Description of the property for sale Be Grand El Limonar is a luxury residential development in one of Málaga’s most desirable districts, between Paseo de Salvador Rueda and calle Ramal de Monte Sancha. Here, historic architecture and contemporary design come together in a carefully planned complex that respects protected buildings while introducing modern luxury living.
The project comprises five buildings, each with its own personality. Edificio Alcazaba, at calle Salvador Rueda 13, has been completely refurbished, inside and out, to create four spacious three-bedroom homes. Residents of this building enjoy access to the shared facilities of Be Grand El Limonar, as well as a rooftop with pool and chill-out area reserved for Alcazaba, plus five parking spaces on the ground floor, part of the total of nineteen spaces in the complex.
Next door, Edificio Catedral at calle Salvador Rueda 15 is the oldest historic villa of the ensemble, originally designed in 1939 by architect Antonio Rubio Torres. This sloping-plot villa has been converted into three exclusive dwellings. The first-floor and penthouse units stand out for their views and orientation, complemented by privileged outdoor areas. Inside, the refurbishment has preserved distinctive elements such as carved wooden doors, hydraulic floor tiles, decorative wrought ironwork, exterior carpentry and characteristic wooden bay windows, creating an elegant blend of heritage and contemporary comfort.
Edificio Teatro Romano, completed in 1948 and also designed by Antonio Rubio Torres, is listed with Architectural Protection Grade I in Málaga’s urban plan. Its façade and internal layout are of particular architectural interest. On the ground floor, arcades with semicircular arches frame open-plan spaces and house three dwellings with one or two bedrooms. On the upper levels there are two single-family homes, each with four bedrooms and a study, large private terraces and direct access from the street. This building also offers five associated storage rooms for its apartments and seven additional independent storage units.
Edificio Muelle Uno, accessed by car and on foot from calle Ramal de Monte Sancha 28 and with pedestrian access from Paseo Salvador Rueda 15, is a new-build block with four modern homes. These residences have between two and three bedrooms and three to four bathrooms or toilets. They stand out for their large terraces and generous private outdoor spaces, which connect seamlessly to the interior via large glazed openings, maximising light and panoramic views. Some units feature private pools and jacuzzis. All residents benefit from the complex’s two panoramic communal pools, rooftop, gym, chill-out and social areas, as well as landscaped green zones and sea views from various points of the development.
Across the entire project, you will find luxury homes with large windows, comfortable and well-proportioned interiors and high-quality finishes. The guiding principle of Be Grand El Limonar is to preserve and enhance historical architecture while offering you the functionality, comfort and aesthetics of a contemporary home just steps from the Mediterranean.
