Core Higueron Fase II, in context.
Core Higuerón Fase II is a 53-unit apartment and penthouse scheme on the elevated shelf of El Higuerón, the hillside enclave between Benalmádena and Fuengirola, aimed at buyers who want sea views and resort amenities without moving west to Marbella prices.
Homes run from 105 m² to 160 m² across two and three bedrooms, priced from €699,900 to €1,449,900, with underground parking and storage included.
Construction has started, with completion scheduled for the third trimester of 2028. Thirty-three of the 53 units have already sold, leaving 20 available. Buyers should note that at roughly €6,700 to €9,000 per built m², the scheme sits well above the Benalmádena Pueblo resale median of €3,298 per m² — a new-build, view-led premium that needs weighing honestly.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions
Roccabox analyst view
The building is out of the ground and delivery is set for Q3 2028, so this is a construction-stage purchase rather than a speculative pre-launch: the specification, layouts and communal scheme are fixed and visible. With 33 of 53 units already committed, the remaining 20 represent what is left of the floorplate — and in a low-density hillside site, the front-line, view-facing positions typically go first. Staged payments to 2028 spread the commitment, and El Higuerón has little comparable land left to build on.
Reserving early
Why buyers reserve at this stage
01
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.
02
Scarcity and specification
20 of 53 units remain. The plot sizes, orientation and amenity package on this scheme are not easily replicated in the immediate resale stock.
03
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 Fase II 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 €6,666 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 €3,307/m².

El Higuerón
Living in Benalmádena Pueblo
El Higuerón sits on the slope above the coast road, high enough for sea breeze and long coastal views, close enough that the sand is a three-minute drive. A pharmacy is 321 metres away and an ALDI 399 metres; Nirvana and the Michelin-starred kitchen at Sollo are both under a kilometre.
75 km away, which makes the airport and Málaga city reachable without a car — by road the airport is 26 minutes. 5 km west, and Benalmádena's pitch and putt just over three.

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 Fase II a good investment compared to the local resale market?
Core Higueron Fase II 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 Fase II?
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 Fase II 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 Fase II 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 Fase II 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.
