Alongside the development of Tyrian Residences, a broader urban transformation is taking shape along Avenida Litoral, on the eastern edge of Estepona. Beyond the residential building itself, the project accompanies the creation of 20,000 square metres of new public green space, conceived as a long-term contribution to the city.
This intervention brings together a network of open, walkable and landscaped public areas designed to improve one of Estepona’s main access points. Spaces for walking, staying and everyday use are being created as part of a continuous green system open to the community.
The project includes the Smart Boulevard, an 8,000 m² landscaped public corridor, together with a 12,000 m² multi-purpose park, a dog park and the reorganisation of the Carrefour–La Cala stretch. What was previously a fragmented, car-oriented area is being reconfigured into a coherent public environment shaped by landscape, mobility and safety.
The Smart Boulevard is currently in an active construction phase. Creating a green public space takes time, particularly when working with living systems. Trees, soil and root structures require careful handling and precise sequencing. At certain stages, the process can appear uncomfortable when observed in isolation.
All landscaping and tree transplantation works are being carried out by Agrojardín Landscaping, a specialised company with experience in large-scale urban and botanical projects. The process follows strict botanical protocols and is executed under technical and municipal supervision, with a clear focus on care, continuity and long-term performance.
The Smart Boulevard also integrates discreet technology focused on safety and everyday comfort. Sound-absorbing asphalt helps reduce traffic noise, while adaptive, speed-sensitive lighting improves visibility and pedestrian safety by adjusting intensity according to traffic conditions and minimising visual impact and energy use.
Urban projects of this scale take time. Working with living systems means accepting phases that can feel uncomfortable when seen in isolation. What is taking place today is part of a necessary process to build a greener, more balanced public environment for the future. The Smart Boulevard is being constructed with that long-term perspective in mind, prioritising continuity, care and lasting value over immediacy.
Below, we address some of the most common questions about how the Smart Boulevard is being built.
Questions & Answers
What is Tyrian Residences' Smart Boulevard?
The Smart Boulevard is an 8,000 m² landscaped public corridor running along Avenida Litoral, integrated into the façade of Tyrian Residences. It is designed as a walkable, shaded and accessible green space, open to the community of Estepona and conceived for everyday use.
What existed on this site before?
The area now occupied by the Smart Boulevard was previously used as surface parking. The project transforms that strip into a green, transitable public space that prioritises pedestrians, comfort and urban continuity.
Who is Tyrian's Smart Boulevard for?
The Smart Boulevard is a public space. It is open to residents, neighbours and visitors, and functions independently of the residential building. Its role is to improve the public realm along one of Estepona’s main access points.
What does the Smart Boulevard include?
The corridor incorporates shaded pedestrian paths, areas for pause and meeting, and a landscaped edge that separates traffic from public life.
The planting design includes trees, palms, shrubs, grasses and perennial species selected for their adaptation to the coastal environment and low water requirements. Tree coverage increases across the corridor, creating shade, comfort and visual continuity along Avenida Litoral.
What makes this a “smart” boulevard?
The Smart Boulevard integrates pedestrian-first planning, traffic-calming strategies and speed-control measures designed to reduce vehicle impact and improve safety.
Sound-absorbing asphalt limits acoustic impact, while speed-sensitive lighting systems respond to traffic behaviour, enhancing pedestrian visibility and reinforcing calmer driving without relying on intrusive signage.
What is happening to the existing trees in Estepona?
Several mature trees located along Avenida Litoral, including three large ficus specimens, are being professionally transplanted within the same urban area.
This step allows access points to be reorganised and pedestrian safety to be improved. The trees remain part of the urban system and are relocated to suitable positions within the boulevard.
Why does the tree transplantation process take time?
Tree transplantation involves working with living systems. Roots, soil structure and plant health require preparation, controlled extraction, relocation and post-transplant monitoring to support adaptation over time.
This sequence cannot be rushed. Some stages may appear uncomfortable when viewed in isolation, but they are part of a precise technical process designed to ensure continuity and long-term viability.
Who is carrying out these works?
All landscaping and tree transplantation works are being executed by Agrojardín Landscaping, following strict botanical protocols and under technical and municipal supervision. The process prioritises care, precision and long-term performance.
Is this a short-term intervention?
No. The Smart Boulevard is designed as long-term urban green infrastructure. It is conceived to age well, adapt to use and remain part of Estepona’s public space over decades.
What does this project say about the Tyrian approach?
Tyrian Residences was designed with a clear relationship to its surroundings. The Smart Boulevard reflects an approach based on responsibility, proportion and permanence, extending the project’s scope beyond the building itself and into the city it belongs to.
