About Veridian
In Fuengirola you usually buy an apartment. Veridian is different: the development consists of 40 family houses in El Higuerón, the hillside area above Torreblanca on the border with Benalmádena. You get your own front door, two parking spaces and a small plot, around 1 km from the sea as the crow flies. Our data covers two homes, both with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and both with sea views.
The terraced house has 166 m² built, 131 m² usable, a 29 m² terrace and a 60 m² plot. It costs €797,000. The semi-detached house is almost the same size, 167 m² built, but sits on 70 m² of land and costs €887,000. So you pay €90,000 extra for one open side wall and 10 m² more plot. Both homes have a guest toilet and a utility room. The sales description talks of generous outdoor space, but with a 29 m² terrace and a small plot that is relative.
What sets this development apart is the construction method. The homes are built with an industrialised system in which large sections are prepared in a factory. That should mean better insulation, fewer defects and a tighter schedule. The communal areas focus on wellbeing: an infinity pool, a children's pool, a sauna, yoga spaces, an open-air social club, vegetable gardens and walking paths.

Veridian in figures
Veridian has a median price of €5,056 per m². That is 13% below the median for new builds in Fuengirola (€5,779, 27 projects), even though you get a house with its own land rather than an apartment. Compared with resale homes in Fuengirola (€4,452 per m², idealista, September 2026) the price is 14% higher, a normal premium for a new build. If you buy the terraced house at €797,000, you pay around €900,664 in total: €79,700 VAT, €9,564 stamp duty, €4,800 notary and €9,600 lawyer. The weak point is outdoor space: with a 29 m² terrace, Veridian is among the 4% of projects with the least outdoor space relative to the size of the home. And the wait is long: 26 months until completion, against a median of 14 months in Fuengirola.
| Price | € 797.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 79.700 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 9.564 |

| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 9.600 |
Around 13.0% on top of the price in total. All purchase costs explained.

Location
El Higuerón sits in the hills behind Torreblanca, the eastern part of Fuengirola. It is a residential area of villas and more recent developments, around a well-known sports and hotel resort about a kilometre away. The development is 86 metres above sea level, high enough for views of the sea and green hills, but not so high that you end up on a remote urbanisation. The centres of Fuengirola and Benalmádena are both within a 15-minute drive. Bear in mind that the area is hilly, so walking down is easy, walking back up less so.
What you notice day to day: Torreblanca beach is 9 minutes by car or 38 minutes on foot. The supermarket is a 6-minute drive. Fuengirola centre and Hospital Xanit are each 14 minutes away, as is a bilingual private school in Benalmádena. Málaga airport is a 27-minute drive, Málaga city centre 30 minutes.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 7:00 on 21 June and sets at 21:40, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Veridian sits at around 86 metres above sea level.
Both homes in our data have sea views, and the description also mentions views of the green landscape. The orientation is not in the listings; we check it for each home on the site plan.
Homes and finishes
The homes come with a fully fitted kitchen with appliances, ducted air conditioning, aerothermal hot water, LED lighting, home automation and an integrated alarm system. The description highlights the thermal and acoustic insulation of the industrialised building system. There is one contradiction, though: the sales description mentions energy rating A, but the property listings show rating B. We request the provisional energy certificate and have the rating set out in the purchase contract. With an off-plan development we also always check the bank guarantee on your payments.
Payment schedule
As with most new builds on the Costa del Sol, you pay in instalments: a reservation deposit, a portion on signing the purchase contract and during construction, and the balance at the deed signing. Every payment before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for Veridian through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Veridian
Strengths
- Family house with its own front door and 2 parking spaces in Fuengirola, where apartments dominate.
- 13% below the median price per m² for new builds in Fuengirola.
- Sea views from both homes in our data.
- Industrialised construction with a focus on insulation and energy efficiency.
- Wellness facilities with sauna, yoga room, infinity pool and vegetable gardens.
- Málaga airport a 27-minute drive away.
Points to consider
- Completion not until December 2028, 26 months from now.
- Small 29 m² terrace and plots of 60 to 70 m², little outdoor space for a house.
- Beach a 38-minute walk away in a hilly area; you will rely on the car.
- Energy rating A in the brochure, B in the listings; have it fixed in the contract.
- €90,000 more for the semi-detached house compared with a terraced house of almost the same size.
Who is Veridian right for?
Veridian suits families and buyers who prefer a house to an apartment, with two cars and a short drive to the airport. If you want Fuengirola for the winter but don't want to live on a busy apartment-lined street, this is a quiet alternative. It is less suited to anyone expecting a large garden or private pool, or who wants to enjoy their home within the year.
Why buy through Imagine Marbella?
With us you pay exactly the same price as buying direct from the developer. Our fee is paid by the seller, not by you. What you get on top is what makes the difference.

- Stronger at the negotiating table. Whenever there is room to negotiate, on price, payment schedule, finishes or a parking space, we know the market, the sales figures and the developers. We defend your interests; the seller defends theirs.
- Free extra services. We check licences, bank guarantees and specifications, provide legal support in your own language and plan viewings around your travel dates.

Off market: what you will not find online
Not every property on the Costa del Sol ends up on a website.
Owners who want to sell discreetly, a last penthouse that has not yet been released, a villa that only comes onto the market when the right buyer appears: part of the market changes hands without a single advert. Already know the market and looking for something you cannot find online? Tell us as precisely as possible what you are looking for. If it exists, we will find it for you.

Frequently asked questions about Veridian
Is Fuengirola a good place to spend the winter?

When will Veridian be completed?
Completion is scheduled for December 2028. Until then you pay in instalments. We check that every payment is covered by a bank guarantee, as Spanish law requires.
Do the homes at Veridian have their own garden?
The homes stand on their own plot of 60 m² for the terraced house and 70 m² for the semi-detached house, with a 29 m² terrace. There is no private pool; you share the infinity pool.

By our measurement it is a 27-minute drive to Málaga airport. Málaga city centre is 30 minutes away, Fuengirola centre 14 minutes.
Do I pay more if I buy Veridian through Imagine Marbella?
No. You pay the same price as buying directly from the seller. Through us you also get independent advice, legal guidance and aftercare.
What costs come on top of the price of a new-build home?
In Andalusia, a new build carries 10% VAT (IVA) and 1.2% stamp duty (AJD), plus notary, land registry and lawyer's fees. For the most affordable home in Veridian, that adds up to around 13.0%.
