Construction of sustainable, energy efficient homes accelerating
Spain is seeing a considerable acceleration in the construction of new homes in 2025 as selling prices continue to rise.
Spanish home builder Taylor Wimpey España reported that they completed 504 homes in 2024, an increase of 23 percent compared to the 410 built in 2023. At the same time, selling prices rose, with 2023’s average selling price being €400,000, going up to €440,000 in 2024.
Sustainability and energy efficiency have become central to customer demands over the last few years with properties in the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca, and Mallorca. An example is Eden Beach, a cluster of bright, contemporary apartments just 700 metres from La Mata beach in Torrevieja. The homes combine urban convenience with spectacular sea views, with everything from a local Mercadona supermarket to the stunning beach easily reachable on foot.
Energy efficiency and sustainability the key to new homes
Ground floor apartments come with their own gardens, while those on the top floor have private solariums. All homes within the private, gated community come with double glazing, aerothermal heating and pre-installation for electric vehicles. Rated A for their energy efficiency, the homes ensure that owners’ energy bills will be kept to a minimum.
For internal common areas, low-consumption lighting is used in combination with presence sensors. Outside, native vegetation is maintained where possible, and new planting is chosen to minimise water consumption, with drip irrigation systems with timers in garden areas.
The build process is also as sustainable as possible, using local suppliers to help minimise the carbon footprint resulting from transporting materials. Site waste is segregated and recycled, and all energy used during the build process is contracted with suppliers who hold a Certified Guarantee of Origin for the execution of the work.
