Our clients
Investors
Besides the climate, there’s a sunny side to investing in Southern Spain. Take Málaga for example. This vibrant city has become a favorite holiday destination for Europeans, Asians and Americans.
At the same time, an ever growing number of (international) companies choose Málaga as a business location. The Málaga Tech Park is like a magnet to tech companies around the globe.
Expats love the climate, the relatively cheap housing, the excellent food at affordable prices, the nearby airport, sunny beaches at the doorstep. Málaga has it all.
Depending on your wishes, we offer projects that yield both short-term and long-term returns through rental and/or sale.
Private clients
Our private clients often fancy to own a holiday home in Spain but without any possible hassle. We offer complete home management services so the house is always in excellent condition and you can move in whenever you want.
If you like your house to generate an extra income from long and/or short term rentals, we can take care of the whole proces.
Real Estate Projects
The Malaga City Council has shown great willingness to cooperate when it comes to converting commercial properties into residential spaces. These newly created homes and living spaces are usually located in spectacular settings, most of them in the heart of the city and close to all amenities.
Andalusia is an ideal holiday destination. Stylish cities, beautiful nature, white villages, the culture and food. Spain has a lot to offer and therefore attracts many tourists.
We have been operation in the tourist market for a long time and know the quality standards accommodations must meet. Our interior designs will make sure that your accommodation stands out from others. Our team of professional photographers will create exceptional sets of images that will help promoting your place easily on 3rd party platforms like booking.com et cetera.
Outside the cities, houses tend to be larger with swimming pool and views. Prices per m2 drop significantly. We know from experience the serenity and beauty of living in the countryside, where shady places are essential and life tends to resonate even more with nature and the seasons.
Imagine an old ruined fisherman’s house or an old empty factory. Our hearts beat faster when we find such opportunities. We have lot’s of experience in refurbishing old buildings into unique living spaces, leaving all authentic elements in tact.

Spain is Europe’s # 1 tourist destination, making it a favorite place for project developers. Away from the city centers with high-rise buildings, many cozy apartments and urbanizations arise with beautiful gardens and swimming pools. Through our network of agents, we know exactly where new developments will emerge.

There are many areas in and around cities that caught the attention of the city council and that are projected to be refurbished, partly with public funding, which will help turn these areas into hot spots in the near future.
Homes in these areas can be found in poor condition and often in shambles, at the same time offering huge investment potential. For both small and large projects. From a 15 m2 Airbnb space to single-family houses that, after careful planning and restructuring, can be converted, for example, into a boutique hotel.

We aim to create bespoke spaces where people enjoy to live in with a maximum of comfort possible.

Regions
Málaga city
Malaga has tremendously changed for the better over the last 2 decades. There are many trendy areas, beautiful parks, hundreds of restaurants and beautiful streets and buildings to admire and explore.
Thanks to the efforts of the Malaga city council, it continues to develop positively, not only for tourists but especially for all residents. The many museums, the clean beaches, the impressive harbor, the authentic bars, the atmospheric squares and, of course, the history of Picasso give this city the shine it deserves. At present we have many projects with our name tag attached to it. Ask us for more information on interesting neighborhoods and investment opportunities.
Costa del Sol
Marbella, Estepona, Nerja. Places you have probably heard about. Known to international tourists, but thanks to their beautiful city centers, wonderful beaches, restaurants and rich nature, also extremely popular with people who live there permanently.
The high-rise buildings from the past have given way to building attractive urbanizations with lots of green areas, swimming pools, golf courses and country houses. In Malaga, living close to the beach is still affordable and we know the places you want to check out.
White villages
The famous and authentic “pueblos blancos”, the white villages in Andalusia reveil many Moorish influences, are packed with bars and restaurants where you can enjoy the best local products like hams, cheeses and wines. One of our favorites is Ronda where we recently built some unique apartments (2020) and a family home (2012). The family home allowed us to use a mixture of modern architecture in combination with local materials.
