Madeleine was just three when she went missing from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on May 3 2007 as her parents, Kate and Gerry, dined at a nearby tapas restaurant with friends.
It is understood that forensic evidence from the freshly identified apartments is now being examined alongside evidence from the accommodation where Madeleine and her family were staying.
According to Sky News, the development was revealed by Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan in a new edition of their book Looking for Madeleine.

Mr Summers is quoted as saying: 'Our source told us that after stumbling across 18 burglaries last year, they have now discovered a total of 28 in the area of Praia da Luz in the years around 2007 when Madeleine disappeared.
'It gives them a much better chance of matching evidence against forensics from the McCann apartment.
'I was told there was great sensitivity around this forensic testing, nobody wants to discuss it, but they are making progress and believe the case is solvable.'
It comes as Kate McCann restated her desire to continue the search for her daughter.
She spoke as she announced that she will lead a 500-mile (805km) bike ride from Edinburgh to London in June to raise £10,000 for a missing persons charity.

Mrs McCann, who is fundraising for Missing People, of which she is an ambassador, said: 'As the eighth anniversary of our daughter Madeleine's abduction is upon us, I'm more driven than ever to continue the search for Madeleine and to help other families who face the pain of a child being missing. All of us can play a part in helping this important charity.'
She will lead 20 cyclists on a Cycle Challenge starting at Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh's landmark hill, on June 13. They will then take in Newcastle, York, Nottingham and Northampton before finishing at the Tower of London on June 17.
Madeleine's disappearance is one of the most famous missing persons cases of all time.
Last week her parents won a libel payout against Portuguese detective Goncalo Amaral, who had been on trial over claims he made in a book and a documentary that the couple were involved in Madeleine's disappearance in Praia da Luz.
In a written verdict, a Lisbon court agreed that Mr Amaral should pay Mr and Mrs McCann 250,000 euros (£179,000) each in damages and it banned further sales of his book, The Truth Of The Lie.
British police officers spent eight days searching three areas of land in Praia da Luz last June, close to where Madeleine disappeared, but found no new evidence.

The Metropolitan Police launched their own operation in 2011.
On the official Find Madeleine Campaign, her parents wrote of the pain they feel eight years after her disappearance.
They wrote: 'Eight years. There's no gentle way of putting it. Whilst most days, weeks and months are fairly similar - Madeleine is missed every day - this time of year cuts deep as it's a harsh reminder of time having passed and precious years with Madeleine lost.
'Without a shadow of doubt, the love, support, help and prayers that we continue to receive from so many people, in spite of the years which have gone by, encourages us, maintains our hope and lifts our spirits.
'We are also buoyed and reassured by the unwavering commitment and continued progress being made in the investigation.
'We are really grateful to the Metropolitan Police team for their conscientiousness, patience, consideration shown to us and above all, their will to find Madeleine and determine what has happened.'
