The approval from Patrimonio allows for the tender of the construction contract to renovate the historic cenobite and its surroundings. This project, announced in 2021 with an expected completion in 2025, has faced significant delays, as the work should have been finished a year ago.

The initial budget, set at 18.4 million euros five years ago, has not been updated by the Junta, although an increase is anticipated due to the rising cost of materials, particularly after the war in Ukraine.

Since the Trinidad Convent became property of the Junta de Andalucía in 2005, various proposals for its use have been considered, including a fairy tale park, the headquarters of the Provincial Library, an international center for cave art, or a museum of industrial design and architecture. The mayor of Málaga has consistently expressed interest in the space housing a museum, specifically the city's archaeological museum.

The rehabilitation project includes a comprehensive study of the property, declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1980 and a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) five years later. It will involve a diagnosis of its current state, a proposed action plan, and a maintenance program, ensuring that construction methods are compatible with the building's tradition.

In addition to restoring the original building, which will house exhibition halls and multipurpose spaces for performing arts, music, and literary activities, a new semi-underground building is planned. This will connect the convent with the Provincial Historical Archive of Málaga, also a BIC, and will host the Intermediate Provincial Archive, the first of its kind in Andalucía.

The public space surrounding the cenobite, built between the 15th and 16th centuries, will be designed to recreate the convent's old orchard, featuring a garden and medicinal orchard at the cultural center's entrance, and seasonal orchard species in the northern area, linking the site to its agricultural history.
