What you need to know

San Pedro Alcántara is set to receive 172 new protected homes of up to four bedrooms, according to Marbella City Council.

The homes are intended to improve access to housing for families in the city, with the project focused on protected accommodation rather than the open market. The announcement forms part of Marbella’s wider housing programme and follows the municipality’s recent planning decisions on new residential supply.

Details such as the final delivery timetable, eligibility requirements and the allocation process will be important for prospective applicants. Residents should rely on the council’s official announcements for the opening of any registration or application period.

The project comes as housing affordability remains a central issue on the Costa del Sol. Increasing the number of protected homes can help households who meet the relevant criteria, although the new units will not remove the wider pressure on rents and purchase prices across the area.
