Regional Comparison

Compared to the presented projects in Estepona and Benalmádena, such as Acqua Gardens (from €418,800), Aby Upper (from €320,000), and Alba Benalmádena (from €699,000), this penthouse is positioned in a higher price bracket. This is justified by its prime location in Málaga's historic center, its penthouse status, and the high-quality, recent renovation. The projects in Estepona appear to focus more on new constructions with communal facilities in coastal areas, with a significantly lower entry price. Alba Benalmádena also commands a higher price, but its focus is on a different coastal location. This penthouse stands out due to its urban, cultural, and historical context, combined with direct beach proximity, offering a unique mix less common than projects in more residential or tourist zones of the Costa del Sol. The price of €1,164,000 is therefore indicative of an exclusive property with an exceptional location and finish in a major coastal city.
