Carlota Gardens, in context.

Carlota Gardens is a gated residential development of 24 newly built apartments on Avenida Carlota Alessandri in La Carihuela, the historic fishing quarter of Torremolinos — positioned for owner-occupiers and investors who want a genuine beachside address at a price point still beneath the upper end of the local resale market. The scheme comprises two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses across two blocks, with built areas from approximately 65 m² and private terraces designed to capture sea views and natural ventilation through floor-to-ceiling glazing. A communal pool and landscaped gardens complete the shared amenity. The development holds its building licence, with construction scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2026 and delivery targeted for Q4 2027. Of the 24 residences, 11 are recorded as sold and one two-bedroom unit remains available at €428,000 — a market position worth examining carefully against local comparables.

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.

Indicative uplift modelled against comparable new-build completions

Roccabox analyst view

With the building licence in hand and construction starting Q2 2026, the principal permitting risk has passed. The absorption rate tells its own story: the developer's own site lists units from €412,000, and the near-complete sell-through across a 24-home scheme suggests local and investor demand at this price point is real. data places the La Carihuela resale median at €4,115/m², implying the remaining unit at €428,000 for 65 m² — approximately €6,585/m² new-build — carries a quality and newness premium that warrants scrutiny but also reflects the scarcity of genuinely new stock in this submarket. One unit remaining; contact Roccabox for current availability confirmation.

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 €3,364/m².

El Pinillo

La Carihuela retains a distinctly local character that the broader Torremolinos seafront does not always offer — its paseo is lined with established chiringuitos and the beach itself is broad and unhurried outside high summer. From Carlota Gardens, La Carihuela beach is a three-minute walk, Parque de la Batería five minutes on foot, and Torremolinos town centre reachable in around fifteen minutes. Puerto Marina in Benalmádena is five minutes by car. For connectivity, both bus and commuter rail links are within walking distance, placing central Málaga approximately fifteen minutes away and the airport twelve. The orientation and layout of the scheme — open-plan living rooms giving directly onto terraces — is specifically designed to make use of the sustained Mediterranean light and prevailing coastal breezes that characterise this stretch of coast year-round.

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.
