Médano El Pinar will be nestled behind the dunes of a unique oceanfront location and will feature approximately 120 beach-front units with 1 to 5 bedrooms arranged along the building’s 425-meter length in a terraced, non-overlapping configuration, making each unit feel more like a free-standing house than an apartment.
