This offering presents a distinctive opportunity to acquire a substantial residential plot in the vibrant heart of Fuengirola, Málaga. Measuring 158 square metres, this cleared site is zoned for development, with existing permissions allowing for the construction of up to eleven apartments or a substantial single-family residence. Its strategic location ensures immediate access to urban amenities and the Mediterranean coastline, positioning it as a compelling proposition for developers and private buyers alike.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Situated within Fuengirola's established urban fabric, the plot benefits from proximity to essential services. It lies within a short walk of the sea, with multiple beaches easily accessible. This central positioning means that daily necessities, public transport, and leisure facilities are readily available without the need for extensive travel.
This plot caters to those seeking to develop custom residential properties or an investment in multi-unit housing. The flexibility in permitted construction allows for the creation of either a bespoke, large villa or a compact apartment complex designed to meet diverse market demands within a densely populated coastal town.
The plot is currently cleared and ready for development, designated as 'Gereed' or ready-build. This status implies that all preliminary zoning and land preparation requirements have been met, allowing for immediate commencement of design and construction phases upon acquisition.
This offering is exclusively for land, not a finished property. It does not include any existing structures, furnishings, or pre-designed architectural plans. The permitted build density and height will be subject to local planning regulations and may require further detailed applications.
This opportunity is suited for property developers looking to construct an apartment building in a proven residential market, capitalising on Fuengirola's consistent demand for housing. It also appeals to private individuals or investors with a vision to build a substantial villa tailored to their specific requirements, close to the sea and all urban conveniences. The plot's 'ready-build' status is advantageous for those seeking to commence a project without significant delays in land acquisition or initial planning. Furthermore, its proximity to transport links, including the airport and train station, makes it a consideration for projects aimed at either the holiday rental market or permanent residency for those who value accessibility.
As this is a land plot, specific details on the quality of finishing are not applicable until a construction project is undertaken. However, the zoning and urban context suggest that any future development would adhere to Spanish building regulations. The potential for constructing either a multi-unit residential building or a large villa implies that the scale of the future project could range from standard to high-end finishes, depending on the developer's or owner's investment and design choices. Future construction would likely incorporate modern materials and techniques to comply with current energy efficiency standards prevalent in the region.
The plot is offered at a price point of €1,000,000. As a single residential plot, availability is limited to this specific parcel. The price reflects its central location and development potential. Variations in potential future development costs, such as construction and permits, will influence the final project investment. The price is presented as a starting point for acquisition of the land itself.

Fuengirola offers a distinct urban coastal experience compared to some other Costa del Sol locations. While projects like 'Carat' and 'Core Higueron' in Fuengirola itself present completed or near-completed apartment buildings often starting around €800,000-€1,000,000 for smaller units, this plot represents a land acquisition opportunity. 'The Kos', also in Fuengirola, has prices from €1,120,000, suggesting the market values well-located new developments. Unlike plots in more secluded or mountainous areas that might offer larger land sizes or specific views, this Fuengirola plot prioritises immediate access to established infrastructure and services. Its price point of €1,000,000 for land is competitive for its central, developable nature, particularly when considering the potential for multiple units. This contrasts with perhaps Marbellas's Golden Mile where land prices are significantly higher, or more eastern Costa del Sol areas where development might face different regulatory landscapes or offer less dense urban amenities.
