La Quinta Grupo Inmobilario has begun initial construction work at Real de la Quinta, a new residential tourism development with approximately 1,600 luxury homes, located in the best enclave of Marbella-Benahavís in the province of Malaga. The project is situated on 202 hectares of land within the last zone of new construction remaining in the heart of the Costa del Sol. Designed for the international residential market, and with Scandinavians targeted as buyers, the resort’s focus is on design and quality-of-life, while showing maximum respect and care for the environment.
 
This is the first development in Spain with Breeam sustainable construction certification, and it is destined to become the Mediterranean’s primary focus of attention for short-term and medium-term availability of international residential properties.
 
With this project, La Quinta Grupo Inmobilario is becoming the only company in the region to start up a second residential development. Its first was La Quinta Golf Housing Complex built 30 years ago, which consists of apartments, villas, a hotel, and various recreational services that occupy almost 160 hectares, and with a total of over 1,300 homes. That project helped the Group gain expertise that now backs up its ability to take on the new challenge of Real de la Quinta, which represents an investment of approximately €450 million.
 
In the words of Borja Pascual, Executive Vice-President of the La Quinta Grupo Inmobilario: “We’re offering much more than spectacular homes in a top location. We set ourselves apart by being a very high-quality resort that features environmental sustainability, one that is fully integrated into its natural surroundings, transmitting the lively and positive spirit of Marbella. The designs have also been based on the innovative and practical ‘smart living’ philosophies developed in the countries of northern Europe”. He goes on to say, “it is an authentic oasis, an environment where nature, innovation, tranquillity, privacy, security, and the pleasure of living can all coexist. In the end, our intention has been to create a paradise where we can enjoy the quality of life we have always dreamed of”.
 
The first complex, Olivos, includes 90 apartments with 2-4 bedrooms, distributed in 12 buildings and with landscaped common areas and swimming pools. These homes have been available for sale since September, and will be completed for delivery in the autumn of 2019.
