The Council of the Government meeting in plenary on January 26, 2023 decided to authorize the sale by direct settlement of the building called the Golden Gate Building.
The sale will take place through the Regional Directorate of Heritage.
The Executive authorised the conclusion of the respective sale and purchase contract with the company VERSINTEMPORAL, Lda. for the overall value of € 7,060,175.00 (seven million sixty thousand and one hundred and seventy-five euros).
The Regional Secretary of Finance was mandated to, in representation of the Autonomous Region of Madeira, sign the respective contract.
The sale by direct negotiation was adopted because the public auction market was deserted in previous attempts to sell.
