Nueva Atalaya Public Space Redevelopment Goes to Tender

Estepona Town Hall has put out to tender the transformation of a municipal plot in Nueva Atalaya into a new public space with parking, sports, and green zones

Estepona Town Hall has put out to tender the works for the comprehensive redevelopment of a municipal plot in Nueva Atalaya. This project aims to create a new public space featuring parking for residents, sports facilities, and leisure areas. The plot, situated between Calle Nueva Atalaya and Avenida Pernet, will see its urbanisation completed, integrating sports installations, green zones, pedestrian routes, parking, and essential urban services into a single cohesive area.

Enhanced Green Spaces and Urban Furniture

A significant part of the project focuses on creating and organising extensive green spaces. Plans include 2,543.16 square metres dedicated to gardens, which will incorporate existing trees and generate shaded areas for relaxation. The proposal prioritises retaining valuable vegetation and implements strategies to enhance thermal comfort within the public space, helping to mitigate the urban heat island effect. New urban furniture, including benches, bicycle parking, litter bins, and signage, will also be installed to create a more comfortable and functional environment for residents.

Improved Infrastructure and Sports Facilities

The redevelopment also includes expanding parking areas to address current usage on the plot. Pedestrian and vehicle routes will be upgraded with various paving types suitable for each use. Furthermore, essential urban networks such as water supply, sanitation, and rainwater drainage will be improved. A new rainwater collection network, connected to the existing infrastructure on Avenida Pernet, is part of the project, along with solutions designed to direct drainage from pedestrian and sports areas towards the new gardens. The plans also include better lighting across the entire area, with a new outdoor lighting system for roads and pedestrian spaces designed with energy and environmental efficiency in mind.

The layout of this space will incorporate a dedicated sports area, which will integrate the existing multi-sport court and both current and planned padel courts. This will allow the space to host regular sports activities, as well as recreational events.

The works for this land redevelopment have gone out to tender with a base budget of €495,119 (IVA included) and an execution period of three months.
