THE Costa del Sol’s construction industry has gotten back into full swing with several exciting projects nearing completion and others just getting started.
From exclusive hillside developments to game changing lagoons, it almost feels like we are back to the good old days, before the financial crash decimated the booming market in 2008. Prices across the country have been increasing at a steady rate. Enness International has pointed to ‘sustained growth’ in the country’s property market following the savage recession that left many developments along the Costa del Sol unfinished. Record-low interest rates, cheap credit and a Europe-wide economic recovery have also helped to attract buyers to Spain.
And Brits, who have been made slightly more hesitant thanks to the Brexit vote, are still buying into the Spanish dream, and for everyone that has backed out, a Norweigan, Swede and German has been there to fill his space. As thousands of cranes are being erected along the coast, we take a look at the most exciting developments looking to shape up Andalucia’s skyline.
