Since the beginning of the project the refurbishment of over 60% of the industrial land has been started, under 88 plans for urban amelioration. Said projects will result in obtaining over 2.445.393 m2 of over ground GFS for new production facilities, social housing, facilities and technical services.     

The real estate sector has decisively supported the Project: 55 of the 88 plans approved are promoted by the private sector, of which planning permission has been granted to build 468.459 m2 of over ground GFS for production activities.
 
The 22@Barcelona project has likewise been warmly received, according to a research carried out by the University of Barcelona in December 2007, by the business community: 1.063 firms have already established in the 22@Barcelona district or are in the process of building their corporate HQs there. More than 50% of the companies that have moved to the 22@Barcelona district since 2001 belong to one of the four strategic 22@Barcelona sectors: media, ITC, MedTech or energy.

As a result, the number of people working in Poblenou has risen significantly.  There are currently 31,962 new workers and that number is predicted to reach 150,000.
