The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) has given the go-ahead for the Caleta Maya real estate development. This project is part of the Puerto Aventuras tourist complex and will provide a boost to the high-value housing market in the area.
The project's promoter is Ricardo Federico Santibañez Cepeda and the property is owned by a trust set up by Santander Bank. The bank plans to invest around 42 million pesos in the complex, which is situated south of Playa del Carmen.
The Caleta Maya project will see the construction of a condominium complex with 10 apartments spread across three four-story towers, complete with a rooftop solarium. The ground floor will house a building with three apartments, alongside amenities such as stairs, an elevator, walkways, parking, a pool, landscaped areas, modified green spaces, and conservation areas.
The project will cover a total area of 1,604.01 m2, representing 40% of the property. Meanwhile, an area of 2,205.51 m2, or 55% of the property, will be preserved for conservation. A further 5% of the property (200.50 m2) will be designated as a modified green area, where the removal of herbaceous vegetation and coastal scrub will occur, as per the Environmental Impact Statement.
Previously, this project had been turned down, leading to a resubmission of the environmental impact project to the federal agency. Semarnat has now approved a construction timeline of five years, with a projected operation period of 100 years for the project, as stated in the Semarnat Ecological Gazette on Friday, September 6.
