Compared to Térmica Beach (from €479,000) and Luxy Sancha (from €472,440), also located in Málaga, this apartment is positioned in a higher price bracket, starting at €585,000. This higher price point is likely due to its specific location in the historic city center and the potential for a complete, bespoke renovation within an older building. Térmica Beach and Luxy Sancha appear to be new construction projects, implying a different type of buyer and pricing structure, often focused on immediately habitable homes with modern facilities. Acqua Gardens in Estepona, priced from €418,800, is in a different coastal town and likely offers a different environment, possibly more focused on resorts or new developments outside the immediate city center. This Málaga project distinguishes itself through the combination of a historic setting, a central urban location, and its blank-canvas nature for the buyer, making it attractive to a niche market that values creating a unique home with character in the heart of a vibrant city.
