The new Costco in Torrejón will occupy the site of the old The Village project
The land that the new one will occupy costco had a very different destiny a few years ago. In that same space it was going to be built The Villagea multi-brand outlet promoted by the French company Compagnie de Phalsbourg, with an approach similar to that of Las Rozas Village. The project was planned between 2018 and 2019, but the COVID-19 pandemic paralyzed the deadlines until the initiative was eventually scrapped and the company sold the plot.
The area acquired by costco is situated between the 40,000 and 60,000 square metersan extension that will be completed when the project obtains the necessary licenses and the final plans of the complex are published.

If the announced deadlines are met, costco will open in 2027 its sixth store in Spain and will reinforce its presence in one of the main commercial centers in the east of Madrid.
