The Local Government Board of the Elx city council yesterday approved the extraordinary dispatch of the detailed study project for Block 1-2 of Sector AR-1 of Arenales del Sol included in the General Urban Planning Plan.
This is a project presented by the company Miraclot SL, owner of the land near the beach, which contemplates the construction of a hotel complex on a plot of 15,799 square meters. According to the city council, the property will house an apart-hotel with underground parking, six swimming pools, green areas, leisure and restaurant areas and a large spa. Sources from the government team – made up of PP and Vox – point out that by processing the project “the aim is to promote tourism in the area and attract more visitors to the municipality.”
The complex will have a constructed area between basements and ground level of 16,116 square meters. A maximum of six buildings in total are planned, with a maximum height of three floors for buildings facing Albacete Street, and a ground floor for those facing the Clot de Galvany natural landscape area.
Initially, the project includes around 200 one- and two-bedroom apartments. The first of them will have a Junior Suite room, that is, a large bedroom where there will be a bed, a sofa area, a small kitchen, a bathroom and a terrace. In the two-bedroom apartments, they will be independent and will also have a living room, kitchen, two bathrooms and a terrace.
The estimated budget of the project will be above 16 million euros, as calculated by the owner company. The urban planning process is in the preliminary phase, it must go on public exhibition. Given the precedents, it is foreseeable that environmental organizations will oppose the plan, given that the Clot is an area with the presence of threatened birds,?such as the gray teal, and the urban pressure already exerted by the Gran Alacant macro-urbanization is already intense.
