The Reserve is a landmark high-rise residential development that will deliver 115 apartments, ranging from stylish one-bedroom homes to expansive six-bedroom residences. Together, the two distinct blocks create 13,100 m² of thoughtfully designed living space and 4,100 m² of private terraces, setting a new benchmark for contemporary urban living in Gibraltar.
The North Block comprises five levels of secure parking topped by nine floors of apartments, while the South Block makes a striking architectural statement, elevated above the historic water tanks through an innovative system of spanning beams. This engineering solution preserves and celebrates the site’s heritage while unlocking nine levels of premium residential space.
The design is guided by three core principles: preserving the historic water tanks, blending seamlessly with the adjacent Nature Reserve, and minimising the visual impact on Alameda Gardens. Natural materials such as timber-effect cladding, a rear green wall, and integrated planting reinforce the connection with the landscape, while careful massing ensures the development respects its unique setting.
Residents are invited to experience The Reserve through its spectacular surroundings. The elevated Resort Deck features an organic pool, lush planting, and curated leisure amenities that merge the atmosphere of a private retreat with sweeping views of the Bay of Gibraltar, the Mediterranean Sea, and Morocco. Additional wellness facilities—including an indoor pool, sauna, and gym—complement the resort lifestyle, encouraging relaxation, community, and wellbeing.
Sustainability and biodiversity are at the heart of the scheme. A biodiversity roof, with soil depths of up to 600 mm, supports native flora and ecological continuity between the Nature Reserve and Alameda Gardens. Swift and bat boxes, a falcon nest, and bee hotels encourage wildlife, while integrated greenery and energy-efficient design strategies ensure a future-ready, environmentally responsible development.
The Reserve exemplifies the fusion of ambitious architecture, ecological sensitivity, and lifestyle-focused design, establishing itself as Gibraltar’s most forward-looking residential landmark.
