This urban plot is situated within the Playa del Cura district of Torrevieja, presenting a development opportunity 56 metres from the coastline. The 245-square-metre site includes an existing project for a five-storey residential building comprising ten apartments. Located in a consolidated urban area, the terrain is flat and holds planning permission for a structure featuring a ground floor, solarium, and a communal swimming pool.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot is positioned in a central, established neighbourhood of Torrevieja. Its location is defined by immediate proximity to the sea and integration into the existing city infrastructure. The site is surrounded by residential developments and is within walking distance of commercial zones.
This project caters to the demand for high-density, lock-up-and-leave accommodation in a prime seaside location. The proposed apartments address the need for low-maintenance living with access to communal leisure facilities. The layout is designed for seasonal residents or permanent dwellers prioritising convenience over private outdoor space.
The offering consists of urban land with an approved architectural project. The proposal outlines the demolition of existing structures to erect a new five-storey block. The planning phase is complete, allowing for the initiation of construction permits, though the actual building work has not yet commenced.
The site does not offer a turnkey residence; it requires a full construction process. The 245-square-metre footprint limits the size of individual apartments and excludes extensive private gardens. Being in a dense urban zone, noise levels from surrounding activities are a constant factor. It is not suitable for those seeking a rural or secluded environment.

This opportunity suits developers or investors with experience in the Spanish construction sector who are capable of managing a build project. It is also relevant for a collective group looking to commission a bespoke small-scale building. It does not suit buyers seeking immediate accommodation or those unwilling to engage with the complexities of planning and building regulations. The financial profile required is one of liquidity to cover the purchase and the subsequent build phases.
Currently, the site contains older structures and debris that require clearance. The quality of the final build will depend on the specifications chosen during the construction phase. The approved project includes modern amenities such as a solarium and a pool, suggesting a focus on contemporary leisure standards. Compliance with current Spanish building codes will dictate energy efficiency ratings, thermal insulation, and structural resilience, which will be superior to the structures originally built on this site in the 1970s.
The plot is priced at €294,900. This figure represents the cost of the land and the included project license, excluding construction costs, taxes, and fees. When compared to the asking price of completed apartments in the vicinity, such as Edificio Victoria I (from €255,000), this entry point requires significant additional capital investment to realise a final product. The value lies in the rarity of securing a development opportunity so close to the shoreline.
The environment is distinctly urban and maritime, characterised by the rhythm of a bustling Spanish coastal city. Daily life here is oriented towards the sea, with the beach serving as an extension of the living space. The area is densely populated with a mix of tourists and permanent residents, creating a lively atmosphere year-round. Practicalities are handled easily on foot; fresh produce can be bought at nearby markets, and evenings are spent in the local tapas bars. The immediate vicinity is a blend of older low-rise buildings and newer developments, reflecting the evolution of Torrevieja over recent decades.
The location offers a highly connected living experience. Essential services, including pharmacies, banks, and supermarkets, are within a 400-metre radius. The urban fabric supports a car-free lifestyle for most daily needs. For broader connectivity, the N-332 coastal road is easily accessible, linking the area to the rest of the Costa Blanca. The presence of numerous cafes and restaurants provides immediate dining options, contributing to a vibrant street life.

Situated in the heart of Torrevieja, this plot acts as a central anchor within the city's tourist and residential core. It contrasts with the more expansive, villa-focused developments of the Orihuela Costa inland. The location offers a more intense, urbanised experience compared to the quieter residential zones further north along the coast.
The beach at Playa del Cura is less than a one-minute walk (56 metres). Alicante-Elche Airport is approximately 35 kilometres away, reachable by car in roughly 35 minutes depending on traffic. Golf courses, including Villamartín and Campoamor, are situated 9 to 11 kilometres inland, requiring a short drive. Hospitals and major sports centres are within a 5-kilometre radius.

The region benefits from a Mediterranean climate with an average annual temperature of 18.8°C and over 3,800 hours of sunshine per year. The swimming season extends for five months due to warm sea temperatures. The terrain is flat, sitting at 12 metres above sea level with a gentle 2% slope towards the water. This elevation ensures good drainage and unobstructed sea views for the proposed mid-rise building.

Compared to the finished apartments of Edificio Victoria I nearby, priced from €255,000, this plot demands a higher initial financial commitment before construction begins. However, it offers the potential for capital appreciation through development that purchasing a resale unit does not. Unlike the larger, lower-density projects in Rojales or Daya Nueva, this site offers a scarce commodity in this specific location: buildable land so close to the sea. While inland projects offer more space per unit, this location offers superior walkability and beach access, commanding a higher price per square metre.
