Upper101 constitutes the inaugural residential development within Marbella West, a newly established district positioned between Nueva Andalucía and San Pedro de Alcántara. The project comprises 101 units ranging from studios to four-bedroom apartments, including penthouses with private pools. With a construction status currently underway and an indicative completion date of Q4 2027, the development aims to offer modern housing solutions in an urbanising environment. The location provides access to municipal facilities, educational institutions, and transport connections via the A7 and AP7 highways.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Situated in the emerging Marbella West district, the site benefits from proximity to both San Pedro de Alcántara and Nueva Andalucía. The A7 coastal road and AP7 toll motorway provide regional connectivity. Málaga Airport lies approximately 48 kilometres away, with a typical driving time of 40 minutes under normal traffic conditions. Puerto Banús is reachable within a short drive.
The development addresses requirements for contemporary urban living through open-plan layouts, integrated home automation systems, and pre-installed air conditioning. Outdoor space is provided via terraces, with penthouse units featuring private plunge pools. Communal facilities include a beach-style swimming pool, gym, and co-working lounge designed to support remote working arrangements.
Construction is currently in progress, with practical completion anticipated in Q4 2027. The project is subject to standard regulatory approvals and technical requirements common to new developments in the region. As with all construction timelines, the delivery date remains indicative and may be influenced by factors including material availability and permitting processes.
The property does not include furniture in the purchase price; interior finishes are governed by the quality specification document. At 84 m², the living area may present spatial constraints for households requiring extensive accommodation. Future development in the surrounding Marbella West district will continue beyond the delivery of individual units, potentially generating construction activity in the vicinity.

This development may align with the requirements of professionals or retirees seeking a lock-and-leave property with comprehensive on-site amenities. The inclusion of 24-hour security and a gated environment addresses concerns around safety and absence, relevant for those not permanently resident. The two-bedroom configuration suits couples, small families, or individuals requiring a guest room or home office. The co-working lounge and high-speed connectivity implied by modern home automation systems cater to remote workers dividing time between Spain and other jurisdictions. For investors, the Marbella West location offers exposure to a district undergoing infrastructural improvement and planned commercial development, including a future shopping centre and hotel. Those prioritising walkable access to daily necessities—pharmacies at 236 metres, supermarkets at 566 metres—will find the positioning practical. However, households with young children may wish to evaluate the proximity and suitability of the 41 primary schools in the broader Marbella area, with the British International School located 0.7 kilometres away. The 2027 delivery date requires a mid-term horizon, making this unsuitable for those seeking immediate occupancy.
Brochure documentation indicates a commitment to contemporary architectural expression and functional interior layouts. Kitchens are equipped with integrated appliances, though specific brands are detailed in the quality specification document rather than general marketing materials. Bathrooms incorporate materials and fittings selected for durability and aesthetic coherence. The thermal envelope benefits from double glazing, contributing to energy efficiency and acoustic insulation. Air conditioning is pre-installed, allowing occupants to regulate indoor climate across seasons. Home automation systems provide centralised control over lighting, climate, and potentially security functions, aligning with expectations for new-build properties in this price segment. External finishes adhere to the quality memory (memoria de calidades), a legally binding document that supersedes illustrative renderings. Purchasers are advised to review this document prior to contract commitment, as it defines the contractual standard for materials, colours, and equipment. The development includes underground parking and storage rooms, addressing practical needs for vehicle security and bulk storage. Electric vehicle charging points are noted in the communal infrastructure, reflecting adaptation to evolving transport preferences.
Pricing for units in this development commences at €499,000 for the specified two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse configuration with 84 m² of living space. This equates to approximately €5,940 per square metre. Comparable projects in the Marbella area include Nikki Living (from €450,000), Armonia (from €470,452), and Be Aloha (from €475,000), positioning Upper101 within the mid-to-upper segment of the new-build market in this locality. Availability is subject to the sales trajectory of the 101-unit development. Early-phase purchasers typically access a broader selection of orientations and floor plans, while later buyers face reduced choice but benefit from visible construction progress. Payment structures generally follow the industry standard for off-plan properties in Spain, involving reservation deposits, stage payments linked to construction milestones, and final settlement upon delivery.
Upper101 is positioned as a gateway to the Marbella West district, a planned urban extension designed to integrate residential, commercial, and leisure functions. The immediate environment is transitioning from undeveloped land to a structured neighbourhood with wide avenues and landscaped public spaces. Residents can anticipate a daily rhythm characterised by walkable access to pharmacies, supermarkets, and local eateries within a 600-metre radius. The presence of 30 restaurants and 5 cafés within a 2-kilometre catchment area supports diverse dining options without reliance on private transport for basic needs. The beach-style communal pool and rooftop solarium provide on-site leisure opportunities, reducing dependence on external facilities for relaxation. For those engaged in remote work, the co-working lounge offers an alternative to home office use. The 4.9% gradient to the nearest beach at Playa de Nagüeles represents a moderate incline, manageable for most able-bodied individuals but a consideration for those with mobility constraints. Evenings may be spent on terraces oriented towards the south-east and south-west, capturing afternoon and evening sun depending on unit position. The setting combines urban convenience with proximity to coastal recreation, suited to those valuing both accessibility and outdoor lifestyle elements.
Daily life in this location is supported by a density of services unusual for a developing district. Within a 2-kilometre radius, residents have access to 30 restaurants, 4 pharmacies, 4 banks, and 5 cafés, establishing a self-sufficient ecosystem for routine needs. The Hospital Costa del Sol and related healthcare facilities lie within 1.4 kilometres, providing medical infrastructure for both emergency and scheduled care. Educational provision includes 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools across Marbella, with the British International School situated 700 metres from the development, offering an English-language curriculum option. Sports and recreation are well-catered, with 415 facilities recorded in the municipality, including tennis and paddle clubs within 2 kilometres. The Rocódromo María Maestro climbing wall and Polideportivo Paco Cantos sports centre provide municipal options for active residents. The blend of private and public amenities creates redundancy, ensuring that essential and leisure services remain accessible even during peak tourist periods when coastal facilities experience elevated demand.
The map illustrates Upper101's position within the Marbella West district, situated between the established nuclei of San Pedro de Alcántara and Nueva Andalucía. Key reference points include Puerto Banús (east), the Golf Valley (north), and the Mediterranean coastline (south). Proximity to both the A7 coastal route and AP7 toll motorway is visible, clarifying regional connectivity.
Marbella West represents the western expansion of Marbella's urban footprint, positioned strategically between the consolidated residential areas of Nueva Andalucía and the municipal boundary with Estepona. This location offers proximity to Marbella's centre without the density and traffic of the established tourist core. San Pedro de Alcántara, a former agricultural settlement, has evolved into a year-round residential area with a full complement of services, schools, and commercial infrastructure. The area benefits from its situation on the coastal side of the A7, avoiding the isolation of inland developments while maintaining separation from the highway corridor. Regional positioning provides balanced access to both Marbella's amenities and the emerging western Costa del Sol, including Estepona and the Sotogrande luxury enclave.
The development's position between Nueva Andalucía and San Pedro de Alcántara creates equidistant access to both established commercial centres. Puerto Banús, with its marina, designer retail, and nightlife, lies approximately 2 minutes by car. The Puente Romano resort, known for its beach clubs and restaurants, is reachable in 8 minutes. Marbella's historic Old Town, with its administrative services and traditional commerce, requires a 10-minute drive. Beach access is provided at Playa de Nagüeles (0.7 km) and Playa de San Pedro (1.6 km), both within comfortable cycling or walking distance for able individuals. Golfers can access Magna Marbella Golf (2.0 km), Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.4 km), and Aloha Golf, all situated in the Golf Valley of Nueva Andalucía. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is 48 kilometres by road, with the journey typically completed in 40 minutes via the AP7 toll road or A7 coastal route. Gibraltar Airport (GIB) lies 56 kilometres to the south-west, offering an alternative departure point for UK-bound travellers.

