Ihla Verde land plot reclaimed

The government has reclaimed another plot of land at Ihla Verda, on the southwest side of the Macau Peninsula, according to a February 5 dispatch signed by Secretary for Transport and Public Works Raimundo Rosário and published in the Official Gazette yesterday.
The land – occupying 980 square metres and located between Travessa do Laboratório and Canal Dos Patos Street – was supposed to be developed into a building with one ground floor with four storeys on top, for a car park and industrial purposes.
The government says that the reason for recovery is that the land grantee did not complete the building project that the site was zoned for within 25 years. The land was first granted on December 31, 1986.
The dispatch indicated that the land grantee has no rights to receive any compensation as the land belongs to the government. Nevertheless, the land grantee can still opt to take legal action.
