July 30, 2024.—Culmia, Spain’s leading residential real estate project management platform, is delivering Culmia Harribitxi Donostia, a luxury development located in a historic, renovated building in downtown San Sebastián.

This is an exclusive five-story building comprising 15 luxury apartments with two, three, and four bedrooms, which stand out for their finishes, decor, and the use of high-quality materials. In addition, the apartments include a storage room and a garage with direct access, and the ground floors feature commercial spaces.

This residential complex is one of Culmia’s most unique properties, as it was created through the restoration of a historic building dating from the late 19th century. Its facade has been preserved due to its architectural value, and several elements have been restored to their original condition.

In this development, great attention has been paid to every detail—both in the residences and in the common areas—to ensure harmony with the historic building while also providing comfort and sophistication. The homes have been designed to optimize the use of space and feature décor inspired by geometry and design.

Furthermore, the development, built to the highest efficiency standards, has earned an A energy rating. Various features ensure an ideal and constant temperature in all homes. In addition, the homes are equipped with individual air-source heat pump systems for hot water and low-temperature zoned radiant floor heating . Air conditioning is provided via ducts in the drop ceiling and diffusers in the rooms. All of this is controlled by a programmable digital thermostat with independent zone-by-zone temperature control. Efficient and sustainable ventilation is provided by an air-handling system featuring a dual-flow fan and a heat recovery unit. They also feature double-glazed windows that ensure thermal and acoustic insulation, contributing to energy savings.

The development is located in the so-called “romantic district” of San Sebastián, at Plaza de Guipúzcoa No. 2, on the corner of Calle Elkano. This area is full of historic buildings that have remained virtually unchanged in recent years and features an excellent green space, Plaza Guipúzcoa, which has spacious gardens originally designed by Pierre Ducasse and a central pond.

Located right in the heart of the city, on a block in the historic district, it offers numerous leisure options and all the necessary services within easy reach. It’s also close to nature, as La Concha Beach is just two blocks away, and it’s near the trails leading up to Mount Urgull.

According to Celso Gómez, Culmia’s Regional Director for Central and Northern Spain, “Culmia Harribitxi Donostia is one of our most exclusive developments. Located in a renovated historic building in the heart of San Sebastián, it offers families an excellent and unique opportunity to purchase a new luxury home. This development stands out for its meticulous attention to detail, the use of high-quality materials, and an optimized floor plan, combining the exclusivity of living in a building as iconic as Harribitxi, which is considered the jewel of Donostia.”

The marketing process for this development, carried out by Servicios Inmobiliarios Galdona—a leading real estate firm in the city of Donostia—has also been remarkable. In the words of Mikel Galdona, the manager: “We are very satisfied with the marketing of the development; it has been a complete success, with the entire development now sold out.”

With this major development in San Sebastián—and following projects in prime locations in cities such as Barcelona and Murcia— Culmia continues to focus on the luxury housing segment.
