Ausiàs March 49

A spectacular new development in Barcelona’s Eixample region including three or four bedroom apartments for sale.

The building has a first floor apartment with terraces and a pool, a further ten apartments on the next five floors and a stunning duplex penthouse on the top two floors. This penthouse suite has two wonderful terraces with a jacuzzi and unbeatable views over the city. Covered parking is also available in the building.

Each apartment in this superbly renovated building  has been carefully designed by GCA Architects, using the best of modern design and new technology. The apartments boast natural oak floors, fully fitted kitchens with state-of-the-art appliances and white marble countertops and pre-installed telecommunications amongst other things.

The comfortable apartments start at 125m2 and range up to 294m2. The building has high ceilings with large windows allowing plentiful natural light to flood into the apartments. The developments proximity to Plaça Catalunya means it is incredibly well connected to the entire city, many of Barcelona’s main beaches and the Marina Port Vell. The apartments are just an 18 minute drive (12.5km) to Barcelona airport making them a wonderfully connected location.

Barcelona is Spain’s second city and by far its most international, perfectly caught between the Mediterranean Sea and the Montserrat Mountains. It’s a business centre, a tourism hub and a classy working city with an easy mix of designer shops and charming, low-key chirunguitos – beach bars.

Modernist Eixample is prime Barcelona, where apartments in high ceilinged buildings built around wide, square courtyards provide a cool respite from the Catalan summer heat. Eixample links the family-friendly residential areas close to the mountains - Turo Park and nearby Sarria for example - with El Born or El Barrio Gotico, the Gothic and Roman Centro Historico close to the sea.

Hop on the AVE high-speed train and the cultured cathedral city of Girona is within 40 minutes. The city is a foodie’s delight with some of Europe’s most acclaimed restaurants. Twenty minutes away PGA Catalunya is an award-winning golf course where cool, contemporary architecture replaces the more predictable Spanish golf villa design.

Head a little further north, still within ninety minutes of Barcelona, and the Costa Brava begins in earnest. From Blanes to Begur this is arguably Spain’s loveliest costa, featuring heavily wooded hills and pine trees dropping down to shaded bays. Prime beaches include Aigua Blava, Sa Tuna and Sa Riera.
