This residential development is situated in the Campanillas district of Málaga, specifically within the emerging Cortijo Merino neighbourhood. The project comprises 165 residences distributed across five floors, featuring apartment layouts ranging from one to four bedrooms. The design prioritises energy efficiency, holding an A Energy Rating and targeting BREEAM certification. With a completion date scheduled for the first quarter of 2027, the site is currently under construction. The location is characterised by its proximity to the Andalusian Technology Park and the university, placing it within a functional urban environment rather than a traditional coastal resort setting.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is located inland in the Campanillas district, approximately 11 kilometres from Málaga city centre. The site is positioned near major business hubs, including the Andalusian Technology Park (PTA). It lies at an elevation of 46 metres above sea level. The immediate surroundings are urban, with essential services and public transport stops within a short distance.
The apartments are designed to maximise natural light through dual orientations. Units include open-plan kitchens and multipurpose rooms. Communal areas consist of garden zones and swimming pools. The inclusion of storage rooms and garage parking addresses practical storage requirements. The architectural plan includes ground floors with gardens, mid-level floors with terraces, and penthouses with solariums to accommodate different preferences for outdoor space.
Construction is currently ongoing, with an indicative delivery set for the first quarter of 2027. The development spans a total area of 7,722 square metres. Technical specifications include thermally broken carpentry, double-glazed windows, and heat recovery systems. The structure will incorporate photovoltaic solar panels and is planned to function as a renewable energy producer, aiming for a high level of energy autonomy.
The development is not located on the coastline; the nearest beaches are approximately 10 kilometres away. It is not situated in a secluded natural area but within an expanding urban district. The project does not offer direct beach access or private gardens for all units, as garden access is limited to ground-floor residences. The orientation is specified as East for this specific unit type.
This situation suits professionals seeking proximity to Málaga’s business and technology hubs without residing in the dense city centre. The location near the Andalusian Technology Park (PTA) and the university makes it relevant for academics, researchers, or tech sector employees who wish to minimise their daily commute. The availability of multiple bedroom configurations also accommodates families requiring access to the local educational network, which includes numerous primary and secondary schools. The property is also suitable for buyers prioritising energy efficiency and modern building standards, given its A Energy Rating and BREEAM certification goals. Those looking for a secondary residence with easy airport access, given the 7.4-kilometre distance, may find the logistics convenient, provided they accept the need for a car or public transport to reach the coast. It fits individuals who prefer a residential environment over a holiday resort atmosphere, offering a base that functions year-round rather than seasonally.
The construction places a strong emphasis on technical performance and sustainability standards. The façade utilises a lightweight system designed to improve thermal insulation. Windows are fitted with double glazing and thermally broken carpentry to reduce thermal bridging and enhance acoustic insulation. A mechanical heat recovery system is installed to optimise air quality and minimise heat loss, contributing to the A Energy Rating. Kitchens are fully fitted and designed on an open-plan basis to integrate with living areas. The apartments are delivered part-furnished, including built-in wardrobes, which provides storage while allowing residents to personalise the soft furnishings. Flooring and sanitary ware are selected for durability and maintenance ease, consistent with contemporary residential standards. Communal areas are finished with landscaping that prioritises water efficiency, utilising plant species adapted to the local climate. The inclusion of smart mailboxes and electric vehicle charging points reflects a focus on modern urban infrastructure. Technical installations, such as air conditioning and central heating, are pre-installed to ensure climate control throughout the year.
The listed price for a two-bedroom apartment starts from €450,450. The development encompasses a range of property sizes, from approximately 60 to 193 square metres, which implies a variation in total cost based on the specific layout and floor level. Ground floor units with gardens and penthouses with solariums typically command different price points compared to mid-level apartments. The inclusion of a garage space and storage room is factored into the property's value. Prices are subject to market conditions at the time of reservation.
Living in Campanillas offers an experience centred on urban connectivity and convenience rather than seaside leisure. The area is a functional district of Málaga, characterised by its integration with the city's technological and educational sectors. Daily life here involves proximity to the Andalusian Technology Park and the university, making it a practical location for professionals working in these sectors. The neighbourhood is developing rapidly, with new infrastructure and residential zones like Cortijo Merino transforming the former periphery into a modern residential extension. For residents, the rhythm is defined by easy access to Málaga city centre, which is a short drive or train ride away, providing access to a wider range of cultural and culinary amenities. The immediate vicinity offers local supermarkets, pharmacies, and restaurants, reducing the need for long commutes for daily necessities. The presence of 15 primary schools and 5 secondary schools within the broader district indicates a family-oriented infrastructure. While the Mediterranean Sea is visible only by travelling to the coast, the inland position means the area is less affected by the high-season tourism traffic that characterises the coastal resorts. The climate remains mild, with high annual sunshine hours, allowing for the use of the communal swimming pools and terraces for a significant portion of the year. The environment is one of a modern, expanding suburbia, focusing on residential efficiency and business integration.
The environment is defined by its urban structure and connectivity. The immediate area is serviced by 10 public transport lines, with 50 stops providing links to the wider Málaga network. The Campanillas train station, located 2.9 kilometres away, offers regional connections. For international travel, Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 7.4 kilometres away, a significant logistical advantage for frequent flyers. Road infrastructure allows for access to the A-7 motorway, facilitating travel to Marbella (39 km) or Granada (98 km). Daily necessities are covered by nearby supermarkets, banks, and health centres. The broader district is equipped with sports facilities, including the Campo de Fútbol Municipal de Campanillas and several gyms, located within a 1.5-kilometre radius. While the immediate vicinity is developing, the established Teatinos district is adjacent, offering additional commercial and leisure options. The area is not pedestrianised in the manner of a historic old town, requiring a reliance on vehicular transport or the bus network for broader mobility.
The map highlights the position in Campanillas, distinct from the coastal cluster. Note the proximity to the Technology Park (PTA) and the airport. The layout shows the accessibility to the A-7 motorway for exploring the Andalusian hinterland or reaching the port of Málaga. The location represents a practical choice for those balancing city work with suburban living.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Campanillas serves as a north-western access point to the city of Málaga. It acts as a buffer zone between the urban sprawl of the capital and the agricultural lands of the Guadalhorce valley. Its position is strategic relative to the airport and the technology park. It lies west of Teatinos and north of the Carretera de Cádiz (A-7) industrial corridor. This places the development outside the main tourist axis of the Costa del Sol, which is concentrated further south-west towards Torremolinos and Marbella.
The nearest coastal beaches, including Playa de la Misericordia, are located approximately 10 kilometres from the site. Access to the shoreline requires a drive of roughly 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic. The city centre of Málaga is 11 kilometres away. Málaga Airport is situated 7.4 kilometres to the south, making it one of the closest residential developments to the terminal complex. Golf facilities are accessible, with Club de Golf de Guadalhorce being the closest at 4.0 kilometres. Other courses such as Lauro Golf and Club de Golf Málaga Parador are within an 11 to 12-kilometre range. The Andalusia Tech train station is 5.2 kilometres away, providing high-speed rail connections.

