According to a recent report by the Official Association of Quantity Surveyors and Technical Architects of Alicante (COATA) New Build Property on the Costa Blanca North, particularly in the Marina Alta area, is experiencing some what of a renaissance with construction projects in the area remaining at a high for 2025.
Popular towns, where investment in the luxury market is at an all time high, like Dénia, Calpe, Jávea, Teulada‑Moraira, and Benissa are leading the way, but what is is about the area that makes it a hive of activity for developers, and just what is the data showing us?
The Data – What Matters
- Between January and June 2025, 1,502 new homes were initiated in Marina Alta and Marina Baixa combined, representing a 25% year‑on‑year increase and totaling 701 homes in Q2 alone.
- Although Q2 saw an 18% decline compared to Q2 2024 and a 12% drop from Q1 2025, annual pace remains at record highs thanks to earlier momentum
- In Q1 2025, Marina Alta alone had 417 start ups, up from 166 in Q1 2024—a 151% surge
Standout towns included Javea where 34 homes were started, Calpe where 136 homes were started and Denia where an incredible 200 homes were started, up 112% on the previous year.
Why Investors are Flocking to the Area
Scarce supply, solid demand
Overall supply remains tight especially in the coastal ares where property is at a premium. This keeps pressure on the prices, despite the softened quarterly pace in Q2.
Strong Price Appreciation & High International Demand
Foreign buyers especially from the UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Scandinavia and USA, dominate purchases for holiday, retirement, and investment purposes. Recent reports put prices in Jávea around €3,200–€3,500 /m² with a 9% annual growth, whilst prices in Moraira often exceed €4,000/m² in value for a luxury home.
Quality builds & smart design
New developments emphasize energy efficiency, modern Mediterranean design, and expansive views—blending aesthetics with sustainability and lifestyle appeal.
Market Outlook and Investor Tips
– Price forecasts: Expect 5–10% annual growth in prime zones, with the rest of the Costa Blanca North likely to increase by around 2–4%
– Financing trends: Improved mortgage conditions with a lower Euribor rate and rising mortgage approvals (22–25% YOY) which are fueling the demand.
Act swiftly as properties will move fast, especially during the busier trends in September and October, and have a preference for properties or developments with energy-efficient certifications and adaptable layouts. Consider projected rental yields, and most importantly, engage a local specialist like The AgencyRE Costa Blanca to help you navigate the market and understand the regulations.

Final Considerations
The Marina Alta region is firmly established as the focal point of Costa Blanca North’s new-build boom. Though there’s a seasonal moderation in mid‑2025, the 25% annual growth, skyrocketing Q1 starts, and scarcity-driven price increases make this region a compelling option for buyers and investors.
