With the recent announcement of a project that will increase the number of subsidised housing units in Alhaurín de la Torre, resulting from the sale of a municipal plot to a developer in Torrealquería, the council has announced a new urban growth that will increase the number of homes in the town. However, for the moment there is no mention of the possibility of facilitating the construction of subsidised units that would allow for more affordable prices.

After receiving final approval from the council plenary, a planning amendment affecting the so-called sector SURO-EN-02 has been approved. This concerns the El Peñón plot, which, although it has the same name, is not related to this neighbourhood. The area in question is located between the El Cordobés and Capellanía developments, to the south of the A-404 road, and covers 115,000 square metres.

The permitted development includes the construction of 196 dwellings and land reserves for public facilities, including more than 30,300 square metres for open areas and green zones, as well as nearly 5,800 square metres for facilities.
