Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, offering apartments from €418,800 and €320,000 respectively, this landholding occupies a distinctly different market segment. The focus here is on land development with a significantly larger scale and diverse application potential, rather than the sale of finished residences. Alba Benalmadena, with prices starting at €699,000, also offers completed homes but in a location further from the immediate coastline than La Duquesa. This specific land parcel stands out due to its unique combination of land size, its specific sports zone designation, and its proximity to both the marina and natural beaches. While other projects concentrate on existing or new-build apartments, this property presents an opportunity for large-scale, bespoke development, justifying its €1,994,000 price point. It is an offering for developers or investors who recognize the value in transforming a substantial plot with a special designation.
