The first phase of the Hassan Centenary Terraces included three residential towers comprising the tallest building in Gibraltar. The second phase, also including three towers, is already underway.

Hassan Centenary Terraces is one of the most recent residential projects in Gibraltar and boasts a number of unique features: not only is it the tallest development in the region, standing at 110 metres, but it also features an evolving housing concept with the aim of enabling each family to build their home gradually and according to their possibilities.

Vicaima was chosen to equip the interior doors in the more than 600 homes that make up this six-building project. Vicaima is renowned for its innovation and customised response to interior door solutions, frames, wardrobes, panels and furniture pieces, and has a diverse portfolio of projects in the residential and school sectors in Gibraltar.

To provide appropriate response to the challenges of the Hassan Centenary Terraces, the interior of the apartments was fitted with the Portaro® solution, a set that integrates door, frame and accessories in a single piece. Available in a wide range of designs and finishes, this is one of Vicaima’s most widely used solutions in the many projects integrated worldwide, and which in 2024 celebrates 50 years since its launch.

In the common areas of the development, the integration of Portaro® FD30 and FD60 solutions ensures different levels of fire resistance, adapting to the specific requirements of these areas of intensive use. Certified by accredited international organisations, both solutions not only meet the requirements of protection and use in buildings prepared to house thousands of residents, but also reflect a commitment to quality. The versatility of these products is emphasised by the double leaf options and glazing, which let in natural light. The project also includes FD60 overpanels, providing fire resistance for up to 60 minutes.

In this project, the finish chosen was Dekordor® SD White, an option offering countless decorative possibilities, since it can be integrated with striking elements in a versatile way, whilst strictly complying with the multiple performances guaranteed by this solution.

As part of the Gibraltar Government’s affordable housing programme, the Hassan Centenary Terraces project is designed to meet the community’s housing needs with well-being and safety through sustainable construction. This is in line with Vicaima’s commitment, within the ESG (Environment, Social and Corporate Governance) criteria, towards contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations.
