UPDATED: ZAMA VILLAGE CONDO BUILDING IS ALREADY FINISHED. RENT THE BEST PENTHOUSE CONDO AT ALDEA ZAMA HERE, 2-BEDROOMS 2-BATHROOMS, 2 PRIVATE JACUZZIS AND AN EXCLUSIVE ROOFGARDEN FOR JUST $700/WEEK (INAUGURATION PROMOTION)

The construction works at Zama Village are progressing very fast. With only 6 units left (out of 36), the building is already erected and even some thatched roof are already installed.

Zama Village will be the first condo building in Aldea Zama, and will most likely accelerate the development of other projects in the neighborhood. The developers of Zama Villa (Grupo Kaua, who share some of the owners of Aldea Zama) are already planning a second stage of Zama Village.

The real estate market in Tulum remains vibrant, with many developments under the way. The completion of Zama Village will be a good push for a market with many developments and few finished constructions.

The Mayan Riviera Airport (Tulum) auction will be re-launched

Last June 13th 2011, the under-secretary of Infrastructure Fausto Barajas confirmed that the international bidding process for the construction of the Mayan Riviera Airport (the Tulum Airport) will be re-launched after the failed auction of last May 20th.  Mr Fausto Barajas confirmed the development of tourism infrastructure is high priority for the SCT (Transport and Communications Secretariat).

The announcement happened just after a meeting between the governor of the Quintana Roo state (where Tulum, Playa del Carmen and Cancun are located) Mr Roberto Borge Angulo and Dionisio Pérez Jácome, the head of the SCT.

The auction still does not have a date, the functionaries committed publicly to start working on that after the said announcement.  The project has a priority in the federal agenda as the tourism sector represents just over 10% of Mexico’s GDP.   The Mayan Riviera Airport project is estimated to cost some $270m, and there were at least 5 groups interested in the previous auction.

 

 

The Tulum Airport (Aeropuerto de la Riviera Maya) not dead

The Tulum (Mexico) Airport project is back and actively pushed by the Quintana Roo’s (the Mexican State where Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum are located) Roberto Borge Angulo.  He had just (June 13th, 2011) had a meeting with the head of the SCT, the Federal Government transport secretariat, Mr. Dionisio Pérez Jácome to claim for a renewed bidding process.  A former bidding process was declared “void” in May 2011 as according to the SCT none of the bidders complied with the technical requirements asked by the Federal Government.

Despite some people are suspicious the project could be a victim of a political struggle (the state is run by the PRI party, while the Federal Government is in the hands of the PAN party), the Tulum/Riviera Maya Airport project was sponsored by Juan Carlos Pereyra Escudero, a PRI state representative and supported unanimously by all the other parties in the Quintana Roo state, including the PAN.

UPDATED: ZAMA VILLAGE CONDOS ARE ALREADY FINISHED AND AVAILABLE FOR VACATION RENTAL.  RENT THE BEST TULUM CONDO, A 2 BEDROOM PENTHOUSE WITH PRIVATE JACUZZIS AND AN EXCLUSIVE ROOF GARDEN FOR JUST US$ 700 PER WEEK (INAUGURATION PROMOTION)

Zama Village, the first premium development inside Aldea Zama is almost sold out.  According to the project developers, as of today (june 7th, 2011) there are only 9 condos left.  Prices have already gone up by 12% due to the early success.

As a result of the accelerated sales, Grupo Kaua (the developers) are analyzing a second project similar to Zama Village.  Certainly Zama Village is one of the best Tulum developments (probably the best).

Vive Riviera Maya, a jungle development in Tulum

Vive Riviera Maya is one of the first developments on the jungle side of the road near Tulum (15 miles). Actually, Vive Riviera Maya’s closest town is Chemuyil, only 2 miles away from the development’s gates.

Vive Riviera Maya offers large lots of 1 hectare / 2.47 acres, of which 10%-20% can be urbanized.  Most of the lots of the first phase are already sold, and the owners are waiting for the basic infrastructure to start building.  There are already some 6-7 projects under construction and a luxury house fully constructed (see pictures in the gallery above).

Though the development is on the jungle side of the highway, the beaches of Xcacel-Xcacelito (a tortue sanctuary) are very near (5 miles) and connected to the Vive Riviera Maya road by a newly constructed bridge over the highway.  Because of its jungle location, prices are really affordable, starting around $40.000 – $ 50.000.  Jungle location, is yet a second best for the Mayan Riviera investors, as most of the development happens on the beach side of the highway, however I think it has some key advantages: a more natural environment, better protection against hurricanes and still close to the beach.  For information on this development you can reach Mariela Tugores, a real estate agent with experience in the area at: mariela@schimar.com or +52155 1510 3210

Tulum will have its own airport

So far, to get to Tulum you need to fly to Cancun, 90 minutes away by car.  The development of the Tulum airport (Mayan Riviera Airport) will make it a lot easier and faster to get to Tulum.

On April 27th 2011, the competing groups Tradeco, Grupo Mexico, Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico, Aeropuerto de Cancun, Servicios Aeroportuarios del Surest y Haig Gulesserian presented their technical and financial proposals to build and operate the airport.

The SCT (Mexico’s transport and communications regulatory body) now has 18 days to review the technical proposal and go ahead with the financial offers of the finalists.

The prices of the land and the new real estate developments in around Tulum (many of them on the airport area) are expected to raise as a result of the better access.
