New Construction in Torrevieja – Modern Homes on the Southern Costa Blanca

Are you looking for new construction in Torrevieja? Then you’re choosing one of the largest and most international coastal cities on the Southern Costa Blanca, with beaches, shops, restaurants, medical facilities, and various residential neighborhoods that are enjoyed year-round.

Torrevieja offers a wide range of modern homes. Depending on the current project, you can search for, among other things:

newly built apartments;
penthouses with a terrace or solarium;
bungalows;
townhouses;
modern villas;
homes with a shared pool;
and single-family homes with private pools.

That makes Torrevieja an attractive option for a second home, a permanent residence, or an investment.

Check out our current selection of new-construction homes and the available new-construction projects.

Why Buy a New Home in Torrevieja?

Torrevieja combines new construction with an established city that offers a wide range of amenities year-round.

You live nearby:

the beach;
boulevard;
stores;
supermarkets;
restaurants;
medical facilities;
sport;
nature areas;
and the salt lakes of Torrevieja and La Mata.

This can be practical for permanent residents, while buyers of second homes may find the combination of the beach, amenities, and accessibility particularly appealing.

Buying a New-Construction Apartment in Torrevieja

A large portion of the new construction market consists of apartments.

Depending on the project, you may have access to, for example:

patio or balcony;
communal swimming pool;
parking lot;
salvage;
lift;
landscaped common areas;
and sometimes additional amenities such as a fitness center or spa.

Not every project has the same facilities.

That is why, when comparing properties, it is important to consider not only the purchase price, but also the annual community fees and what those fees cover.

Penthouse in Torrevieja

Penthouses are popular because of their outdoor space.

For example, they may have access to:

large terrace;
private tanning salon;
ocean view;
outdoor kitchen;
or extra storage space.

Be sure to always check which items are actually included in the sale price.

For example, an outdoor kitchen, pergola, or hot tub that you see in a rendering may be optional.

Newly Built Bungalow in Torrevieja

Bungalows are also common in new construction projects on the Southern Costa Blanca.

Such a project often consists of:

ground-floor apartments with a garden or terrace;
and upstairs apartments with balconies and sun decks.

For people who want more outdoor space than a traditional apartment offers but don't need a large villa, this could be an interesting middle ground.

Buy a New-Construction Villa in Torrevieja

If you're looking for more privacy and outdoor space, you might want to consider a modern villa.

Depending on the location and the project, a villa may feature:

own lot;
private pool;
parking space;
patio;
solarium;
multiple bedrooms;
and a modern open-concept living space.

But even with villas, there is a wide variation in what is included as standard.

How are new construction projects in Torrevieja handed over?

There is no standard move-in package for all new homes in Torrevieja.

Exactly what you will receive is described in the memoria de calidades, the project's technical specifications.

Therefore, always check carefully:

kitchen;
kitchen appliances;
bathrooms;
air conditioning;
lighting;
roller shutters;
swimming pool;
garden;
parking space;
solar panels;
and any shared facilities.

Kitchens in New Construction

The kitchen itself is usually part of the home, but the appliances vary by project.

For example, check to see if the following are included:

stove top;
oven;
range hood;
refrigerator;
dishwasher;
microwave;
and a washing machine.

Some developers provide a complete set of home appliances.

Others supply only a portion of the items or only the kitchen furniture.

Bathrooms

Bathrooms are typically delivered fully finished.

Still, there are differences in, for example:

bathroom cabinet;
mirror;
shower enclosure;
underfloor heating;
faucets;
lighting;
and a towel radiator.

Don't rely solely on the model home or renderings here either.

Air Conditioning

In new construction projects in Torrevieja, some properties come with full air conditioning, while others are only pre-wired for it.

Pre-installation means, for example, that ducts and pipes are in place, but the actual machine does not necessarily have to be included.

Therefore, always ask explicitly what is included in the delivery.

Electric roller shutters

Electric roller shutters are commonly used in modern projects, but they are not automatically included as standard in every room or home.

Check whether this feature is included in the base model or offered as an option.

Are new buildings more energy-efficient?

Newly constructed homes must comply with current Spanish building and energy codes.

As a result, modern homes are generally better insulated and more energy-efficient than many older homes.

For example, you may come across systems such as:

high-quality glazing;
thermal insulation;
aerothermal energy;
solar panels;
energy-efficient HVAC systems;
and an efficient hot water supply.

The specific systems that are actually in place vary by project.

Solar Panels

Solar panels are not included as standard in every new home.

Some homes have individual panels, while other projects have shared systems or just the necessary infrastructure in place.

Therefore, always check the technical documentation.

Private pool at a newly built villa

A villa may have a private pool:

are included as standard;
are optional;
or built at an additional cost.

Check the following, among other things:

dimensions;
lighting;
shower;
wraparound patio;
technical installation;
and finishing touches.

Communal swimming pool

Apartments and bungalows often feature a communal swimming pool.

Some projects also offer:

children's pool;
jacuzzi;
fitness;
sauna
sports fields;
or other facilities.

