Benidorm is poised to undergo a major transformation with the approval of its largest urban plan to date. The partial Ensanche Levante plan covers an area of 575,370 square metres, of neglected and degraded land. This will give way to the construction of 20 hotels, more than 2,300 homes and three shopping centres in the Armanello district. As a result, turning this area into a thriving hub of activity. The project, which has been in the works for many years, has finally received the green light from the plenary session, allowing developers to move forward. The plan will see the construction of 780 apartments and also 1,564 residential homes. The new apartment blocks with have a minimum construction height of 20 stories bringing them in line with the area and maximising the land available for construction. There will also be large allocated green areas with public spaces, bicycle and footpaths, with sports and outdoor recreational activities to suit all.
