This spacious 6,275 m² plot in Riviera del Sol, near Mijas Costa, offers significant development potential. With the possibility of constructing apartments, this project is situated in a vibrant urban environment with amenities within walking distance. The location combines proximity to the coast with easy access to transport and recreational facilities, making it an attractive option for developers.
This development plot in Riviera del Sol stands out due to its size and strategic location within the central Costa del Sol. Compared to off-plan projects like Acqua Gardens (€418,800) and Aby Upper (€320,000) in Estepona, or Alba Benalmadena (€699,000) in Benalmadena, this plot offers a unique opportunity for large-scale development with a significantly larger buildable area. While those projects offer ready-made apartments, this plot targets developers seeking capacity for a greater number of residential units. The starting price of €1,870,000 reflects the scale and potential for developing multiple buildings, rather than individual unit sales. Its placement within an established urban setting with existing infrastructure and proximity to amenities distinguishes it from projects in more secluded areas, providing a solid foundation for investment in the continuous demand for new housing on the Costa del Sol.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Located in an established urban area of Mijas Costa, this plot offers direct access to local amenities such as shops and restaurants. Its proximity to the coastline and various sports facilities, including golf courses, enhances the location's appeal for residential development.
This land is specifically suited for the development of residential properties, with the potential to construct multiple apartments. The planned construction, including parking spaces and storage rooms, aligns with the demand for modern living solutions offering high comfort.
The building permit for the original development plans, granted in 2012, has expired, indicating the need for a new application process for current development possibilities. The preliminary project for two residential blocks with 7,017 m² of above-ground built area outlines the scale of potential new construction.
The plot is a development land parcel without existing dwellings. The previous building permit has expired, meaning a new permit process is required. The plot is not immediately habitable and requires further project development.
This project is particularly suitable for developers seeking a location with substantial building area in a sought-after region of the Costa del Sol. The capacity to build up to 64 apartments, with options for 2 and 3 bedrooms, appeals to investors looking to meet the demand for new housing. Its location in an urban area with amenities within walking distance, and close to beaches and recreational facilities, makes it attractive to a wide audience, from families and seniors to investors focused on rental income. The expiration of the previous building permit offers flexibility to adapt plans to current market demand, provided local regulations are adhered to.
As a development plot, this land offers the flexibility to implement the highest standards of quality and finishing in future construction. The opportunity to build with modern materials and techniques ensures energy efficiency and durability. The proposed layout, including private storage and parking for each unit, combined with a south-facing orientation and panoramic views, can result in high-quality apartments. The development potential for residential or hotel use allows for luxurious finishes and amenities tailored to the expectations of international buyers.
This development plot in Riviera del Sol is priced from €1,870,000. This pricing reflects the significant potential of the location for large-scale residential development. The transaction is subject to 21% VAT, ensuring transparency in the financial process. As this is a building plot, there are no variations in existing property types or sizes; however, future development will likely encompass various housing types within the established building envelopes.
