Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot is located in Las Chapas, an area known for its urban character and proximity to amenities, including shops and healthcare within walking distance. Its position just 2.2 km (as the crow flies) from Playa de San Andrés ensures coastal access, while the proximity to Málaga Airport (7.2 km) guarantees international accessibility.
This plot is suitable for developing various functions, such as leisure facilities, sports centers, schools, or healthcare institutions. The possibility of social housing, subject to specific conditions, opens up additional perspectives for developers focused on affordable housing.
The plot is currently designated as 'private facility land' (suelo dotacional). The building possibilities offer flexibility for development. Recent legislative changes (Decree-Law 1/2025) allow for its use in social housing initiatives, enhancing the strategic value of the land, dependent on the need for public facilities.
This is a building plot without existing structures. Its specific designation as 'private facility land' focuses its use on particular purposes. Development for uses other than those specifically permitted or regulated is not possible without a change in designation.
This plot is an attractive option for developers focusing on urban real estate development with specific social or commercial objectives. It is suitable for projects that benefit from the high density of amenities and excellent accessibility, such as developing a sports complex, an educational institution, or a healthcare facility. The recent legal amendment enabling social housing also attracts parties seeing an opportunity to contribute to affordable housing in the Málaga region. Investors looking for a project with potential in a vibrant coastal area will appreciate the strategic location and development flexibility.
As this is a building plot, it does not have a finished quality or construction standard in the traditional sense. The building possibilities are defined by the zoning plan: a maximum buildability of 0.5 sqm/sqm and a maximum building height of ground floor plus three levels. This provides developers with design freedom within the established frameworks. The nature of the development will determine the materials and techniques ultimately used, in compliance with local building codes and the specific requirements of the intended use.
The plot is offered at €800,000. Given its size of 3,990 sqm and specific development potential, this price reflects the location's value. The price is influenced by its urban setting, proximity to amenities, and the flexibility in zoning regulations, including the recent possibility for social housing. This makes it an investment opportunity with varied potential project applications.
Las Chapas positions this plot within a dynamic urban setting near Málaga's coast. The immediate proximity of essential amenities, such as a supermarket just 93 meters away and a pharmacy at 108 meters, significantly facilitates daily life. The location is further enhanced by sports centers less than a kilometer away and schools within a 2 km radius. The area boasts 89 hotels and offers a vibrant atmosphere, partly due to 294 restaurants within 2 km. The average annual temperature of 19.0°C and 3,890 annual sunshine hours invite an outdoor lifestyle, while the flat gradient towards the coast (1.0%) and proximity to beaches like Playa de San Andrés (2.2 km) contribute to a coastal-oriented lifestyle.
