CHARACTERISTICS OF THE URBANISATION
The construction of Las Lomas del Marques began in 2004 and was completed in 2006. The complex was built on 40,000 square metres of land situated on high ground, which gives it magnificent views.
Las Lomas del Marques was a project designed by Hugo Torrico, a member of the Villarroel Torrico studio, authors of projects such as the Hotel Puente Romano, Marina de Puente Romano, Marbella Club Hotel and Kempiski Resort & Spa.
Its style could be called Mediterranean Marbella as it is characterised by the predominance of white with the dark wood of its pergolas and the asymmetry of its buildings.
The apartment complex consists of 107 apartments, 83 with two bedrooms and 24 with three bedrooms, distributed in nine blocks of two staircases each. The size of the flats ranges between 100 and 150 square metres and their terraces between 25 and 60 square metres, with the exception of the 35 duplex penthouses which have terraces of more than 100 square metres.

MY OPINION
Las Lomas del Marques is a complex that we work with and I have known since its beginnings. The timeless style of its architecture, as well as its geographical location and elevated plot give it characteristics that are certainly not so easy to find.
The spaciousness of the complex is also a point in its favour, as the plot on which the development is situated is very large, which means that almost all the properties have unobstructed views and are very bright. In addition, its elevated position and its single driveway give it an air of majesty and additional privacy.
Over the years the area has been consolidated, numerous villas have been built around it, most of them in the same contemporary style, and services have been installed which have made the area of Capanes Sur and La Alqueria an increasingly sought after area.
Of course, if you are looking for an area to live all year round away from the noise but at the same time close to everything, Las Lomas del Marques is undoubtedly a good option.
