I notice that "minimal distance to the noisy N332" is missing!

On a positive note, it's an eyesore of a building site which hopefully will improve with occupancy, & will benefit the local economyWhilst not always trying to be pessimistic, im struggling to see any positive points. They will favour the holiday home short rental market so will spend a lot of the year empty, the occupants will add to the seasonal congestion on the roads and beaches, shops etc. Any money generated IVA goes to central goverment, yearly income ie suma will go straight into the coffers of santa pola council with little being reinvested back into GA. So if anyone can give a factual positive benefit that will enhance GA then fire away.

Are we talking about this lot?

Hi both
Yes, but that is a very old Google shot!
I agree they are not the most attractive looking, but it is good to see them finally being worked on rather than the eyesore they have been for the past few years 8)

Increased trade for local businesses?
Bert
Its a good point Bert, but the reality is that GA has an oversupply of local businesses already, with many competing to the bottom and subsequent closures.So where does it all end, more developments equals more new businesses all scrabbling around trying to make a living equals more closures, more grand openings, more under new management. Personally i think GA is way to big already and is fast becoming another urban sprawl, the best outcome would be to bulldoze these apartments and return the land to nature or agriculture.

More people means more money into local restaurants bars shops and other infrastructure so that can only be a good thing as hopefully a few more will survive
I don’t think anyone can complain about the size of GA we all knew what the long term development plan was when we bought we were shown it when we bought over 17 years ago and if anything it’s not as far advanced as it should be by now

Regarding urban sprawl GA is nothing compared with Los Arenales - the view coming along the coast road or down cardiac hill is an eyesore of what seems to be completely uncoordinated and unsympathetic developments the like of which I thought passed away 10 -15 years ago.

Add in the fact that it is close to quite a few upmarket new and new-ish properties.
They are also in a layout style that is more common up and down the coast.....if 'A place in the sun' is to be believed.

Seem to be working hard on the aesthetics, mature palm trees were being planted yesterday.

Got to say they look a lot better than the estate agents photograph depicts them, they are giving the exteriors a lick of paint and doing some landscaping
Wouldn’t be my cup of tea, but it’ll suite plenty and end up being their much loved bolt hole in the sun
