Company history and business culture

The story begins in 1963, the year in which the company was founded and began developing its line of business in residential complex construction, developing and selling the properties it constructed. It consolidated this line of business in the following years, culminating in the creation of VAPF S.A. with Spanish capital in 1970. The initials stand for the names of the founding partners and head office in Benissa (Alicante).

The first complex built was “El Serrano” in 1964, located in Benissa municipality and comprising 38 single-family dwellings on the coast with fabulous sea views and an architectural style unique in the area. The complex revealed clues about the innovative nature of the company even then, and this innovation was developed and perfected in subsequent projects.  

A pioneering company in several areas:

• In the development of residential complexes, creating a concept which was completely new in the region: developments with green spaces, leisure areas with tennis courts, riding stables, shopping centres with restaurants and large swimming pools and even discotheques like “El Viñasol”, well known in the area.
• In the customisation of our properties, building tailor-made houses “for and by individualists”, a slogan much used in the first catalogues.
• In our customer relations, being by their side from the outset and offering them a complete service which included making flight reservations for their visit, accommodation during their stay and even acting as rental agency for their property afterwards so that they obtained a guaranteed return on their investment.
• Diversification of lines of business has also been a constant throughout our existence; we have vested interests in carpentry and metalwork companies, food distribution, telecommunications, installations, construction of shopping centres and sports facilities and management of their subsequent leasing, children's play areas and marinas, schools, etc.

This diversification has enabled us to undertake comprehensive property management; through our associate companies we can offer garden and swimming pool maintenance services, house cleaning, rentals, minor works, welcome packs and interior decoration, always working closely with local companies to promote growth in the municipalities where our new developments are located.

A management model, customer relations and constant innovation in property design which have enabled  Grupo VAPF  to develop over 14 residential complexes and built over 8000 homes, bought by families from all over the world.
