Sierra Blanca Estates, a real estate development firm, has officially announced plans to build a new residential neighborhood in the coastal city of Málaga, Spain. The proposal aims to address the city’s growing demand for housing in the capital of the Andalucía autonomous community. The new neighborhood is planned for the El Bulto area, adjacent to the city’s port railway line, and would include a 21-storey building designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.
The development forms part of a recent Andalusian urban planning initiative that promotes a collaborative framework for managing public spaces in the city. The El Bulto neighborhood project outlines the preservation and relocation of several nearby heritage structures, including the Cottolengo Diocesan Residence. Plans also mention new public squares, gardens, sheltered courtyards, and sports and recreational facilities intended for both residents and visitors.
The proposed building would include up to 153 residential units, along with 80 subsidized housing units (VPO) designated for long-term residents of the El Bulto community. This project is presented as part of a broader effort to transform the former industrial zone into a residential district with cultural and recreational amenities for residents of all ages.
