The Basque developer Loiola has chosen Huelva as its gateway to the Andalusian market with the ambitious Sagitta urban development project in El Rompido (Cartaya), an initiative spanning 130 hectares and planning nearly 1,000 homes, alongside a significant investment in sustainability.

This large-scale development, which combines residential, tourist, and leisure uses, marks Loiola's entry into the Andalusian real estate sector. The Sagitta project, already underway, anticipates the arrival of its first residents by early 2028.
The initiative, covering 130 hectares, will include sports facilities, such as a golf course, hotel spaces, commercial offerings, and extensive green areas. Loiola, part of the Uria Corporación group with over six decades of experience and 5,000 homes developed, thus reinforces the appeal of the Huelva coast as a real estate investment destination.
The project's impact will also extend to employment, with an estimated creation of 220 direct and indirect jobs. The company will prioritize hiring local personnel, especially in the municipality of Cartaya, and will collaborate with local suppliers to boost the regional economy.
Sagitta is conceived as a mixed development focused on residential well-being and leisure, incorporating sustainability criteria in both its construction and spatial planning. The initial phase will involve the construction of 146 homes, comprising 106 multi-family apartments and 40 semi-detached villas.
Beyond real estate promotion, a fundamental pillar of the project is environmental intervention. Loiola will allocate an initial investment of 2 million euros to an environmental plan focused on ecosystem regeneration and landscape integration. This plan includes planting over 3,400 trees, 5,500 shrubs, and creating 5,000 square meters of native meadows, as well as establishing a river park and restoring wetlands. Planned actions include the renaturalization of the Cañada de la Viga stream, the reintroduction of native species like juniper, and the improvement of degraded areas, alongside interventions in the road network with climate-adapted species capable of capturing CO₂.
The project also incorporates sustainable mobility measures, such as bike lanes and access improvements, aligning with a model that seeks to integrate urban development with the natural environment and enhance the quality of life for future residents. This operation represents the entry of a new national player into Huelva's real estate market, at a time of coastal investment reactivation, where large-scale residential and tourist projects are gaining prominence. Sagitta is positioned as one of the most significant ongoing developments on the Huelva coast due to its scale and comprehensive approach.
