Construction work on a large urban development project consisting of 7,490 properties in Eastern Spain could commence as early as April. The project will be located on the biggest available piece of urban land in Alicante Province, specifically at La Hoya in Torrevieja, which covers an area of almost two million square meters.



The Torrevieja Council has given the green light to revised construction plans submitted by three developers for the project worth 53 million euros. The land at La Hoya is surrounded by the CV-905 road, the La Siesta residential areas, the La Mata natural park, the Quiron Hospital, and Torrevieja’s International Auditorium.



During a public consultation process, individuals or groups can share their feedback and concerns about the project. However, construction work on the site is expected to begin in less than two months. Once the consultation process is completed, the developers, namely Elche Corpe, Eurovillas, and TM Group from Torrevieja, will be granted a license that includes access to basic services such as electricity.



As a requirement for the construction project, the developers are obligated to construct a pond located near the CV-905 that can hold 40,000 cubic meters of stormwater. The pond will be connected to water collectors to prevent any flooding. Additionally, the link road connecting the CV-905 and NH-332 will undergo significant upgrades.



Despite receiving approval from the Valencian government in 2009, the project did not move forward due to the recession, various legal challenges, and an environmental impact study involving the adjacent natural park. The large urban development will comprise of a mixture of holiday homes, properties intended for first-time domestic buyers, and subsidized housing.
