Town-centre land with a full building licence in place

Planning permission and building licences are already granted for a 365 m² mixed-use building on this 98 m² residential plot in San Pedro de Alcántara. Most urban parcels in the town centre require a long wait at the town hall before any work can begin, whereas this site is sold with an approved project for immediate construction.

The parcel and its town-centre footprint

The land sits in the centre of San Pedro de Alcántara, within the wider Marbella area and near Puerto Banús. A plot footprint of 98 m² is a compact urban site, meaning the building will occupy almost the entire parcel with no private garden space at ground level. Building on a central street requires careful logistics for material deliveries and crane access, which a buyer's builder will need to coordinate with the local council.

What the approved project allows

The granted plans permit a three-storey building plus a basement, combining commercial use at street level with residential housing above. On the ground floor, the permission allows a 78.01 m² commercial unit with direct access to a terrace, supported by a 54.09 m² basement for storage, technical installations or secondary commercial space. Above the street level, the licence covers two separate homes: a first-floor apartment of 78.09 m² and a 117.27 m² duplex penthouse across the second floor and attic with a private terrace. A further 92.04 m² of common areas is allocated to the staircase and hallways.

What to verify before making an offer

When buying a residential plot in San Pedro de Alcántara with existing permissions, the paperwork is as important as the ground itself. A buyer should have a lawyer and an architect verify the expiry dates and transferability of the licences, and confirm whether the basic and execution projects are both fully paid and signed off. It is also necessary to inspect the site boundary, confirmwhether any old structure remains to be demolished, and check the connection points for water, electricity and main drainage in the street.
