Abril, in context.

Abril is a 65-apartment development by the partnership behind the project — Spain's largest listed residential developer — set within the Doña Julia golf enclave of Casares, on the stretch of coastline that connects Sotogrande and Estepona. Construction started in June 2025, with completion scheduled for Q2 2027.

The scheme comprises three residential blocks offering two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses, ranging from 100 m² to 123 m² of built area. Priced between €427,000 and €685,000, entry-level units represent approximately €4,270 per m² — a meaningful premium over the Doña Julia area's current resale median of roughly €2,621/m², which reflects new-build specification, communal infrastructure, and the the partnership behind the project covenant. Of 59 available units, 46 have already sold, leaving 13 residences. Buyers may personalise finishes — kitchen appliances, tile colours, and bathroom fittings — before handover.

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. Abril currently sits in the Under construction band.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

Construction began June 2025, removing the planning and groundbreak risk that characterises earlier off-plan stages. With 46 of 59 units already sold, the remaining 13 residences represent genuine scarcity. Buyers who commit now can still personalise finishes and lock in today's price ahead of Q2 2027 completion — at a point when the Doña Julia area's per-square-metre values have risen consistently over the past 12 months, and when comparable resale stock in Casares offers materially less specification at broadly similar headline figures.

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

14 of 59 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.

Abril is not priced against average Casares 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 €4,270 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 €2,456/m².

Doña Julia sits on the New Golden Mile corridor, a section of coastline that has drawn significant investment precisely because it sits equidistant between the established luxury infrastructure of Marbella and the established marina amenity of Sotogrande — each roughly 45 minutes by car. Estepona, with its old town restaurants and expanded marina, is approximately 20 minutes. Playa Ancha, Casares Beach, and Playa Chica are reachable in around 10 minutes by car. Puerto Deportivo de La Duquesa — with waterfront dining — lies some 7.4 kilometres away. Gibraltar Airport is within 45 minutes, providing an important access point for British buyers in particular.

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 Abril a good investment compared to the local resale market?

Abril is positioned as a premium new-build product with developer warranty, modern specification and limited supply. Comparable to the broader resale stock in Casares 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 Abril?

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 Abril 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 Abril from Málaga airport?

Approximately 80 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, Abril 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.
