Overview

For those who require the immediate connectivity of the high-speed train (AVE), corporate infrastructures, and proximity to the International Airport, Alicante’s traditional center stands as a market of extremely high interest. The fusion of 19th and early 20th-century architecture with the sports marina provides an unrepeatable classic setting.

Asset Typology

The quintessential asset is the stately apartment: high ceilings (over 3 meters), original moldings, and large windows. The upper floors (penthouses) with private terraces and unobstructed views of the sea or the Santa Bárbara Castle operate in a market with highly inelastic pricing and exceptional liquidity.

Investment Focus

The center concentrates a large part of the operations for Family Offices seeking a capital haven through the acquisition of entire buildings. This applies both for their subsequent unit commercialization after a comprehensive rehabilitation (urban luxury Turnkey strategy) and for the development of premium coliving operators aimed at expatriates.
