUAFONDA is low-rise residential with large plots and a more rural character, often with consolidated tree cover. SANT FELIU DEL RACÓ is the nucleus most linked to the natural park, with projects that call for careful landscape integration and a programme coherent with the setting.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work regularly in Castellar del Vallès?
Yes. We have a direct case in the municipality (K-Cim) and several projects in the comarca: K-Matadepera, K-Gorgs and others. We work regularly in the Vallès Occidental.
What minimum plot does the Town Council require in Castellar?
It depends on the area. For detached single-family homes usually between 500 and 1,000 m². In the sectors bordering protected land the size tends to be larger. The specific planning record defines the exact parameter.
How does proximity to the Sant Llorenç del Munt natural park affect things?
Bordering sectors may have volumetric and finish restrictions, and in some cases a favourable report from the park Consortium is required. Working with a team that knows these conditions saves months of processing.
How long does a building permit take in Castellar?
The resolution usually takes between 6 and 14 weeks from the complete submission. There may be an extension if sectoral consultations on heritage or the natural environment are involved.
Can you build Passivhaus on sloping plots?
Yes. Several of our cases in the Vallès Occidental have a significant slope, K-Cim included. The Passivhaus and Eskimohaus systems adapt to varied topographies without penalising performance.
