Building Plot for sale in Mojácar, Almería

The land and its planning classification

For sale is a plot of urban land measuring 65.018.60 sqm located in La Paratá, in the Mojácar Playa area (Almería), corresponding to sector SUS-8 "Huerto del Escribano" under the Mojácar General Urban Development Plan (PGOU). The land is classified as Sectorised Developable Land (Suelo Urbanizable Sectorizado) for residential use, which allows the process of transformation into urban land to begin through the corresponding Partial Plan (Plan Parcial), Urbanisation Plan and Parcellation Plan. The plot borders Avenida de las Marinas, at its junction with Avenida de La Paratá, and lies next to the new bypass road providing access to Mojácar Playa.

Current planning status

The sector already has a Partial Development Plan drawn up by the architectural practice Soto & Tudela, setting out a detailed development proposal with roads, green areas, amenities and residential plots. This Partial Plan is currently under review, prior to its submission to Mojácar Town Hall for administrative processing. Having this technical document already prepared represents a significant head start in processing timescales compared with sectors starting from scratch, as it defines the zoning, road layout and distribution of uses even before municipal processing begins.

Buildable area and development potential

The maximum buildable floor area for the sector amounts to 27,545.04 sqm, with an overall plot ratio of 0.455 sqm of floor space per sqm of land. Of this total, 26,545.04 sqm is allocated to residential use and a minimum of 1,000 sqm to tertiary or commercial use, with a maximum permitted height of ground floor plus one storey (GF+1) for both residential and tertiary buildings. Within the residential use, the free-market housing typology (detached single-family homes) reaches a maximum of 18,269.69 sqm, while protected housing (terraced and multi-family) has a minimum of 8,275.35 sqm. The maximum number of dwellings permitted under the planning scheme is 200 units: 121 free-market homes and 79 protected homes, according to the PGOU's Planning Schedule (Ficha Urbanística). The minimum plot size has not been defined, giving the developer flexibility to distribute the surface area according to their requirements, always within the established maximums.

Development proposal and land transfers

The preliminary study prepared for the sector sets out a total area of 65,018.61 sqm (following a slight extension to the original PGOU boundary of 60,577.62 sqm), distributed as follows: 31,912.51 sqm for single-family use (103 dwellings, 18,269.69 sqm buildable), 6,692.85 sqm for multi-family use (97 dwellings, 9,275.35 sqm buildable), 2,823.44 sqm of amenities, 6,343.74 sqm of green areas and 17,246.07 sqm of roads for transfer. The mandatory land transfers to the Town Hall (green areas, roads and amenities) are estimated at around 19,650.86 sqm of the sector area, leaving a net surface area for free-market housing plots of approximately 31,961.29 sqm, giving an average of 264 sqm per individual plot if the maximum 121 units permitted are developed.

Registry status and terms of the transaction

The property comprises several registered land parcels duly recorded at the Mojácar Land Registry, held in co-ownership (proindiviso) among the title holders, free of charges and encumbrances, and up to date with IBI (property tax) payments. The sector has an up-to-date topographical survey and a preliminary urban development study prepared by a specialist technical team, documentation which will be made available to the buyer to speed up subsequent procedures with the Town Hall. This is an urban development opportunity aimed at developers seeking a sector with advanced planning, close to the consolidated centre of Mojácar Playa and within a short distance of the coastline.
