We do not list everything under construction. We filter by developer track record, actual construction progress and numbers that hold up. We currently have no pre-sale open to the public on this page: when a project we would recommend comes in, the list hears about it first.
In the Caribbean, prices are in dollars, foreign buyers purchase through a fideicomiso and the engine is vacation rental income. In Mexico City, prices are in pesos, foreign purchase is direct and the engine is long-term rental income. Every project we take on is evaluated against the criteria of the market it belongs to.
The differences that change the decision, side by side.
| Riviera Maya | Mexico City | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical currency | Dollars (USD) | Pesos (MXN) |
| Foreign purchase | Fideicomiso (restricted zone) | Direct ownership |
| Primary use | Vacation rental | Long-term rental |
| Cash flow profile | High nightly rate, seasonal occupancy | Stable rent, long contracts |
| Appreciation driver | Scarcity near the sea and marina | Location and minimal vacancy |
We write to you when a project passes our filter, before it reaches public listings.
What we get asked most before entering a pre-sale.
In the Caribbean, prices are typically in dollars, foreign ownership in coastal restricted zones goes through a fideicomiso, and the typical use is vacation rental. In Mexico City, prices are in pesos, foreign buyers purchase direct without a fideicomiso, and the use is long-term rental with more stable cash flow.
Yes. In coastal restricted zones such as Puerto Aventuras, the purchase is made through a bank fideicomiso, the standard and secure legal mechanism. In Mexico City the purchase is direct, without a fideicomiso, because it is not a restricted zone.
The developer's track record and what they have delivered before, actual construction progress against the promised schedule, the complete payment plan including everything paid on top of the list price, and the rental income the market actually supports today, not the brochure projection.
We walk you through the payment plan, actual construction progress and projected appreciation numbers for each project, without inflated projections.
