Fuengirola goes ahead with major housing project with 300 new homes in Cerro del Agua

Fuengirola Council has given initial approval to a detailed planning study for the SUNC-13 sector known as Cerro del Agua. The plan represents an important step forward for residential expansion in the area. Promoted by AGP Real Estate 6, S.L., the proposal received formal backing from the local government board on June 15.

Publication in the Provincial Official Gazette now opens a 20-day public consultation window, allowing residents and stakeholders to submit comments or objections before final decisions are made.

Planned housing mix reaches 300 units

Developers hope to deliver a total of 300 homes across the sector. Plans allocate 111 units as protected-price affordable housing with safeguards against property speculation and more availability to lower-income buyers, with the remaining properties available on the open market.

The layout maintains existing building rights and land use designations set out in the wider council plan. Technical adjustments focus solely on building volumes and placement to make sure of practical delivery of the project.

Site constraints shape design choices

Multiple physical and regulatory factors have influenced development across the Cerro del Agua area. Railway easements, flood protection zones and varied terrain require careful integration into the overall layout. Planners have incorporated different construction platforms to accommodate these challenges without changing the core municipal planning rules.

Building types vary by plot, with main residential blocks reaching the ground floor plus five storeys. A separate commercial area offers 2,300 square metres of space at a maximum height of ground floor plus one storey.

Mixed-use elements improve local offer

One dedicated plot provides space for social facilities, supporting a balanced community environment that combines housing with essential services. This approach contributes to a well-rounded neighbourhood structure suitable for future residents.

Progress on the detailed study brings clarity to one of Fuengirola’s few remaining undeveloped residential zones. Local authorities continue working to unlock housing potential while respecting environmental and infrastructural limits. The plan promises additional homes to meet ongoing demand in this popular location.
