The Council of Ministers authorized this Tuesday the tendering of the urbanization works for the Buenavista sector in Malaga, clearing the way for Casa 47 to put out the contract for a project that will bring 1,362 affordable homes for rent to the west of the city.

The urbanization works are valued at 34 million euros and cover 27.24 hectares, with more than 108,000 square metres of road network and nearly 49,000 square metres set aside for green areas and public facilities. The plan, approved by the Malaga Urban Planning Department on 5 May, includes 14 residential plots and will feed homes into a permanent state affordable housing stock managed by Casa 47.

That scale matters because Buenavista is one of the major urban expansion areas linked to Teatinos and the wider residential growth underway in western Malaga. The city is trying to answer a housing market marked by rising prices and too few available homes, and the Buenavista scheme is one of the few projects large enough to add supply in a meaningful way.

The decision this Tuesday also fits into a broader municipal push. The Malaga City Council approved procedures for another 124 homes in the capital, including 16 protected homes, with the main additional action located in Los Guindos. That separate move involves an amendment to the PGOU on an area of 6,730 square metres.

The two tracks show the shape of Malaga’s housing response: one large state-backed development aimed at creating a lasting pool of affordable rentals, and a smaller city-led step that keeps other sites moving through planning. The immediate next step is the tendering of Buenavista’s urbanization works, which will determine when the ground can finally be prepared for the first of those homes.
