Taylor Wimpey Bets €63 Million on Manilva with 153-Home Grand Bay Scheme
Major developer Taylor Wimpey commits €63 million to build 153 residential homes in Manilva as buyer demand ripples westward along the Costa del Sol.
A prominent coastal land tract in Manilva is set to undergo transformation following the unveiling of a substantial €63 million residential investment by leading housebuilder Taylor Wimpey Spain. Billed as Grand Bay, the newly announced project comprises 153 properties oriented towards the south-east and south-west, aiming to capture expanding buyer interest across the westernmost tip of Málaga province.
Natural Extension of the Western Coast
Developers behind the investment characterise Manilva as the natural geographic continuation of the vibrant property corridor stretching from Marbella through Estepona. With land availability tightening and prices climbing steeply across the central Costa del Sol, regional residential expansion has increasingly pushed into Manilva's coastal perimeter, adjacent to the luxury enclaves of Sotogrande.
Recent market metrics underscore this accelerating shift. Residential property values across the municipality climbed by 15 per cent over the preceding twelve months, lifting prevailing asking figures to an average of €3,106 per square metre. While representing an unprecedented local pricing peak, that level keeps Manilva noticeably accessible when matched against neighbouring markets. Comparable properties in Estepona average €4,329 per metre, while Marbella commands figures upwards of €5,600, giving Manilva a pricing advantage of 28 per cent and 45 per cent respectively.
Capitalising on Expat Influx and Amenities
Manilva's demographic structure has evolved rapidly alongside its housing sector. The municipal roll has expanded by 25.2 per cent over the past decade to reach 18,044 officially registered residents. Foreign nationals account for roughly 39 per cent of the community, with British expats comprising one in every three international citizens settled in the area. Buyers seeking modern off-plan opportunities along this stretch of coast frequently liaise with specialists such as Marbella New Homes to evaluate evolving master plans and secure early-stage pricing before structural works commence.
The upcoming Grand Bay scheme aims to capitalise on the quiet lifestyle offerings anchored by Punta Chullera, the family-friendly beaches around Cala Sardina, and the leisure facilities surrounding Puerto de la Duquesa. The development will offer extensive private terraces, communal swimming facilities, and select ground-floor garden residences and upper-level solariums designed for both primary relocations and year-round second homes.
