Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on one of Malta’s most exclusive real estate sectors — the Special Designated Areas (SDAs). This event will explore the evolution, performance, and future of SDAs and the super-prime residential property in Malta, examining what makes these areas so attractive to developers, investors and residents alike.

Our panel of seasoned experts will revisit the history of SDAs, dissect design and development trends, and assess how new projects like Mercury Towers, Verdala Terraces, The Shoreline, and the DB Development are shaping the next chapter in luxury real estate.
