Mexican Retirement Community in Playa del Carmen Receives Building License

Exciting news for those retirees and others looking for an excellent Mexico real estate option: one Mexican retirement community in Playa del Carmen, a new development called La Escondida, has just received its building license!  This means that the physical stages of preparing the land for construction can get underway, beginning the process of converting the excellent plans into reality.

David Pepper, the developer invited me to go with him to see and celebrate his milestone event at Playa del Carmen’s city hall.  Below is a photo of David and I in front of the municipality offices with the official permit.

What do these plans include?  La Escondida is a gated, eco-friendly boutique resort, which offers excellent Playa del Carmen homes and condos, and much, much more.

The central concept in La Escondida is design and services focused on creating a lifestyle for residents.  The development focuses on community-centered items much more than most other developments of this kind.  These items include the fact that only 28% of the space is used for residential construction; the other 72% will be green space, swimming pools, a club house and welcome area, putting greens, and playgrounds for children – ideal for families, or for retirees with grandchildren visiting.  The clubhouse includes areas for socializing, a library, and a fitness center.  There will be many planned events in the community.

Grocery delivery and personal chef services mean a complete lifestyle can be enjoyed within La Escondida.  A new mall within walking distance also offers several large international-style stores, as well a movie theatre (movies are usually played in English).

In addition to the complete lifestyle offered within the community, La Escondida is planned to allow residents full enjoyment of the Playa del Carmen area.  There is a concierge service, and an environment-friendly shuttle service to take residents to any part within the city limits, including the beach or Fifth Avenue (the city’s main street, a pedestrian walkway with many restaurants, bars, shops and cafes) both of which are about 10 minutes away.  A tour service will plan outings to the nearby attractions, which include eco-parks, Mayan ruins and historic cities.  Nearby marinas make enjoying deep-sea fishing or sailing easy, and the area’s 8 golf courses have earned Playa del Carmen the title of Latin America’s golf capital.

La Escondida is one of the best examples of a development that offers much more than high-quality homes; it offers a community, and it offers a lifestyle.  The construction license is an important step forward in seeing this excellent plan unfold.  Follow our blog for future updates on this project, or contact us for purchasing details.
