Since 1965, Serra has evolved with the values of its founder, always maintaining the commitment and passion for doing things well.
The values of Grup Serra are and have been the same as those that Josep Antoni Serra Alsina made his own, under the endearing character of Lalo.
Solidarity with those most in need, the courage to make a parody in times of dictatorship, the conviction that each small action is not just something that can be done, but rather something that makes the world a better place… gave him the impetus to found Serra in 1965.
We could tell you a thousand more stories and milestones… We have grown, we have added new offices, we have sponsored sports clubs and cultural initiatives, we have participated in TV programs, we have acquired companies… In short: we have walked a path of many successes, some failures and countless learnings.
Year after year, Lalo's nonconformist, restless and supportive character has accompanied us every step of the way, helping us to become who we are today: Serra Grup Immobiliari.
In 1965, Serra began managing communities from the first office at 26 Rambla Principal, led by Manuel-Sergi Serra M. Peñaranda, thanks to the trust of a group of local residents, which entrusted him with the financial management of a group of communities located in the Sant Joan and Maritime districts. Until then, Serra's main activity was more focused on administrative management under the guidance of Francisco Serra Guiu.
In the year 1967, The City Council approved the first General Urban Development Plan affecting the Ribes Roges sector. The typological change from garden city developments to higher density constructions caused the demolition of some existing chalets in the area. The economic and administrative management of each of the new communities that were built during the following years and that had to face the urbanization costs was entrusted to Serra and since then, it has been a reference in the administration of communities in Vilanova i la Geltrú and, specifically, in the Ribes Roges sector.
