Paramount Studios Murcia

Paramount Pictures have agreed a deal to open its first theme park in Europe, to be located in Murcia, Spain, which will create thousands of jobs.

In a statement, Paramount Licensing said it “will not be an investor in the project but will licence intellectual property from its vast library of films and provide conceptual master planning and design for the project.”

The Spanish press are estimating that Paramount’s planned theme park in Murcia will create around 20,000 jobs and will attract nearly three million visitors each year.

This is great news for owners of property at Corvera Golf Resort as the proposed site for the Paramount theme park is Alhama De Murcia which is less than 30 minutes drive from Corvera (and could be closer if the road network is improved further. The opening of such an important theme park is bound to improve the rental demand for properties in the vicinity and in the longer term increase property values.
