Despite continued Brexit uncertainty, investors, developers and funding institutions have maintained their faith in the off-plan property market in Gibraltar. The recent completion of Clemence Suites has been well received by purchasers and tenants alike. Apartments coming onto the rental market have been snapped up very quickly. Even the Finance Centre like it, awarding the development Cat 2 status, the first such accolade in the rapidly improving Devil’s Tower Road.
There has been more good news for off-plan investors as the Income Tax Office has confirmed to Chestertons, that certain developments will meet the requirements of the Off-Plan Tax Credit, a tax credit which allows the first two year’s of property rental tax-free.
A summary of the status of each off-plan development is below and is correct as at the publication date of this blog.
E1
The same developer has just completed Clemence Suites. E1 is now under construction and financed by NatWest Bank. Completion of 174 apartments in this unique development with high quality in-house facilities is forecast in January 2022. All pre-launch sales targets were met and a fresh release of fully furnished and equipped apartments is due imminently. The E1 Wellness Spa and Gym looks great and Pressto Dry Cleaners are confirmed tenants and the wine vaults next door opened a few months ago. We act as development consultant and the development is exclusive to Chestertons.

EuroCity
Construction of this major prestigious development is marginally ahead of schedule. First instalment notices on Carrara are due to be sent out during September 2019 with Murano following a few weeks later. Eurocity won a range of awards last year in the European Property Awards including Best High Rise Residential Development and Best Mixed Use Residential Development. The developer has given us exclusive access to a small number of additional properties in Carrara for sale. EuroCity is a prestigious mixed use development in Gibraltar’s business district. The views, the design, the high grade specification, the pools, gardens and retail amenities have already made EuroCity a sought after location in Gibraltar’s property sector. Chestertons act as development consultant.

Clemence Suites
This fine looking development from the developers of E1 has now completed and first occupants have moved in. Such is the demand for rental accommodation that we have signed off on eighteen tenancy agreements during August on behalf of different investors. There are some Clemence Suites resales and further Clemence Suites rentals available.

Sylvian Suites
We sold 28 of 38 properties (studios and one beds) in the first sales phase before the summer. The extensive refurbishment and reconstruction of this small development close to Prior Park School and the Arches is now underway. The remaining 10 units will be released shortly starting at just below £4,000 per sq metre. This is great value for anyone seeking to live close to the town centre and not having to wait too long for completion which we expect in Jan 2021. Contact us as development consultant and main agent if interested.
