Major Investments on the Coast
In 2025, the British company Taylor Wimpey announced an investment of €32 million in the development of two new residential complexes on the Costa Blanca coast. The projects will be located in Dénia and Finestrat, both cities in the province of Alicante. The developer plans to complete construction by autumn 2027, already sparking interest among potential buyers and market experts.
A new residential complex, Sora, will appear in Dénia, featuring 86 apartments and duplexes with two or three bedrooms. Six modern buildings will be surrounded by green spaces and communal recreation areas. Housing prices here will start at €315,000, while total investment in the project is set at €23 million.
In Finestrat, within the urbanization of Balcón de Finestrat, construction has begun on the Nature complex. Thirty-eight townhouses with three bedrooms each will be built here, with prices starting from €425,000. This project is allocated €9 million. Both complexes promise high energy efficiency ratings (Class A), as well as proximity to beaches, golf courses, and entertainment venues.
Buyer Profiles: Who Chooses Costa Blanca
New developments are attracting a diverse range of buyers. In Dénia, according to Taylor Wimpey, over half of future apartment owners are expected to be Spanish citizens. Most often, these are couples aged 40 to 60 who seek quality homes for permanent residence or vacation. Dénia has long established itself as one of the most attractive destinations for domestic tourism and living, thanks to its mild climate, well-developed infrastructure, and high safety standards.
In contrast, Finestrat is expected to attract a predominantly international audience. Here, demand is driven by Europeans, especially residents of the UK, the Netherlands, and Scandinavian countries. Buyers aged 40 to 55 see these properties as investments or as seasonal residences. The region’s appeal for foreigners is due not only to its natural setting but also to the stable economic situation in the Valencian Community.
Real estate market: rising prices and growing demand
In recent years, the Valencian Community has shown steady growth in the housing market. By the end of the third quarter of 2024, more than 27,000 real estate transactions had taken place here. Over the course of twelve months, this number surpassed 100,000 operations, highlighting strong interest in the region from both Spanish and foreign buyers.
Particular attention is given to new developments, which account for a significant share of total sales. Stabilizing interest rates and the gradual recovery of mortgage lending conditions are driving an increase in transactions. As a result, the average price per square meter of housing in October 2024 reached a historic high of €2,655, which is 14.3% higher than a year earlier.
Modern Standards and Advantages of New Complexes
Both Taylor Wimpey projects meet the latest standards for energy efficiency and comfort. All apartments and townhouses will be equipped with energy-saving systems, as well as large windows for maximum natural light. Residents will have access to landscaped gardens, swimming pools, and recreation areas—particularly important for families with children and those who value privacy.
Proximity to the sea, golf courses, and well-developed infrastructure makes these complexes attractive to a wide range of buyers. The developer notes that demand for quality housing in the region continues to grow despite rising prices. This is due to the limited supply of new properties and the high quality of life on the coast.
