About San Lorenzo 52
Four homes, four floors, one lift. San Lorenzo 52 is more a town building than a residential complex. It stands in the centre of Estepona, close to the town hall, and offers one apartment per floor with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a separate guest WC. So you share the stairs with at most three other owners. At the top is a penthouse with its own rooftop pool and solarium, which according to one portal has already been sold.
Buying here is a conscious choice for town life. There is no communal pool, no garden and no security at a barrier. In return, you walk to the centre in 4 minutes and to the supermarket in 3. According to the description, the first-floor home comes with a small inner patio. The design combines classic elements in the façade with a contemporary interior, so the building blends in with the surrounding streets.
The home we can currently offer is on the first floor: 76 m² built with a 7 m² terrace, for €699,000. Other portals mention slightly different floor areas and also show an apartment on the third floor. With so few homes, availability can change quickly, so feel free to ask us for the latest position.
Amenities
- Lift to all floors
- Guest WC in every home
- Private terrace
- Inner patio on the first floor
- Video entry phone
- Pre-installation for an EV charging point
- Shops and beach on foot
San Lorenzo 52 in figures
Here you need to do the sums honestly. At €9,197 per m², San Lorenzo 52 is no less than 83% above the average new build in Estepona (€5,038) and also 83% above resale homes (€5,021). It is one of the most expensive developments per m² in the municipality. At the same time it has the smallest outdoor space: 9% of the living area, the lowest of all new builds in Estepona, with a 7 m² terrace. The €699,000 apartment costs around €789,988 with all taxes and costs. Completion is 20 months away, against an average of 8 months. So you are paying mainly for location and scale, not for space.

Location
The centre of Estepona has been extensively upgraded in recent years, with plenty of greenery in the streets, flowerpots on the façades and a renovated promenade. This building sits just 9 metres above sea level, in the middle of the lived-in town, within walking distance of the old quarter with its little squares, terraces and markets. It is a neighbourhood where Spaniards live all year round, which makes a big difference in winter compared with resorts that go quiet after the summer.
In daily life you do not really need a car. Carrefour Market is a 3-minute walk away, the centre 4 minutes. You walk to La Rada beach in 14 minutes, and a secondary school is 16 minutes on foot. Estepona hospital is an 8-minute drive. Puerto Banús is 21 minutes by car, Gibraltar airport 43 minutes and Málaga's 61 minutes.
We will send you the exact location and the address of the sales office when you request Privé access or book a viewing.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 7:02 on 21 June and sets at 21:41, giving 14.6 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. San Lorenzo 52 sits at around 9 metres above sea level.
Sea views are not confirmed. The building stands between other buildings in town, so the outlook is mainly urban. We check floor by floor how much light and sun your terrace gets.
Homes and finishes
The homes come with a fully fitted kitchen with appliances, hot water from aerothermal energy and inverter air conditioning with heating. Double glazing and insulation keep out heat and town noise. The bathrooms have walk-in showers with thermostatic taps. There is pre-installation for charging an electric car. Our data shows energy rating B. With a town building we pay extra attention to sound insulation between floors and towards the street, and we check whether a parking space or storage room comes with your home, because that is not standard.
Payment schedule
As with most new builds on the Costa del Sol, you pay in instalments: a reservation deposit, a portion on signing the purchase contract and during construction, and the balance at the deed signing. Every payment before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for San Lorenzo 52 through Privé.

Our honest verdict on San Lorenzo 52
Strengths
- Everything on foot: supermarket 3 minutes, centre 4 minutes' walk.
- Just four homes, one per floor, so very few neighbours.
- Lively Spanish town that stays lived in during the winter too.
- Modern systems such as aerothermal energy, inverter air conditioning and EV charging pre-installation.
- Every home has 2 bathrooms plus a separate guest WC.
Points to consider
- Price per m² is 83% above the average for new builds in Estepona.
- Very limited outdoor space: a 7 m² terrace, the lowest share in the municipality.
- No communal pool, garden or other facilities in the building.
- Completion not until June 2028, so a 20-month wait.
- Parking is not included as standard, a real point of attention in the town centre.
Who is San Lorenzo 52 right for?
San Lorenzo 52 suits buyers who want to experience Estepona as a town and walk to the baker, market and beach every day. Think of winter residents without a car, or anyone looking for a town apartment that is alive in every season. It is less suitable for those who expect plenty of outdoor space, a pool or a green garden, or who are focused on rental yield per m². Estepona has better options for that.
