Necochea Reactivates Casino Complex Auction

Argentina – June 2, 2026 – www.zonadeazar.com The Municipality of Necochea has officially confirmed June 10, 2026, as the new date for the public auction of the historic Casino Complex, one of the city’s most important tourism and real estate assets. The process resumes after a court ruling allowed the municipality to continue with the sale procedure.

Overview

The auction will take place on June 10 at 11:00 a.m. at the “Dr. Domingo J. Taraborelli” Hall inside the Municipal Palace.

Local authorities view the operation as a key step toward attracting investment and revitalising a strategic coastal area with strong tourism and economic potential.

Details / Context

The process was reactivated after the Administrative Appeals Court of Mar del Plata overturned a precautionary measure that had suspended the auction earlier this year.

Following the ruling, Mayor Arturo Rojas signed Decree No. 1729/26 authorising the continuation of the administrative procedure.

Municipal officials emphasised that the entire process has been conducted under transparency standards, including public notices, open access to documentation and legal oversight mechanisms.

A Historic Landmark on the Atlantic Coast

The Necochea Casino Complex opened in 1973 and became one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks, featuring a casino, theatre, bowling facilities, restaurants and entertainment venues.

Over time, structural deterioration, partial closures and several fires significantly affected the property’s operations and long-term viability.

Today, the site is widely viewed as a major redevelopment opportunity capable of attracting tourism, hospitality, entertainment and mixed-use investment projects.

Impact on the City

Municipal authorities argue that the auction could generate the conditions needed to restore a strategic urban area that has remained largely abandoned for years.

Beyond the real estate dimension, the project is closely linked to Necochea’s broader tourism development strategy and efforts to strengthen its position within Argentina’s coastal tourism market.

Investors, developers and local stakeholders are expected to closely monitor the auction process and the future proposals submitted for the site.

Future Outlook

With judicial approval secured, the municipality aims to move forward with what many consider one of the most significant redevelopment projects in the city’s recent history.

The June 10 auction may become a turning point for the future of the Casino Complex, potentially transforming an abandoned landmark into a major tourism and economic development hub for Argentina’s Atlantic coast.
