This project in Las Chapas, Málaga, offers a unique combination of a substantial 9,720 m² plot with an existing 220 m² office building. Located in an urban coastal setting, the site is characterized by its immediate access to local amenities. The plot features a 117-meter frontage directly onto the A7 motorway, providing exceptional visibility. This setting is particularly suitable for commercial endeavors, given the zoning allowances for private parks, hospitality, and sports activities.
Compared to residential projects like Arosa in Mijas or Astra Homes in Fuengirola, this Las Chapas property offers a different value profile. Where comparable projects focus on housing with prices around €400,000 - €700,000, this project presents a commercial investment price of €4,000,000. The comparison leans more towards land speculation in the urban ring of Málaga. The unique selling point is the combination of plot size (nearly 1 hectare) and commercial zoning options just 2 kilometers from the coast. Large plots with this specific road frontage are rare in the region.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated within walking distance of essential daily provisions, including a supermarket at 93 m and a pharmacy at 108 m. Its position in Las Chapas allows for direct connectivity to surrounding cities via the A7. Despite the commercial nature of the site, the extensive land area allows for significant private garden space.
This property does not fulfill standard residential wishes but offers a specific solution for business establishment or development. Featuring 5 office spaces, 2 meeting rooms, and marble flooring, the building is functionally designed for commercial operations. The inclusion of air conditioning and an alarm system adds to the operational efficiency and security.
While a building exists, the potential lies in the redevelopment opportunities within the current zoning plan. The cadastral plot allows for expansion up to a maximum of 20% occupancy, with specific conditions for hospitality uses. The current structure is in 'excellent' condition, available for immediate use or renovation.
This is not a residential plot for a private home but a commercial estate with specific usage restrictions. The maximum buildable area is legally capped at 20% of the plot surface, limiting construction scope. The location on the A7 motorway implies traffic noise and activity, making it less suitable for quiet residential purposes.
This project suits investors or entrepreneurs seeking a headquarters or commercial service location in Málaga. The positioning is ideal for businesses valuing visibility along the A7 and quick access to the airport (7.2 km). It is also relevant for developers seeing potential in transforming the building into a gym, cultural center, or small-scale hospitality venue, within the 'Private Parks and Gardens' permit limits.
The current construction features functional finishes focused on durability and a professional appearance. The marble floors offer a cool surface suitable for the climate and require low maintenance. The building includes air conditioning (hot and cold) and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. The structure comprises a large reception area with a waiting room and security via an alarm system. The technical condition is rated as excellent.
The asking price for this plot including the building is set at €4,000,000. This represents a fixed investment for a unique asset of this size and location. Given the commercial possibilities and the physical dimensions of the land, the cost represents an investment in real estate with development potential.
The site is defined by its dynamic, commercial character with a direct link to the regional traffic network. The daily reality here is one of accessibility and business focus. With 3,890 sun hours and an average temperature of 19°C, the location combines commercial functionality with the Andalusian climate. The immediate surroundings are urbanized; one can walk to a supermarket or pharmacy, yet the presence of the highway is constant. It is a location for those prioritizing visibility and connectivity over secluded tranquility.
The direct environment is pragmatic and functional. Within a 1 km radius, one finds a hospital and various dining options (5 restaurants), indicating an active, service-oriented area. The proximity to the beach (Playa de San Andrés at 2.2 km) means recreational options are nearby for employees or visitors. Mobility is high; a car is practical for longer distances, but daily needs can be met on foot.
The map shows the strategic positioning of the plot along the A7, with direct access to Málaga Center and the airport. Green zones around the plot indicate the permitted garden/park designation, contrasting with the surrounding urban fabric.
Las Chapas acts as a connector between central Málaga and the eastern coastal municipalities. The position is strategic: one is quickly in the city but retains the space of the periphery. Compared to denser central neighborhoods, this location offers suburban space with city infrastructure.
The location offers exceptional accessibility. Málaga Airport is just 7.2 km away (as the crow flies), facilitating international business travel. The coastline is close, with the beaches of Malagueta and San Andrés at 2.6 km and 2.2 km respectively. For golf enthusiasts, three courses are nearby, including Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 8.0 km. Public transport stops and an EV charging point are within 300 meters.

The plot sits at 70 meters above sea level, providing a breeze and panoramic views. With a historical average of 3,890 sun hours and a 6-month swimming season, outdoor living is feasible for much of the year. The garden offers space for greenery, but the environment is predominantly urban and traffic-oriented.

Although primarily commercial, the location provides access to the Costa del Sol's recreational offerings. Playa de San Andrés is at 2.2 km, and slightly further are Malagueta and Misericordia beaches. Nearby golf courses offer sports recreation. The nearly 10,000 m² of land allows for on-site facilities like sports or private gardens, compliant with regulations.
