Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens, Aby Upper in Estepona, and Alba Benalmadena, priced from €418,800, €320,000, and €699,000 respectively, this penthouse in Calahonda positions itself in a significantly higher price bracket, with a asking price of €1,575,000. This higher price point is justifiable due to its front-line beach location, expansive private terrace, recent full renovation, and sea views. While the comparable projects mentioned likely represent new build apartments in developing areas, this penthouse offers an existing, move-in ready property in an established location with direct access to amenities and the beach. The size of the property (170 m² living area plus 60 m² terrace) also contributes to its pricing compared to potentially smaller, newer apartments in Estepona and Benalmádena. The location in Calahonda, a popular coastal town with an urban character, distinguishes it from potentially more residential or golf-focused developments elsewhere on the Costa del Sol.
