multifamily (holiday) developments/residences/properties/accommodation

Explanation:
Multifamily is definitely the term used. If you look at 'google' with multifamily, property, etc. you will see thousands of examples. This is referring to the permit for the construction of different types of properties.

apartment [?]

Explanation:
As a noun, multifamiliar, most often "multifamiliares" in Mexico refers to large govenment-built low-cost housing. Likewise in some other countries.
This is presumably Spain, but is it possible that "condominio" refers to ownership form, and "multifamiliar" refers to use, i.e., hotel or family apartments? In other words, authorization is being given to a wide range of potential uses. Proper translation will depend not just on the terms but on what is going on.