The location sits at an elevation of 46 metres above sea level on generally flat terrain, typical of the Guadalhorce valley area. The climate is classified as Mediterranean, with an average annual temperature of 18.8°C. Historical data indicates approximately 3,867 hours of sunshine per year. Temperatures range from an average low of 12°C in winter to highs of 27°C in summer. The inland position results in slightly lower humidity levels compared to the immediate coast, though the difference is marginal at this distance. The swimming season in the region lasts approximately six months, usually from May to October, when water temperatures exceed 20°C. The orientation of the specific apartment unit is East, which captures morning sunlight but requires shading solutions during the hotter summer afternoons. Precipitation is concentrated in the winter months, with the area being dry for the majority of the year.

While the project is inland, the coastline is within a manageable distance for recreational visits. Playa de la Misericordia is the nearest beach, stretching along the western side of Málaga. This area holds Blue Flag status, indicating high water quality and managed facilities. The beach is approximately 10 kilometres away, allowing for regular visits without necessitating a permanent relocation to the coast. Golf is a prominent activity in the vicinity. Club de Golf de Guadalhorce, located 4 kilometres away, offers an 18-hole course. This proximity allows for golfing activities without extensive travel. For broader recreational needs, the district provides municipal sports centres and public swimming pools, such as Piscina Municipal Colmenarejo. The development itself includes communal gardens and swimming pools, serving as the primary leisure space for residents. The surrounding urban fabric includes parks and green zones, with the larger Zafarraya or Montes de Málaga natural parks requiring a longer drive to reach.

Compared to coastal developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar or Lantana Residencial in Mijas, this project in Campanillas is positioned at a significantly lower price point per square metre, despite the larger apartment sizes. While coastal projects command premiums for sea views and beach proximity, this development offers value through its functional integration with Málaga’s economic infrastructure. It differs from traditional expat enclaves like Estepona (Etherna Homes 2) by being situated in a local, working district rather than a tourist-oriented zone. The property prices reflect the inland location; the starting price of €450,450 for a 122 m² unit provides a higher volume of living space than what is typically found at similar prices in Marbella or the historic centre of Málaga. However, the lifestyle trade-off is the distance from the sea and the lack of a 'holiday resort' atmosphere. In contrast to the new developments in Teatinos, which are closer to the university, this project offers a slightly more removed but still connected environment, often with newer urban planning standards. It represents a 'city fringe' market, distinct from the purely urban apartments of the centre or the purely rural villas of the interior.
