Interview to J. Gaspar LinoLEGAL AND FINANCE SECTION 07-08/2006

General Director of Peninsula Project Management

Where2 caught up with J. Gaspar Lino,

General Director at Spanish Development

Company Peninsula to find out more

about its projects in Andalucía and in

particular its emergence into the Real

Estate market in Granada. With over

30 years experience in real estate and

property development mainly in Southern

Spain, Peninsula has successfully developed,

marketed and sold projects of apartments,

commercial business centres and

luxury villas.

W2 – Tell us a little about your projects

for the province of Granada,

Peninsula – Well, we are developing

various projects mainly in Medina Elvira,

a fantastic Golf resort featuring an 18-

hole golf course & exclusive club house.

It includes luxury boutique hotel & spa,

shopping arcade, sports and leisure

centre, horse riding centre and just a

stone´s throw away from Cubillas Lake

with all sorts of lakesides activities. We

are currently promoting Medina Elvira

3 projects of apartments and penthouses

offering a wide variety of apartments

types including state-of-the-art features

and panoramic views over the Golf

course and Sierra Nevada.

W2 – Why did you choose that part

of the province?

Peninsula – As a forward th ink ing

company, Peninsula always anticipates

market development in new areas.

Granada, Spain´s most historic city, has

a huge potential with Spain´s best ski

resort near by, two UNESCO world

heritage sites (Al hambra palace and

Albaycin), a stunning city centre, a

fantastic range of superb restaurants

and tapas bars and of course the

airport with international flights connections

to most major European cities.

W2 – So what are the benefits of

investing in your projects?

Peninsula – When it comes to investments,

location, quality and market are three

key points to consider. Medina Elvira

Golf is strategically located only 10

minutes from Granada´s airport and city

centre, 25 minutes from Sierra Nevada

ski resort and 35 minutes from Costa

Tropical. Also the plot is located within

walking distance of Cubillas Lake in an

unspoilt area with dramatic scenery and

views from any of the projects.

When we create a new project our

clients always come first, meaning that

the quality of the properties, the payment

te rms and se r v i ces o f fe red a re

unbeatable. From an investment point

of view the potential buyer would rather

purchase a property that ticks all these

boxes. What we have become saturated

with property meaning that the offer is

higher than the demand. Our projects

in Granada are absolutely unique to

the area and this makes Medina Elvira

a very secure and exciting investment

opportunity.
