Roccabox · the editorial

Core Higueron, in context.

Core Higuerón is a boutique collection of 25 three-bedroom apartments set within the established El Higuerón resort, on the hillside that links Benalmádena Pueblo with Fuengirola. It is aimed at international buyers who want continuous resort infrastructure without the anonymity of a large-scale scheme.

Every apartment shares a southeast orientation, a design decision that makes the panoramic Mediterranean views a constant rather than a selling point for a favoured few.

Construction is under way, with delivery scheduled for summer 2026 — placing buyers at an advanced, lower-risk stage. Of the original 25 units, 22 are sold and just three remain, priced between €1,149,900 and €1,599,900. That sales pace speaks to demand for both the location and the reduced-density format.

The off-plan discount, stage by stage

Off-plan entry typically offers the largest pricing headroom at the earliest stages. The advantage narrows as construction progresses — at completion the unit is priced at market. Core Higueron currently sits in the Under construction band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

Unlike very early-stage launches, Core Higuerón is already under construction with delivery set for summer 2026, sharply reducing completion risk. The scarcity is real: only three of the original 25 units remain, and 22 have already sold. Buyers secure current new-build specification and a decennial guarantee at a premium over Benalmádena Pueblo resale stock, which trades around €3,231/m² — a premium that reflects the resort amenities and boutique scale rather than speculation.

Reserving early

Why buyers reserve at this stage

Personalisation window

Reserving during the Under construction phase gives buyers genuine input into layout, finishes and basement use ahead of handover, a window that closes as the build advances.

Scarcity and specification

3 of 25 units remain. The plot sizes, orientation and amenity package on this scheme are not easily replicated in the immediate resale stock.

Risk-managed entry

Spanish new-build buyers are protected by staged payments held under bank guarantee, ten-year structural warranty and full licence review. Roccabox brokers all of this through regulated counsel.

Market reality

The premium, contextualised

Useful context — not a substitute for unit-level valuation. Pricing data cross-referenced against live Costa del Sol market signals.

Core Higueron is not priced against average Benalmádena Pueblo resale stock. It is a premium new-build product with the specification, plot quality and amenity package that the broader resale market typically does not match. At €8,711 per built m² the relevant question is whether the premium is justified against comparable new-build completions, not whether it beats the area's median of €3,232/m².

Residency planning for non-EU buyers

Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025. Non-EU buyers acquiring property at this value still have residency routes — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, and case-specific options — depending on circumstances. We introduce regulated immigration counsel before any commitment.

Common questions

Buying off-plan in Spain, answered

Straight answers to the questions our specialists field most. For anything else, the assistant above answers in real time.

Is Core Higueron a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Core Higueron is positioned as a premium new-build product with developer warranty, modern specification and limited supply. Comparable to the broader resale stock in Benalmádena Pueblo on price-per-m², the premium reflects new-build standards, plot quality and amenity package not typically available in the resale market. Our market analysts model the projected key-ready value on request.

What is the off-plan payment schedule in Spain?

Spanish off-plan purchases are typically staged: 10% on reservation (refundable holding deposit), a further 20% on signing the private purchase contract, and the remaining 70% on completion. Every euro paid before completion is held under bank guarantee — if the developer defaults, your money is refunded under Spanish law.

Can a non-resident get a mortgage to buy at Core Higueron?

Yes. Spanish banks routinely lend 60–70% loan-to-value to non-residents on properties at this value, over terms of 20–25 years at competitive rates. Roccabox introduces vetted non-resident mortgage brokers at no cost.

Does buying at Core Higueron qualify for Spanish residency?

Spain's property-based Golden Visa route closed to new applicants on 3 April 2025 under Organic Law 1/2025. However, other residency routes remain available depending on circumstances — non-lucrative visa, digital-nomad visa, work or family-based permits. Roccabox introduces regulated Spanish immigration counsel.

How far is Core Higueron from Málaga airport?

Approximately 14 minutes' drive, with a direct route via the A-7 / AP-7 motorway.

What is included in the purchase price?

Price includes the unit as specified by the developer. Spanish purchase costs (VAT/IVA on new builds at 10%, AJD stamp duty at 1.2%, notary and registry around 1%, legal counsel typically 1%) sit on top of the headline price. The Roccabox team produces a personalised total-cost breakdown on request.

Can I personalise the property?

At the Under construction stage, Core Higueron buyers can typically influence layout details, basement configuration, finishes and specification ahead of handover. The window narrows as the build progresses. Our specialist will walk you through what's still negotiable on each remaining unit.
