About Unique
Pedregalejo is where Málaga meets the sea: old fishermen's cottages, beach restaurants and a promenade where the whole city seems to turn out in the evening. New builds are scarce here, and houses with their own ground even more so. Unique has just 8 terraced houses, built around their own covered inner patio. That traditional Andalusian patio concept gets a modern twist, with light reaching the heart of the home through the patio.
Our data includes two homes. The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house measures 286 m² built, of which 227 m² usable, with 87 m² of terrace, for €1,775,000. The 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom house measures 396 m² built, 331 m² usable, with 117 m² of terrace, for €2,475,000. Both have 2 parking spaces.
The layout is clear. The basement holds the garage, a laundry room and a large storage room. On the ground floor are the living and dining room, the fitted kitchen, the covered patio, a small garden and a guest WC. The bedrooms are upstairs, with an en-suite bathroom. Right at the top is a private roof terrace pre-installed for an outdoor kitchen and an awning. There is no pool, not even a communal one.

Unique in figures
At €6,228 per m², Unique sits exactly on the median for new builds in Málaga (€6,228, 9 developments). Compared with resale homes in Málaga (€3,969 per m², idealista, September 2026) you pay 57% more, but a new house with its own ground and garage within walking distance of the beach is almost impossible to find on Pedregalejo's resale market. For the €1,775,000 3-bedroom house, budget around €2,005,900 all in: €177,500 VAT, €21,300 stamp duty, €10,600 notary and €21,500 lawyer. Stepping up to 4 bedrooms costs €700,000, but you also get 110 m² more built area and an extra bathroom. Completion in December 2026 is not far off.

Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 56% of new developments in Málaga. Largest outdoor space: 117 m².
Planned completion December 2026. For half of the new developments in Málaga, completion is within 5 months.
Calculated by Imagine Marbella on 20 October 2026 from the current supply of 9 new developments in Málaga and the average asking price of resale homes in Málaga according to Idealista, September 2026. Costs are an estimate; we will prepare an exact calculation for you.
Location
Pedregalejo is in the east of Málaga, between La Malagueta and El Palo. The district has kept its fishing heritage in the low houses along the water and the restaurants where sardines are grilled over a wood fire. It is a sought-after, established residential area: quieter than the centre, but with everything nearby. The development is at around 17 metres above sea level, so you reach the beach and the promenade without climbing. In summer, though, the promenade gets busy.
Here you live largely on foot. Las Acacias beach is a 9-minute walk, Carrefour Express 10 minutes, as is Hospital San Francisco de Asís. By car you are at The British School of Málaga in 8 minutes and El Candado golf club in 6 minutes. The centre of Málaga is a 12-minute drive, the airport 25 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 6:58 on 21 June and sets at 21:39, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.6 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Unique sits at around 17 metres above sea level.
Sea views are not confirmed. The homes are at 17 metres above sea level among other buildings; the roof terrace offers the most light and open views, and we check exactly what you can see from there for each home.
Homes and finishes
The kitchens are fitted with appliances. Hot water comes from an aerothermal system, and the homes get integrated climate control and photovoltaic panels. Also included: pre-installation for a private lift, charging points for electric cars and bikes, and plenty of storage space. The development has energy rating A. As completion is close, you will soon be able to see the homes for real. We check the building specification, the bank guarantee on your stage payments and, later on, the first occupancy licence.
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 Unique through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Unique
Strengths
- New houses with their own ground in Pedregalejo, with the beach a 9-minute walk away.
- Just 8 homes, each with its own patio, roof terrace and garage for 2 cars.
- Price per m² exactly on the median for new builds in Málaga.
- Completion planned for December 2026, so very soon.
- Energy rating A, solar panels, aerothermal system and charging points.
Points to consider
- No pool, not even a communal one, which is unusual in this price bracket.
- No confirmed sea views despite the location close to the beach.
- Living over four levels; the lift is only provided as a pre-installation.
- The 4 bedrooms cost €700,000 more than the 3-bedroom version.
- Other sources show a different number of homes and energy rating; have it checked.
Who is Unique right for?
Unique suits buyers who want to live in Málaga itself, as a family or a couple, and do the city and the beach on foot. The international school an 8-minute drive away makes it interesting for families relocating. It is less suitable if you expect a pool, sea views or a quiet residential estate, or if you prefer living on one level.
Why buy through Imagine Marbella?
With us you pay exactly the same price as buying direct from the developer. Our fee is paid by the seller, not by you. What you get on top is what makes the difference.
- Independent. We are not tied to any development. We compare the entire market and tell you honestly when a project is not right for you.
- Stronger at the negotiating table. Whenever there is room to negotiate, on price, payment schedule, finishes or a parking space, we know the market, the sales figures and the developers. We defend your interests; the seller defends theirs.
- Free extra services. We check licences, bank guarantees and specifications, provide legal support in your own language and plan viewings around your travel dates.
- Beyond the handover. We follow the construction, the handover and the after-sales with you, so you are never on your own.
Off market: what you will not find online
Not every property on the Costa del Sol ends up on a website.
Owners who want to sell discreetly, a last penthouse that has not yet been released, a villa that only comes onto the market when the right buyer appears: part of the market changes hands without a single advert. Already know the market and looking for something you cannot find online? Tell us as precisely as possible what you are looking for. If it exists, we will find it for you.

Frequently asked questions about Unique
Do the Unique homes have a pool?
No. There is no private pool and no communal pool either. Instead you get a covered patio, a small garden and a roof terrace pre-installed for an outdoor kitchen. The beach is a 9-minute walk away.
How far is Unique from the centre of Málaga?
The centre is a 12-minute drive. By our measurement, Málaga airport is 25 minutes away. For everyday life, you have everything within walking distance in Pedregalejo itself.
When will Unique be completed?
Completion is planned for December 2026. We recommend inspecting the home with us at handover and checking the first occupancy licence before the final payment.
Are there new builds for sale in Pedregalejo?
Very few. Pedregalejo is an established district with limited building land. With 8 homes, Unique is one of the few developments offering houses with their own ground within walking distance of the beach.
Do I pay more if I buy Unique through Imagine Marbella?
No. You pay the same price as buying directly from the seller. Through us you also get independent advice, legal guidance and aftercare.
What costs come on top of the price of a new-build home?
In Andalusia, a new build carries 10% VAT (IVA) and 1.2% stamp duty (AJD), plus notary, land registry and lawyer's fees. For the most affordable home in Unique, that adds up to around 13.0%.
