This property consists of a stately 18th-century building located in the Historic Centre of Málaga. With a built area of 1,388 m² on a 343 m² plot, it offers significant space for transformation. The location is central, within walking distance of cultural amenities and the city center. The building requires a complete refurbishment and comes with an existing architectural proposal for 18 residential units.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in the core of Málaga's Historic Centre. This location offers direct access to urban amenities. The area is characterized by narrow streets and historic architecture typical of the old town. The position is central relative to the cultural heart of the city.
This project focuses on redevelopment. An existing architectural study outlines the creation of multiple dwelling units, varying in size. The configuration is suitable for permanent living or rental purposes. The building offers the opportunity to address the demand for urban living in Málaga.
This involves existing construction requiring total renovation. An architectural study is available supporting the conversion into modern residential units. The renovation includes restoring historical features and implementing new technical systems. Delivery depends on the start of construction works.
The property is not a turnkey home but a renovation project requiring substantial investment. There is no private swimming pool. Parking is on the public street; no private parking spaces exist on the plot. The historical status may impose specific restrictions on renovations.
This project suits investors or developers looking to invest capital in urban renewal. It is appropriate for parties with experience in renovation projects and the complexities of historic buildings. It may also be an option for individuals with the means and vision to redevelop a city palace. It is not suitable for buyers seeking a move-in ready holiday home.
The current state is that of a ruinous structure with historical elements. Amenities such as kitchens and bathrooms are non-existent or outdated. The value lies in original features like the stone entrance, coat of arms, and interior courtyard with a fountain. The final finish level will be determined by the future renovation plan and the choices of the new owner.
The asking price for this property is €4,000,000. This is a fixed price for the entire building including the land. The total investment will be higher given the necessary renovation costs. The pricing reflects the location value and floor area in the historic center.
Living in the Centro Histórico means residing in the beating heart of Málaga. The immediate surroundings are defined by historical monuments, theaters, and a wide range of dining options. Grocery shopping and dining out are done on foot. The neighborhood is vibrant and urban, with heavy traffic and foot traffic during the day. This is an environment for those who appreciate dynamism and a central location, rather than quiet residential living in a suburb.
The environment offers a very high density of amenities. Within walking distance, you will find dozens of restaurants, banks, and pharmacies. Public transport, including multiple bus lines and train stations like Atarazanas, is within a short distance. The streets themselves are narrow and traffic-calmed, defining the atmosphere.

Compared to new development projects in coastal towns like Mijas or Fuengirola, this project offers a completely different value proposition. While projects like Arosa or Astra Homes are often turnkey and equipped with community facilities like pools, this object is a 'raw shell' in an urban context. The price of €4,000,000 is significantly higher than comparable new-build apartments on the coast, but this reflects the floor space and location value per square meter in central Málaga. The investment considerations differ: here, value is created through redevelopment, whereas on the coast, purchases are often for immediate use and rental potential during tourist seasons.
