New listing !

In the south of Tenerife, where every year more companies are looking for space and fewer are finding it, having development-ready industrial land has become a competitive advantage. In Llano del Camello, one of the most active business areas in the south of Tenerife, a 723 m2 plot is available that allows the construction of up to 573 m2 of industrial warehouse space, an opportunity that has practically disappeared from the market. It is a consolidated urban plot with the possibility of starting the project from day one. For many business owners, the search for industrial premises has become a constant frustration: what is available for sale is outdated, what is available for rent does not fit their needs, and landlords keep increasing prices because they know there are no alternatives. This plot completely changes that scenario. Here, you are not dependent on a landlord, renovations, or rents that increase every year. This plot offers something that the market no longer provides: freedom. Freedom to decide the layout, height, electrical capacity, flooring, access points, and every operational detail. Freedom for the warehouse to adapt to the business owner, rather than the business owner adapting to the warehouse. In an environment where the supply of modern industrial warehouses is virtually non-existent, this plot becomes a way to secure your own space today, prepared to support your company’s long-term growth. MAIN USE: Industrial use in a small-industry zone: light and heavy industry, workshops (industrial, vehicle, domestic, artisanal), warehousing, agricultural and livestock activities, etc. LAYOUT: It allows for the development of a 540 m2 warehouse with 36 metres of clear depth (6 modules × 6 m = 7 frames), a 15-metre frontage, a 2.2-metre rear yard—or 573 m2 if the full 38 metres are utilised—and heights of 7.5 metres to the eaves and 9.5 metres to the ridge. The total buildable area reaches 1,341 m2. The plot is regular in shape and has minimal slope, making construction cleaner and more predictable than on other plots requiring significant excavation work. From the time of purchase, it is possible to have a custom-built warehouse completed within 8 to 12 months. COST: The construction cost of a steel warehouse with local concrete block walls and a sandwich-panel roof ranges between €150,000 and €210,000. The Canary Islands tax regime adds a unique advantage: the plot qualifies for RIC and ZEC investment schemes, and the Canary Islands Investment Deduction allows a 25% reduction in Corporate Income Tax on the construction investment. CONTEXT: Llano del Camello is currently the most active business hub in the south of Tenerife, with more than 300 companies operating there, including Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, IKEA, LIDL, ALDI, Conforama, Worten, COIMCA, Compañía Cervecera de Canarias, River Sur, BigMat and Olivera Canarias. It offers immediate access to the motorway, is 10 minutes from Tenerife South Airport and 15 minutes from Adeje and the Port of Granadilla. The road infrastructure improvements along this corridor, now completed, are part of a public investment exceeding €63 million, which has improved accessibility, traffic flow and safety.[IW]
