Case studies

Two- and three-bedroom apartments located in the Atalaya area (situated on the border of Estepona, Benahavís, and San Pedro Alcántara) were launched for sale in 2018 at prices that typically started below €400,000–€500,000, depending on whether they were ground-floor units, middle-floor apartments, or penthouses. Clients from the Tricity area (Gdańsk, Gdynia, and Sopot) decided to purchase a penthouse off plan. After several years, in 2025, they chose to sell the apartment in order to buy a house for themselves in the same area. Due to strong demand and the attractive location, prices in the Cataleya development have increased significantly since its original launch. The penthouse was ultimately sold for €1,250,000. What indicated the investment potential and why did we recommend this development to our clients? • Location – in the prestigious and rapidly developing area known as Nueva Milla de Oro, combining the comfort of Marbella with the charm of Estepona. • Proximity to the renowned Atalaya school – perfect for families seeking top-quality education for their children. • Modern design and aesthetic appeal – attractive for buyers looking for a stylish and luxurious environment. • Hillside positioning with views – offers beautiful panoramas and a sense of privacy. • Access to sports and recreation – golf courses (Paraíso Golf Club, Atalaya Golf Club), tennis courts, and the Bel-Air padel club. • Unique community concept – a gated, intimate development designed to resemble a small Andalusian town. • Amenities – swimming pools, playground, gym, sauna and co-working space.

At the beginning of 2024, a private investor from Szczecin (Poland), Mr. Marcin, decided to invest in the modern Serene Atalaya development. The project attracted him not only with its high standard but, above all, with its strategic location – one of the most desirable on the Costa del Sol. Location is typically the key factor influencing our clients’ purchasing decisions. Serene Atalaya is situated in the heart of the so-called New Golden Mile – between Marbella and Estepona – providing quick access to two of the most important destinations in the region. In addition, the immediate surroundings include: • Benahavís (a prestigious, green area known for luxury villas and fine dining), • San Pedro de Alcántara (a rapidly developing part of Marbella with full urban infrastructure). It is the perfect combination of tranquility, nature, and access to city life. For Mr. Marcin, another important factor was the proximity to Atalaya International School – one of the most highly regarded international schools in the region. This is a significant advantage for families planning relocation or longer stays, ensuring high-quality education for children without long commutes. Serene Atalaya is also surrounded by some of the best golf courses on the Costa del Sol. For many buyers, this is not only a lifestyle benefit but also a factor that enhances the investment value. The proximity to nature, beautiful views, and the intimate character of the area make it an ideal place both for living and relaxation. The investor chose Serene Atalaya because the development combines several key elements: • an excellent location between the region’s top destinations • high quality of life and a მშვიდ environment • access to education and infrastructure • strong potential for property value growth This was not a random purchase – it was a well-thought-out decision based on long-term value appreciation. In March 2024, Mr. Marcin purchased the property for €630,000 + VAT. In February 2026, the investor received the keys to the house along with an updated valuation (the property was appraised at €825,000). The property was immediately listed for sale, and a new buyer purchased the house for €890,000.

At the end of 2022, clients from London, Mrs Ania and her husband Filip, approached us seeking support in selecting an investment property intended for rental purposes on the Costa del Sol. Their objective was to find a property that would, on one hand, ensure stable rental performance, and on the other, serve as a secure, long-term capital asset. After analysing multiple available options and conducting joint property viewings across different locations, they ultimately decided to purchase a townhouse in a highly well-connected and promising area of the coast. Why did we recommend this property? 1. High investment resilience location The property is located between Marbella and Estepona – one of the most stable and desirable markets on the Costa del Sol. This area benefits from consistent international demand, largely independent of seasonality. 2. Strong year-round rental potential Proximity to international schools, sports infrastructure, and services makes the property attractive not only for seasonal rentals, but primarily for relocating families and expatriates. 3. Property type aligned with market demand The townhouse format responds to real tenant needs: * more space than an apartment * privacy and functional layout * terraces and outdoor areas This type of property is particularly sought after in the long-term rental segment. 4. Strong lifestyle appeal The surrounding area offers access to golf courses, tennis and padel clubs, as well as recreational zones, significantly broadening the potential tenant base. 5. Modern gated community Security, shared infrastructure, and contemporary construction standards translate into: * higher rental yields * lower maintenance costs * more stable long-term market value 6. Capital appreciation potential Limited new supply in this part of the market, combined with sustained international demand, supports long-term capital value growth. Agra Residencial Estepona has a very clear investment profile and is a textbook example of a “Golden Triangle mid-premium” product. As a result, this purchase was not merely a transaction, but a conscious investment strategy combining capital security, stable cash flow, and strong lifestyle appeal.
