Marbella To Build New Port By 2015

Posted on Wednesday, September 14, 2011 14:20

The plan includes a 200-metre long central pier surrounded and protected by a circular dyke with a circumference of 911 metres. The new port will feature a total of 1220 moorings, as well as harbouring several cruise ships at a time. On the 155,000 square metres of land created there will arise a shopping centre, a luxury hotel and an underground car park with a capacity of 450 places. To complement the plan, the existing fishing port will also be remodelled.

Full project plans will have to be submitted within the next six months, and once construction commences it is expected to take four years.  

A great opportunityThe new port will create new facilities and bring new visitors to Marbella, but the impact will extend far beyond this alone. Many see it as the catalyst for the next stage in Marbella’s development; one in which the town itself, and in particular its sea fronting areas, will be redeveloped, rejuvenated and given a boost. It is evidence of the evolution of Marbella into a mature resort town, but also an exciting opportunity to update, upgrade and create a very clear identity for the future.
