Soto Vera is the latest development in the fastest developing area of Spain. Situated right between the typical villages of Vera and Garrucha, only 30 minutes from Almeria airport and only 5 minutes to the beautiful beach of Garrucha, Soto Vera will be the ideal solution for everybody, who is either looking for a luxurious holiday home, a new home away from home or an excellent investment opportunity.

About 230 Apartments, all finished to the highest standards, will be built on 45.000 square metres, with ample pools, childrens' playground and a private pitch and putt and a driving range, for the avid golfer. Two of the most prestigious golf courses of Spain, Valle del Este and Desert Springs, are no more than 10 minutes away.

The building company for Soto Vera is Blue Diamond Vera S.L. The company was founded in 2000, by Peter Henry Iden. The marketing company is Oasis de Vera, founded in 1998 by his son Marc Peter Iden.

Peter Iden, born in Germany, started his career in building in 1984 in Hamburg, Germany. Acquiring old houses in Hamburg and surroundings, renovating and converting them into luxurious apartments, was his business until 1989. Then the iron curtain fell and East-Germany offered completely new possibilities.

Starting immediately in 1989, Peter Iden was one of the first, to go into former East-Germany. The old Hanse-Town Wismar was the perfect place to go, because it had lots of old buildings and nobody had taken care of them during the communist regime. The business got transferred and within the next ten years, Peter Iden changed the standard of housing in Wismar drastically. Buying these derelict houses and converting them into top-quality apartments is a hard task anyway, but in Germany, with plenty of laws for protection of old buildings and monuments in place, the task becomes even harder.

The sales-side of the business in Hamburg and Wismar was even then run by Marc, his son.

The following photos give you a small impression of the work, done by Peter Iden and his company in Germany:



By the end of 1998, the time was right, to move to Spain. Although settling in the area of Alicante, he immediately acquired a plot of land in the region of Vera. He started his business in Spain with a development of town-houses in Venta la Nuza. Introducing german building quality made this development an immediate success and as Marc had come with him to Spain, the whole business stayed in family hands.

 

Additional to Venta la Nuza, the company did the same as in Germany. Buying old villas and renovating them. New in Spain was for the company to finish houses, which were left from the Spanish builders.

 

 

In 2003 the company started the first development south of Alicante, slowly moving in the direction towards Vera. An apartment-complex in Torrevieja, right in the centre of town, finished to the highest standards. This was unusual for Torrevieja. Marble floors, electric shutters and latex colours are just some of the items, which made the development Antonio Ismael a big success.

Now, as all apartments in Torrevieja are handed over to the new owners, Blue Diamond Vera S.L. is working full time for Soto Vera, which will be built on the plot which was acquired five years ago. These five years were filled with meetings with Mayors, Architects, Lawyers and Engineers, to get all licences and permits.

Now we are at the end of 2005 and the start of Soto Vera is just a few days away. The whole company is excited and looking forward towards this new task. We all know it will be a lot of work, long hours, even on the weekends. But we are geared up for it and we are very certain, Soto Vera will be another success-story for our company.
