Carlota Gardens, in context.

Carlota Gardens is a small, gated development in La Carihuela, the old fishing quarter of Torremolinos that has held its character while the resort around it modernised. The scheme comprises 24 residences across the wider project, of which the Roccabox allocation is a set of two-bedroom, two-bathroom flats of roughly 65 m² with generous terraces. Priced from €428,000, the homes are designed around light and cross-ventilation, with floor-to-ceiling glazing opening onto terraces that can be fitted with a jacuzzi or outdoor kitchen.

The building holds its licence, with works scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026 and completion targeted for the fourth quarter of 2027. Of the twelve units tracked here, eleven are already committed. What remains is a single apartment in a location that rarely produces new-build stock.

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. Carlota Gardens currently sits in the With licence band.

Roccabox analyst view

With the licence in place, the principal planning risk is removed before reservation. Buying now, ahead of a Q2 2026 start and Q4 2027 completion, secures the last available unit at €428,000 in an area where median values run near €4,149 per m² and stock sits an average 158 days on the market. New-build supply within walking distance of La Carihuela beach is scarce; eleven of twelve units are already committed, leaving little room to wait.

Reserving early

Why buyers reserve at this stage

Personalisation window

Reserving during the With licence 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

1 of 12 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.

Carlota Gardens is not priced against average Torremolinos 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 €6,585 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 €3,384/m².

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 Carlota Gardens a good investment compared to the local resale market?

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

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 Carlota Gardens 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 Carlota Gardens from Málaga airport?

Approximately 10 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 With licence stage, Carlota Gardens 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.
