TM Inmobiliaria Delivers First homes in Major Torrevieja Lagunas Project
TM Inmobiliaria, one of the largest landowners between the iconic Laguna Rosa and La Mata wetlands in Torrevieja, Alicante, has begun handing over the first homes in its ambitious Lagoons Village development. The real estate giant plans to build around 1,800 homes as part of a larger partial plan that envisions nearly 7,500 residences in the area.
A Mediterranean Lifestyle Housing Development
The latest delivery focuses on the “Laguna Rosa” phase, wich already features 240 completed homes alongside more than 15,000 square meters of communal green spaces, leisure areas, and a state-of-the-art sports centre. This urbanization provides facilities such as an indoor heated swimming pool, gymnasiums for indoor and outdoor use, sports courts, a spa, and wellness zones.
According to Pablo Serna, CEO of TM Grupo Inmobiliario, “The delivery of Laguna Rosa represents much more than a construction milestone for us. It reflects our long-term commitment to Torrevieja and the Valencian Community, demonstrating our strong growth focus on this territory.”
TM inmobiliaria’s vision is to create lasting, open communities grounded in mediterranean culture and lifestyle, offering a blend of apartments, bungalows, and villas that promote connectivity and well-being.

Ancient Context and Environmental Concerns
The development traces its origins to a partial plan approved back in 2009 but stalled by the worldwide economic crisis. The plan was later modified to comply with environmental regulations, especially those relating to the natural Resources Plan protecting the Parque Natural de las Lagunas de Torrevieja y La Mata.
Despite these adjustments, the project has faced sustained criticism from environmental groups, including the association Amigos de los Humedales del Sur de Alicante.These groups argue that the construction endangers the ecological corridor connecting both Laguna Rosa and La Mata, crucial wetlands for regional biodiversity.
Critics have described the plan as “a disastrous project conceived during the worst years of Valencian corruption,” accusing local and regional governments of endorsing urbanization that could threaten nearly 2 million square meters around the protected park.
Looking Ahead: Balancing Growth and Conservation
The Lagoons Village project presents a classic challenge in Spain’s fast-growing coastal regions: how to balance significant urban development and economic benefits with the preservation of sensitive natural habitats.
with 1,500 of the homes planned as protected housing, significant green zones, and modern infrastructure, TM Inmobiliaria aims to create a vibrant, sustainable community. Still, ongoing environmental monitoring and adaptive management will be key to addressing conservationists’ concerns and ensuring the wetlands’ integrity over the long term.
