Compared to nearby projects like Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, which focus on selling individual apartments starting from €320,000 to €418,800, this property stands out for its scale and development potential. Alba Benalmadena, priced from €699,000, also falls into the category of individual home sales. This plot in Manilva, priced at €10,200,000, is specifically aimed at large-scale project development, not the sale of individual residences. The Estepona region, where the comparable projects are located, is an established market for luxury apartments and villas. Manilva, conversely, offers an opportunity for developers to create new projects on an extensive site, possibly in a less saturated segment of the large-scale development market, while retaining the attractive coastal location and Mediterranean climate characteristic of the Costa del Sol.
