Marbella brings back residential and hotel project with 96-million-euro investment

Marbella's ability to attract investment is endless. Its latest project for the development of a residential complex and a luxury hotel, however, has an interesting twist: it dates back 30 years, according to town planning councillor José Eduardo Díaz, who explained how they will revive it.

The reactivation of the project means that the processing will not be governed by the current regulations, but by the regulations that were in force at the time it was initiated. This means that a large part of the administrative acts that were carried out at the time can be retained and the time taken to complete the project can be brought forward. The project is already at around 50% of its processing.

This is the Plan Parcial de Ordenación de Arroyo de la Cruz project, which concerns an area located to the south of the AP-7 motorway and very close to the La Meridiana area, which the local ruling team resumed processing on Tuesday, 2 December. The operation contemplates the construction of 232 free-market multi-family and single-family units and the reservation of more than 52,000 square metres for the construction of a luxury hotel.

The only detail about the hotel that Díaz has revealed is that it will be managed by "a major international brand", which is new for Marbella, although the town is already one of the Andalusian municipalities with the highest number of five-star establishments.
