Cívitas enters Andalusia strongly and to do so, it has reached an agreement with Puerto Banús to form an alliance to jointly develop luxury real estate projects with the highest degree of sustainability.Within this agreement, Cívitas has acquired one of the few urban lands in the Los Rodeos area, owned by Puerto Banús, located in Marbella 600 meters from the marina. In the future, the construction of luxury homes that will have exclusive services is being considered: Mooring in Cívitas Puerto Banús, access to VIP parking, access to boats, etc. Additionally, Cívitas, in association with Puerto Banús, plans to develop other developments in Marbella, Mijas and Estepona. Within this alliance, Cívitas acquires the naming rights, for a period of 5 years. Thus, our marina is renamed CÍVITAS PUERTO BANÚS. Puerto Banús is the first marina in the world to commercialise its “naming rights” and, as a result, we enter the league of sports facilities and entertainment centers with naming rights with commercial appeal due to the volume of visits, interest, positioning and values. This market, widespread in other countries such as the United States, has been developing in Europe in recent years with operations such as the sponsorship of Emirates Airlines with the Arsenal FC stadium or Etihad Airlines with the Manchester City stadium. In Spain, the sponsorship agreements of La Liga Santander, the Spotify Camp Nou stadium or the Cívitas Metropolitano stadium of Atlético de Madrid are known. The investments that Cívitas will undertake in all of these projects will exceed 80 million euros in 5 years. In addition to the synergies between two companies that lead leading projects in terms of sustainability, they will jointly explore the development of new luxury marinas in Andalusia and other luxury projects in coastal municipalities.
