No activity. After more than three years of abandonment in which the building has fallen into ruin, the old cinema Ideal has reopened its doors. And it has opened to let the workers coming in.
The rehabilitation of the facade of the old building of the Avenue of the Constitution have begun. It will cost 85,000 EUR and will include the complete renovation of the facade of the building. Further works include the strengthening of the internal structure of the building, yet to avoid crashes ornamental elements.
There is a lead time because the work of pre tastings can prolong or shorten the final time of the restoration, but local experts believe that the time is not less than four months and hope that either exceeds six. "Hopefully, the same sources say that Bonfires facade gleams like a San Luis and we can remove the scaffolding and the safety net."
The ownership of the property requested licensing a few weeks ago to begin the start of works. A license, which has apparently been granted this Monday.
The rehabilitation of the facade of the old cinema Ideal will force to occupy, and while continuously works, much of the sidewalk of Constitution Avenue will last, it will be a reduction of the pedestrian area in a busy area to prevent any type of incident or detachment of part of the facade.
After completing this assurance the building structure, listed as a protected building, it will only be left to know hits fate and ultimate use. The owners have not yet made public the future of the property, after several unpopular attempts as the possibility to house one macro club or an entertainment place.
Ancient Ideal cinema facilities have already fulfilled three years of neglect and closed to the public. It must also be remembered that the problems of maintenance and poor condition of the property began even before the former owners of the cinema closed its doors. The City Council has spent years ordering repair and small undertaking emergency repairs in the alternative and even closed the street Gunners at the risk of crash.
