Kategora, a Basque developer with 20 years of experience, launches Kora Mostra, its first project in Barcelona—one of the world’s most attractive cities for tourism and business. Located in L’Hospitalet, a rapidly growing district and a hub for new cultural and business investments, this flexible accommodation complex combines innovative design, sustainability, and a strategic location next to the Avenida Carrilet metro station—connected to the city center in 10–25 minutes—and close to the Fira de Barcelona exhibition center.
Kora Mostra will feature 253 apartments and more than 2,000 m² of communal areas, where art, culture, and design are integrated into every detail to reflect Barcelona’s identity and emerging artistic trends. The project is being marketed by Kategora under its usual horizontal division hotel model, with an estimated net return of 7% for end buyers and prices starting from €205,000 per apartment.
The building, designed by the renowned Barcelona-based studio ABAA Arquitectura, stands out for its avant-garde architecture, while the interior design—by Tres Cinco Uno—draws inspiration from urban Mediterranean style and the area’s industrial heritage. The landscaping, led by the AELAND group, will serve as a bridge between the surroundings and the interior spaces. «Kora Mostra will be a meeting point between tradition and modernity, promoting the art, culture, and local customs of L’Hospitalet through a unique, functional, and sustainable design,» says Kepa Apraiz, CEO and founder of Kategora Real Estate and Kora Living.
Kora Mostra will not only offer a unique experience for its guests, but also an exceptional opportunity for investors. Located in a city that is a global leader in tourism, the complex holds a hotel license, providing legal certainty and operational stability in a particularly demanding regulatory environment, characterized by restrictions on new licenses and increased control over tourist accommodation.
The complex combines the comfort of urban Flex Living with spaces dedicated to relaxation, gastronomy, work, idea exchange, and areas specifically designed to foster local culture. Its communal areas include a restaurant, a rooftop with a pool, a gym, coworking spaces, and creative areas such as an adaptable lounge cabin for music rehearsals, podcast recording, workshops, or conferences. In addition, Kora Mostra will feature multiple indoor and outdoor spaces designed for events and cultural presentations, creating environments where all forms of cultural expression—such as sculpture, music, or gastronomy—can thrive. This approach positions Kora Mostra as an accommodation concept that enriches the cultural landscape of an emerging district.
With 50% of the apartments already sold, the opening of Kora Mostra is scheduled for 2028. Prices for the remaining units start from €205,000, and the Basque company estimates an annual net return of around 7% for its investors. Backed by the success of operational projects such as Kora Green City (Vitoria-Gasteiz), Kora Nivaria Beach (Tenerife), Kora Kiliki (Pamplona), Kora Tigot (Tenerife), and Kora Lluna (Valencia), Kora Mostra is positioned as one of the most attractive assets in Kategora’s portfolio.
With two decades of experience and a portfolio of 21 complexes across three countries, Kategora Real Estate offers fully professionalized 360º management, developing and operating innovative accommodation solutions under three lines: Beach, Urban, and Flex.
Kora Mostra, part of the latter, is positioned as a secure investment opportunity in Barcelona—a strategic hub for flexible accommodation—leveraging the dynamism of a globally leading city. With a portfolio of more than 1,300 private investors supported through comprehensive guidance throughout the entire investment cycle, the Basque developer continues to consolidate its leadership in the living sector, combining innovation, sustainability, and design in every project.
