A ready-to-build plot in one of Almería’s most established coastal addresses
This 350 m² urban plot sits on Avenida Chafarinas in Puerto Rey, within the Vera Playa area of Almería province. It is classified as consolidated urban land, meaning all the basic infrastructure and services are already in place and there is no need to wait for any further urban development process before applying for a building licence. The plot has an east-facing orientation, which brings in good morning light.
What you can build here – the facts
The current planning regulations designate this plot for exclusive single-family residential use: one house, one family. Apartment blocks and industrial uses are not permitted. Compatible uses do include tertiary activities, community facilities, open spaces and car parking, which gives a buyer some flexibility if a mixed-use approach is of interest.
The key planning figures applied to the 350 m² plot are as follows: maximum ground coverage is 30%, meaning the building footprint can cover up to 105 m²; the plot ratio is 0.34 m²/m², giving a maximum total built area of 119 m²; the permitted height is two storeys, ground floor plus one upper floor. Mandatory setbacks are between 2.50 m and 5 m from the street alignment and from the boundaries with neighbouring plots. Crucially, 350 m² is precisely the minimum plot size required by the regulations to build, so this plot meets the legal threshold exactly and there is nothing standing in the way of a project.
Puerto Rey: a settled, high-quality residential area by the sea
Puerto Rey is one of the most well-regarded residential developments along Vera Playa. The area is characterised by detached and semi-detached houses, a calm atmosphere and a clearly mid-to-upper-end residential profile. The beach at Vera Playa – one of the longest and most highly regarded stretches of coastline in Almería – is within easy reach. The development has good road access and noticeably better parking conditions than you would find in more densely built coastal towns. For anyone looking to build a permanent home or a second property close to the sea, without the noise and congestion of a busy resort, Puerto Rey fits the brief well.
Looking ahead: infrastructure and land value
The wider Vera area is set to benefit from a significant infrastructure upgrade. The planned high-speed rail connection – currently projected for around 2029 to 2030 – is expected to improve accessibility to the region considerably. Buyers who secure land now in an already-established location like Puerto Rey stand to benefit from the uplift in value that improved rail connectivity typically brings to a coastal area. This is not speculation; it is a well-documented pattern wherever high-speed rail reaches a coastal destination.
Who is this plot for?
This plot suits anyone who wants to design and build their own home from scratch in a quality coastal setting, rather than compromise on a property that already exists. It would also appeal to a small developer looking to build a single family house in an area with consistent demand. The planning regulations for this zone carry no additional particular conditions beyond those already described, which keeps the design and application process straightforward.
