Set to be approved this June by Marbella’s Town Hall, the PGOM is more than a policy shift, it is a strategic framework aimed at ushering in a new era of growth, sustainability, and international investment. As announced by Marbella’s mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, this marks a crucial step forward, streamlining urban planning processes, enhancing transparency, and accelerating the approval of significant development projects.
At the core of this plan are 65 sectoral reports, each receiving positive assessments. This comprehensive effort has been shaped by months of public consultation and collaboration with local stakeholders, ensuring the plan aligns with both the town’s vision and legal frameworks.
The PGOM draws legal support from LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía), a regional law that introduces flexibility into planning regulations. LISTA enables a distinction between long-term strategic planning and more immediate urban projects, making it easier for both public and private actors to initiate development without bureaucratic slowdowns.
This modern approach reflects Marbella's ambition to not only keep pace with international real estate trends but to become a leading reference in Mediterranean urbanism.
For investors, developers, and future residents, the implications of the PGOM are substantial:
1. Accelerated Project Timelines: With a simplified approval process, major residential and commercial developments can break ground sooner, creating new inventory in a high demand market.
2. Increased Land Availability: The plan unlocks more zones for construction, particularly in San Pedro, Nueva Andalucía, Las Chapas, and central Marbella. This expanded land supply opens opportunities for a more diverse portfolio of properties, from ultra luxury villas to urban residences.
3. Boosted Investor Confidence: Regulatory clarity and the backing of regional legislation give institutional and international investors greater confidence, potentially attracting new capital to Marbella’s evolving skyline.
4. Support for the Local Workforce and Youth: A new housing initiative under the PGOM proposes low cost rental homes for young people and seasonal workers, to be built by private developers on free municipal land. This addresses one of Marbella’s critical challenges, affordable housing and enhances the town’s social cohesion.
One of the most encouraging aspects of the PGOM is its balance between urban growth and environmental responsibility. While designed for speed and scale, it still adheres to strict environmental and legal standards, ensuring that Marbella retains the beauty, charm, and quality of life that have made it world renowned.
The plan is now poised for final review by the Junta de Andalucía. If all proceeds smoothly, the PGOM could be in full effect before the end of 2025, a timeframe that aligns with key trends in southern Europe’s luxury and investment property markets.
As a leading luxury real estate agency with a global presence, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Marbella sees the PGOM as a blueprint for inclusive and forward looking growth. It sets the stage for Marbella to reinforce its position as a premier residential and investment destination, where lifestyle, opportunity, and innovation converge.
