Astra stands out for built area per euro, Higuerón for the shorter beach walk, and Luminal for offering the widest choice within budget.

Only then can you build a fair shortlist.", "hans_project_assessments": [ "Hans' assessment My key point on Astra is the price-to-area ratio: a median of €3,181 per built m² is the lowest of the three. I’d start by comparing E4 - N2 A with other units in this range, and verify south-facing orientation and sightlines separately.", "Hans' assessment Higuerón suits a buyer who values a shorter beach walk and the possibility of a move-in-ready home. The higher median of €6,750 per built m² requires a conscious trade-off. Confirm the transfer status of your chosen unit.", "Hans' assessment Luminal offers the most priced units in this price range. The median of €3,655 per built m² provides context, but the six units in this price range vary significantly in terrace and built area. I recommend comparing two specific floor plans first." ], "completion_comparison": "When can you occupy the property? Move-in ready or delivery in 2028: Compare Astra, Higuerón and Luminal in Fuengirola The delivery status changes the decision within the €500,000–€750,000 range. Buyers seeking immediate occupancy will assess these three projects differently than those who can wait to select a future new-build home. 01 · Expected delivery Astra Homes Fourth quarter 2028 May suit if: you can plan your purchase around a later key handover and want to compare built area per euro. Note: you cannot use the property before actual completion; request the contractual handover date, payment schedule and guarantee for advance payments. 02 · Offered as move-in ready Higuerón Bay Residences No construction completion to wait for* May suit if: you wish to move in sooner and prefer to assess finishes, natural light and outdoor space in person. Note: move-in ready alone does not indicate the key, permit or transfer status of Apartment 2 or 24. The full purchase price may also become due earlier. 03 · Expected delivery Luminal Homes September 2028 May suit if: you don’t need to move immediately and would like a wider selection of priced homes within this price range. Note: The completion date is an estimate. Please verify the selected property, construction phase, payment schedule, and conditions for potential delays. Could waiting be financially advantageous? If market value rises between a fixed purchase price and final delivery, buying early may prove beneficial. However, value appreciation is not guaranteed—market prices may also fall, delivery could be delayed, and the purchase agreement determines when payments are due. Therefore, compare the specific property and total costs at the time of decision-making. Hans’ practical assessment If you plan to occupy the home soon, the actual availability and transferability of the Higuerón property should be your first consideration. If you have time, compare Astra and Luminal in terms of price, floor plan, outdoor space, and contractual delivery terms. I would never treat assumed future price increases as a decisive factor. * Completion date and pricing disclaimer. “Move-in ready” refers to the project presentation and does not confirm that a specific unit can legally be transferred or occupied today. September and Q4 2028 are projected timelines, not guaranteed handover dates. Before reservation, verify in writing per unit the current status, contractual completion date, required documentation, payment schedule, and guarantees for advance payments. Potential price developments are scenarios, not return guarantees or appraisals.

Priced units, prices, and sizes were directly compared with logged-in Resales price lists: Astra and Luminal updated on 7 October, Higuerón on 8 October 2026. The project median is the median of individual asking prices divided by built m². The weighted median includes half of the stated terrace area and therefore has different sample coverage per project. Location figures are from a prior route check.