More amenities may be appealing, but they can also lead to higher community fees.

How will the outdoor space be delivered?

Outdoor spaces also vary greatly depending on the developer.

For example, a garden can be delivered with:

base paving;
artificial turf;
plants;
irrigation;
lighting;
or just a simple, basic finish.

Items shown in sales images are not automatically included.

Buying a New Construction Property Off-Plan

Many new construction projects are sold before the home is fully built.

This is often referred to as off-plan.

You will then make your purchase based on, among other things:

floor plans;
renders;
site plan;
technical description;
and any model home.

One advantage may be that you have more options when it comes to location, floor level, or type of home.

Turnkey New Construction in Torrevieja

Sometimes homes have already been built and are available.

This is often referred to as key ready.

This may be of interest to you if:

want to have it quickly;
want to view the actual home;
you won't have to wait long for construction to begin;
and you can see exactly what you're buying right away.

Of course, be sure to check that all the necessary documentation for the transfer is available.

Payment Schedule for New Construction

With new construction, the full purchase price is usually not paid all at once.

For example, a project might use:

reservation amount;
payment upon signing the private purchase agreement;
one or more payments during construction;
and the balance upon notarized transfer.

The exact percentages vary by developer.

Therefore, have the payment schedule reviewed by a lawyer in advance.

Advance Payments and Guarantees

If you make advance payments during construction, you should verify the legal protection afforded to these payments.

The applicable bank guarantees or other forms of security are an important part of the purchase process.

Independent legal guidance is therefore important even in new construction projects.

Completion Date

An expected completion date is an estimate and not an absolute guarantee that the keys will be available on that exact date.

Delays may be related to, for example:

construction;
permits;
utility services;
technical inspections;
or other project factors.

Keep this in mind when planning your move or the sale of another home.

Final Inspection

Before the final transfer, it is wise to carefully inspect the property.

Consider:

windows and doors;
tiles;
plumbing;
kitchen;
electricity;
air conditioning;
painting;
patio;
swimming pool;
and outdoor space.

Any shortcomings can then be documented.

Where can I buy a new home in Torrevieja?

Torrevieja consists of many different residential areas.

New construction may be available, for example, in or around:

Aguas Nuevas;
Torreblanca
La Mata;
Los Balcones;
Los Altos;
Punta Prima;
and other parts of the city.

The exact location is just as important as the home itself.

New Construction in Aguas Nuevas

Aguas Nuevas is a popular residential neighborhood north of downtown.

Here you'll regularly find modern homes and complexes featuring:

apartments;
bungalows;
communal swimming pool;
the terrace;
and parking spaces.

The area is popular with both permanent residents and second-home buyers.

New Construction in Torreblanca

Torreblanca is located in the direction of La Mata.

Some areas are higher, allowing homes to have views of the sea or the salt lakes.

Please pay close attention to this:

slopes;
distance to amenities;
and within walking distance of the beach.

New Construction at Los Balcones

Los Balcones is located on the southwest side of Torrevieja.

The area is more residential and offers both existing villas and modern developments.

This might be of interest to anyone who wants a quieter place to live but still wants to be close to Torrevieja.

New Construction in Punta Prima and Los Altos

On the southern side of Torrevieja lie Punta Prima and Los Altos, near Orihuela Costa.

A lot of modern residential development has taken place here.

You'll find, among other things, apartments and residential complexes with:

swimming pools;
gardens;
the terrace;
parking garages;
and modern shared amenities.

New Construction in La Mata

La Mata is appealing to people who like to live closer to a large sandy beach.

New construction here is often more limited and more dependent on location than further inland.

However, for homebuyers who consider proximity to the beach their top priority, this could actually be appealing.

New construction or existing homes in Torrevieja?

Both have their advantages.

New Construction

New construction often offers:

modern architecture;
recent installations;
improved energy performance;
modern outdoor space;
and very little immediate renovation work.

Existing Buildings

Existing homes offer:

many more different locations;
established neighborhoods;
immediate availability;
and sometimes more space for the same budget.

If you're set on living in a specific location, you'll often find more options in the existing housing market.

New construction in Torrevieja or Ciudad Quesada?

Ciudad Quesada has a completely different character.

Torrevieja has more to offer:

city life;
beach;
apartments;
boulevard;
and urban amenities.

Ciudad Quesada has more to offer:

villas;
low-rise buildings;
golf;
outdoor space;
and a homey atmosphere.

Anyone looking for a new home should therefore compare both types of housing.

New construction in Torrevieja or Guardamar?

Guardamar is smaller and has long sandy beaches and dunes.

Torrevieja has a much wider selection of:

stores;
hospitality industry;
residences;
medical facilities;
and international services.

The choice depends on the desired size and living environment.

New construction in Torrevieja or Benijófar?

Benijófar is located inland and is much smaller.

You'll find a relatively large number of modern villas there.

Torrevieja, on the other hand, offers plenty of apartments and the chance to live closer to the sea.

So, for the same budget, the type of home can vary greatly.

New construction in Torrevieja or Algorfa?

