Alicante

Benidorm Beach, a 126-metre high, 36-storey residential building, has been named the best residential development in Europe for 2024 by the jury of experts at the International Property Awards. The project, promoted by the Alicante-based real estate developer Alibuilding and designed by Chamizo Arquitectos, has won awards in the High-Rise Residential Building and Best Residential Flat Design categories.

The Alicante College of Technical Architecture (COATA) has reported the start of 2,689 homes in Q2 this year, thus becoming the second-highest number in the last 15 years, and only surpassed by Q2 2023, with 3,001 licences for new builds. Carlos Casas, president of COATA, has assured that "we are facing an exceptional quarter, it shows a very high volume of activity, and yet, it continues to reflect a decrease in it when compared to the previous year."

You can find real architectural gems in Spain, many of which are for sale on idealista. This 17th-century manor house is certainly an example and has become one of the most viewed properties on the portal these days.
