The Four Seasons in Marbella will come with parks, roads, and cultural and sports facilities.

The large-scale project of the Four Seasons hotel in the El Pinar area will include 220,000 square meters allocated for the 486 residences within the project, over 1,842 square meters of commercial areas, and 65,032 square meters of parks and gardens. But that's not all: there will also be another 6,220 square meters of sports areas, 1,800 of cultural facilities, 3,320 of sports areas, and more than 23,000 in facilities.

These are the details of the urbanization project approved by the Marbella City Council, which also includes the reorganization of the accesses to the A-7 highway, the construction of service roads, a roundabout, and a pedestrian bridge, as well as the remodeling of streets in this area located on the outskirts of the urban center next to three developments (El Real Panorama, Golf Garden, and La Finca de Marbella). In total, the urbanization project affects 34.70 hectares, with lands on both sides of the highway, of which 31.77 percent (103,295.25 square meters) is designated for facilities.

The reorganization of the accesses on the A-7 will be carried out on the right margin (between kilometer points 1039+920 and 1041+300), a section "dangerous in terms of road safety" due to the current configuration of the entrances and exits, especially at kilometer point 1040+180, where it is regulated by a stop sign that "lacks an acceleration lane and has limited visibility", about 140 meters from the curve, is "quite dangerous," according to the urbanization project approved by the Marbella City Council. "It is also worth noting the unmarked exit from the A-7, located at PK 1040+380, which lacks a deceleration lane," it adds.

Eliminating Exits on the A-7

The adopted solution consists of the execution of a 1,275-meter service road that connects the existing exit located at PK 1039+760 ("Torre Real / Change of Direction") with the service road that runs parallel to the A-7 (between points 1040+380 and 1041+300), thereby eliminating both the direct on-ramp and off-ramp in the area.

Naranjos and Incosol streets will be renovated, a footbridge and an underpass will be constructed, and the area will be soundproofed with acoustic panels

The construction of the 486 residences will involve the installation of acoustic screens on both sides of the highway to reduce noise levels, which will cost the developers 3 million euros; and the construction of a new pedestrian bridge next to Teniente Riera street as the service road is extended, with a cost of about 930,000 euros, demolishing the existing one.

Furthermore, the urbanization project includes the remodeling of Naranjos street, renewing its "obsolete" urban infrastructure; the reform of the intersection between Incosol street and the access roads to the Birdie Club urbanization and the sector, and the execution of a roundabout; the construction of an underpass to strengthen the north-south pedestrian connection (located at PK 1040+309), in addition to the aforementioned service road. These last actions will involve an expenditure of 6.26 million euros, raising the total investment in the urbanization of this area of the El Pinar zone to about 9.26 million euros.
