The design will be carried out by the prestigious L35 firm of architects, y está coordinado por la empresa “3.14, Gestión y Arquitectura”, company, responsible for Project Management and coordination of work in the area between quays 1 and 2.
The building work of this forthcoming commercial and leisure area

The completion date of the building work is planned for the end of 2009.

New access to the Eastern Dock and completion of the marina
In April 2008 and after public competition, the Administrative Board of the Málaga Port Authority decided to restructure access to the Eastern Dock and complete the Marina, awarding the project to the Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas company.
The budget granted amounts to 12.900.000 €. The deadline for carrying out the work is 24 months, according to guidelines laid down when the competition was announced.
The above will be carried out with the aim of facilitating communications from the new Passenger terminal and the future marina as well as improving facilities which will house the Eastern Dock marina.
This marina will relieve the high demand for moorings which the province receives today, and will be complemented by the marina and dry stack boat storage area planned for the San Andrés area. The managing company of the Eastern marina will be decided by public competition.
North Berth
The construction of the second berth that will serve the passenger terminal will start opertations in the spring of 2009, connecting through a gateway to the building of the Eastern Maritime Passenger Terminal. The budget amounts to 10.848.000 €.
