Los Arqueros - Insight into The Estate Developer

The majority of people looking to buy a property on the Costa del Sol have heard of the many horror stories regarding corruption and sharp practice employed by the odd unscrupulous developer or agent. Although now due to steps taken by the town hall and new Mayores Angeles Muñoz, the area has undergone a transition, prospective buyers will always do their own round of due diligence before making a purchase. The Los Arqueros development near Benahavis has always been a favourite with Northern Europeans, and a major factor of this popularity has to be the reputation and committment to excellence by the developer Taylor Woodrow.

For the uninitiated here are some of the achievments by this company since their inception in 1921. The company recieved Limited company status in 1935 with a capital value of 3 million Pounds, following on from this the business helped with the contruction of Atlantic House and was one of the first constructors to help the City of London after the hammering it took in World War 2. During the fifties the company had over 250 projects running globally including developments in North America, Africa and Europe as well as its domestic work.

During the sixties the business was the contractor that helped erect a landmark building within Liverpool City Centre, the Christ the King Cathedral, still as iconic structure. The eighties was a time when Taylor Woodrow became the founder member in the consortium to build the channel tunnel, linking mainland UK with France.

The company recently merged with another large UK housebuilder George Wimpey, consolidating their efforts to become the biggest house buildr in England. The Spanish operation continues and given the current climate the group are happy with progress in the region, although they will be looking to exit their Gibraltar operation in the near future. This vast empire, that has been built across the decades should give buyers interested in Los Arqueros a certain degree of confidence given the strong credentials of Taylor Woodrow the developer.
