Marbella has been one of the most dynamic real estate markets in Europe for decades, and new construction continues to be a key driver of this growth. But, in 2025, the big question arises: is it still a good idea to invest in new construction in Marbella? From Marbella Top Homes, with years of experience in the area and constant contact with developers, architects and buyers, the answer is clear: yes, but with nuances.
The supply of new construction in Marbella has matured. Gone are the days of massive, personality-less developments. Today, the new developments being built – in places such as Cabopino, Altos de Puente Romano, Benahavís or the Golden Mile – stand out for their contemporary design, energy efficiency, premium qualities and, above all, a focus on user experience. It is not just about selling square meters: homes with soul are being built, designed for those who wish to live all year round or invest in a product that will attract a demanding international profile.
One of the great attractions of investing in new construction is the appreciation in value. In Marbella, new homes are sold at high prices, but the resale value tends to increase rapidly, especially in well-located projects, with sea views, near golf courses or in urbanizations with services such as 24h security, gym, spa or landscaped common areas. Investing now in projects under development allows access to more competitive prices than when they are completed and ready for delivery.
In addition, new homes in Marbella meet the current demands of the international market: open kitchens, large windows, spacious terraces, energy efficiency class A or higher, home automation, aerothermal, underfloor heating, parking spaces with electric charger … Elements that a few years ago were a luxury, today are standard.
But it is also key to have good advice. At Marbella Top Homes we help our clients to analyze each project in depth: from the developer’s background to the legal feasibility, the delivery of licenses and the evolution of the price per square meter in the area. Not all promotions offer the same future value, which is why we work with professional and honest criteria. We recommend only projects in which we would invest ourselves.
There is also an added fiscal value for investors who buy off-plan or in the construction phase: the possibility of staggering payments, accessing financing facilities, and even – in some cases – adjusting certain finishes or customizing details of the property, which adds to the attractiveness for those looking for a more exclusive product.
In short, investing in new construction in Marbella is still a smart decision, as long as it is done with a good orientation and a strategic approach. With a stable international market, growing demand and a privileged environment, Marbella continues to position itself as one of the real estate jewels of Southern Europe. And with Marbella Top Homes as your trusted guide, that investment also becomes peace of mind and profitability.