Algorfa is located near La Finca Golf and is quieter.

Torrevieja is a better fit for people who:

beach;
stores;
urban amenities;
and plenty of choices

consider important.

Algorfa is a better fit when peace and quiet and golf are the top priorities.

Permanent residence in a new-construction home in Torrevieja

People who move to Spain permanently have different needs than vacation home buyers.

Please note the following, among other things:

supermarket;
school;
medical care;
parking;
public transportation;
internet;
winter sun;
and daily commute time.

An apartment that's ideal for a two-week vacation may turn out to be less practical for permanent residence.

New Construction for Families

The following may be important for families:

number of bedrooms;
route to school;
salvage;
parking space;
safe outdoor space;
swimming pool;
and a lack of interest in sports.

The location within Torrevieja also makes a big difference.

New Construction for Retirees

For people who want to retire in Spain, new construction can be an attractive option because of the limited immediate maintenance required.

For example, note the following:

lift;
single-story living;
stairs;
walking distance to the supermarket;
medical facilities;
and a parking lot.

New Construction as a Second Home

A newly built home can be a practical choice as a second home because newer homes often require little immediate maintenance.

For those who stay in Spain only part of the year, a complex with:

communal swimming pool;
communal garden;
parking lot;
secure access;
and little yard work

be attractive.

Investing in New Construction in Torrevieja

Would you like to invest in real estate in Spain?

In that case, new construction isn't automatically the best investment.

Analyze, among other things:

purchase price;
location;
target rental market;
response from children;
community;
maintenance;
rental rules;
and future marketability.

A modern apartment with a pool is appealing, but ultimately, it’s the combination of location, price, and target audience that determines its rental potential.

Vacation Rentals

Are you interested in short-term rentals?

Be sure to check before purchasing whether this is possible for that specific home.

Consider:

current regulations of the Valencian Community;
municipal requirements;
community;
registration;
and the specific location and intended use of the home.

Therefore, a newly built home cannot automatically be rented out to tourists.

Long-Term Rentals

Torrevieja also has a large permanent population.

As a result, longer-term rentals may also be an attractive option.

The following are often important to long-term tenants:

multiple bedrooms;
parking space;
lift;
air conditioning;
internet;
distance to school;
and year-round amenities.

How much does a new home cost in Torrevieja?

Prices for new construction are constantly changing and vary widely depending on:

neighborhood;
housing type;
surface area;
distance to the beach;
floor;
view;
patio;
swimming pool;
and included amenities.

That's why I wouldn't list a fixed starting price on an evergreen page.

We recommend checking out the current listings or our new construction projects for the latest prices.

Purchasing Costs for New Construction in Torrevieja

When purchasing a new home, you’ll pay additional costs on top of the purchase price.

These include, among other things:

10% VAT
AJD;
notary;
property registry;
legal assistance;
and any financing costs.

Because AJD is determined on a regional basis, it is important to include the current rate for the Comunidad Valenciana in the calculation.

Be sure to read our detailed information about buying a home in Spain.

How much additional budget do you need?

It's best not to use a single fixed percentage for every purchase.

The final additional costs depend, among other things, on:

purchase price;
new construction or existing buildings;
mortgage;
legal fees;
and other individual circumstances.

Therefore, before you start looking for a home, have someone calculate your total budget.

Mortgage for a New Construction Home in Torrevieja

Dutch and Belgian buyers can apply for a Spanish mortgage under certain conditions.

Funding depends on, among other things:

income;
owe;
age;
home value;
taxation;
and personal financial situation.

Nonresidents are generally financed at a lower rate than residents.

Learn more about a mortgage in Spain.

Combining a Mortgage and a Payment Schedule

This is especially important for new construction.

The developer may request payments during construction, even though the final mortgage is usually not granted until around the time of the notarial transfer.

So you need to know in advance how much of your own funds you will need during construction.

NIE for New Construction

To purchase a home in Spain, you need an NIE number.

For more information, please visit our page on NIE and residency.

Make sure to take care of this in a timely manner, especially if you're buying a new home with a scheduled completion date.

Not just our own new-construction offerings

We don't focus exclusively on a single developer or only on properties from our own portfolio.

Through partnerships, various projects and homes can be compared with one another.

That's important because the same selling price can mean something completely different.

For example, in one project:

air conditioning;
equipment;
parking lot;
salvage;
and a swimming pool

are included, whereas with another project you'd have to pay extra for them.

“Access to all projects”?

I wouldn't use that as a claim.

It is better to make it clear that Casas Palmeras works with various developers and real estate agents and can therefore compare a wide range of options.

That's more accurate and prevents you from promising access to literally every project in Torrevieja.

Why Compare Projects?

You shouldn't judge a good new construction project solely on its appearance.

We'd rather watch:

total purchase price;
location;
construction quality;
developer;
payment schedule;
completion date;
included amenities;
community;
orientation;
parking space;
outdoor space;
and future usability.

Only then can you fairly compare projects side by side.

New construction in Torrevieja offers plenty of options, but that’s precisely why it’s important to compare them.