Marbella's climate is characterised by an average annual temperature of 19°C, with historical averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The municipality records approximately 3,716 sunshine hours annually, one of the highest figures in mainland Spain. The swimming season extends for approximately 5 months, during which sea temperatures exceed 20°C. The development sits at an elevation of 41 metres above sea level, sufficient to provide modest ventilation from coastal breezes while remaining accessible on foot to the shoreline. The 4.9% gradient to the beach represents a moderate slope, unlikely to deter regular walkers but a factor for those with reduced mobility. The surrounding landscape includes views towards the Sierra Blanca mountain range, visible from upper floors and the rooftop solarium. Vegetation in communal gardens follows Mediterranean principles, employing drought-tolerant species adapted to the regional rainfall pattern, which concentrates in the winter months. The microclimate supports outdoor living for most of the year, with terraces designed to extend interior space during spring, autumn, and the milder winter periods.

Playa de San Pedro (1.6 km) provides a more extensive stretch of sand backed by a renovated promenade. For golf enthusiasts, the development sits within 2.4 kilometres of Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and Magna Marbella Golf, both ranked among the Costa del Sol's premier courses. The Golf Valley in Nueva Andalucía hosts additional courses including Los Naranjos and Aloha, creating a concentration of options within a 10-minute drive. Water sports and marina facilities are available at Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen (2.6 km) and Puerto Deportivo José Banús (3.9 km), the latter accommodating superyachts and offering berths for transient vessels. The combination of beach, golf, and marina access within a compact radius supports a leisure-oriented lifestyle.

Upper101 enters a competitive landscape of new-build developments in the San Pedro de Alcántara and Nueva Andalucía micro-markets. Comparable projects include Nikki Living (from €450,000), Armonia (from €470,452), and Be Aloha (from €475,000), all targeting the mid-to-upper segment of the second-home and investment market. Where Upper101 differentiates itself is in the scale of communal amenities: the combination of a beach-style ground-floor pool, rooftop infinity pool, gym with spa, and co-working lounge exceeds the typical offering for projects in this price bracket. The Marbella West location is less established than the Golden Mile or central Marbella, which may affect perception among buyers prioritising immediate prestige. However, the district benefits from planned infrastructure investment, including a municipal shopping centre and a luxury hotel, which may enhance future value. For buyers weighing Upper101 against alternatives, key variables include tolerance for a developing neighbourhood, the importance of on-site leisure facilities, and the preference for proximity to San Pedro de Alcántara versus Nueva Andalucía's Golf Valley. Each adjacent area offers distinct advantages: Nueva Andalucía for golf concentration, San Pedro for year-round residential character, and Puerto Banús for marina-adjacent luxury. Upper101 occupies a middle ground, positioned to serve all three without being exclusively defined by any single attribute.
