Core Higuerón Fase II, in context.

Core Higuerón Fase II is a collection of 53 two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses on the elevated hillside of El Higuerón, positioned between Fuengirola and Benalmádena on the western Costa del Sol — suited to buyers who want panoramic sea views and genuine connectivity without the density of the coastline itself.

Construction is under way, with completion confirmed for the first quarter of 2027. Of the 53 residences, 43 have already sold, leaving just 10 available — a ratio that reflects both the demand for this address and the limited window remaining. Homes range from 106 to 160 m², with floor-to-ceiling glazing and terraces designed as direct extensions of the living space. The communal offer is substantive: two infinity pools, a spa, a fully equipped gymnasium, paddle tennis courts, and a private putting green, set within landscaped gardens. Facades draw on natural stone and timber to anchor the modernist architecture to its hillside setting.

The off-plan discount curve

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 Higuerón Fase II currently sits in the Under construction band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

With construction already progressed and handover set for Q1 2027, the delivery risk is materially lower than a pre-launch commitment. More pressing is scarcity: just 10 of 53 residences remain, and the 81 per cent absorption rate across the scheme suggests the remaining units will not persist at current pricing. Market data for Benalmádena Pueblo places the average price per square metre at approximately €3,208 on the resale market; Core Higuerón Fase II's specification and elevation position it above that benchmark, but buyers entering now do so ahead of the new-build premium that typically crystallises on completion.

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

10 of 53 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 Higuerón 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 €6,697 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 €3,208/m².

El Higuerón sits on a ridge that captures sea breezes and unobstructed Mediterranean views while keeping both Fuengirola and Benalmádena within a short drive. The A-7 coastal motorway is directly accessible, placing Málaga International Airport, Marbella, and Puerto Banús within easy reach. The immediate surroundings are characterised by native vegetation, walking trails, and the kind of natural quiet that the beachfront towns on either side cannot offer. The white hilltop village of Benalmádena Pueblo is close by, providing traditional Andalusian character alongside the modern amenities of the coast below. For buyers balancing privacy with access to urban, cultural, and gastronomic life, the position is a considered one.

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 Higuerón Fase II a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Core Higuerón 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 Higuerón 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 Higuerón 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 Higuerón 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 Higuerón 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.
