There has always been a close interest in the Tulum land for sale.  With the history of the high appreciation that has occurred in Cancun, in Playa del Carmen and in the Riviera Maya there is naturally a close following.  In the video below, a new property owner from Texas talks about her dream and her reasons why she invested in the Aldea Zama project in the Tulum real estate region.

On April 25th, the proposals for the Tulum airport will be presented, after being postponed three previous occassions.  The bidding process  by the SCT Secretaria de Comunicaciones y Transportes (the Mexican federal offices of Communication and Transportation) presided by  Dionicio Perez Jacome is overseeing this Riviera Maya project.

The presence of German Larrea of GMexico and Fernando del Bosque GAP as well as Federico Martinez  of TRADECO is expected.  The only one that for sure will not be there is

Fernando Chico Pardo of ASUR who was Banned from the Bidding by  the Federal competition commission even though ASUR has presented a reconsideration recourse.   This represents a $350 MM USD investment to the Tulum real estate region as well as bringing in the interest for the area´s tourism and development, we will see what the Easter Bunnie brings to the Tulum regions at this time.

Some updates for the Tulum real estate region.  The new international airport has been causing much attention to this little village along the Mexican Caribbean.  The latest news on this subject is that ASUR, the airport operator for the Cancun airport and Cozumel airport is out of the bidding for the construction and operation of the Tulum Airport.

Due to the fact that having the same company operating two major airports (Cancun-Tulum) ASUR has been eliminated from the bidding process.   The grounds for the elimination is based on the objective of offering better incentives, prices and offers to the end user.  By having the same operator, the natural competitive factors would be extinguished, therefore ASUR is no longer a bidder for the contract of construction and operation of the Tulum airport that will be granted on May 9^th,2011.

The Playa Del Carmen and Riviera Maya visitors will benefit from this decision taken by the CFC (federal competition commission).  Those who have purchased and will be purchasing Tulum real estate and second homes will benefit from various options and better prices  by having two different companies to compare in regards to fares and services when flying into and from this Mexico real estate region.

In early October, 2010, Mexico’s Ministry of Transport (SCT) started the process to obtain environmental permits for the construction of a new expressway bypass for Tulum, which includes a short extension to the future of the Riviera Maya International Airport, about 8 miles out of town.

This project is considered the most ambitious in the area since 4 lane Cancun-Tulum highway was completed, both in the amount of funds invested as the strategic importance this project will hold for the future development of Tulum real estate.

The new bypass will hold 2 specific benefits for those buying real estate in Tulum.  One is that it will benefit those investing in Mexico land along the Tulum-Coba highway.  The new airport will be located along this highway, and the bypass will intersect with the existing highway just south of the airport.

Several eco-friendly lot developments, such as Los Arboles, and other such projects are located in this area, and will gain more direct access to the Riviera Maya, the stretch of beachfront running north form Tulum through Playa del Carmen to just south of Cancun. Along this stretch, there are a number of golf courses, culture, history and nature focused theme parks, marinas, out-door adventure areas and large shopping centers.

The other area to benefit will be the town center.  As Tulum grows, the municipality aims to preserve the small-town atmosphere which currently draws many visitors, and makes Tulum a prime choice as Mexico retirement community.  The bypass will mean that through traffic and the increasing amount of visitors arriving to the new airport will not be unnnecessarily congesting the town center, helping to preserve this atmosphere.

The expressway section of the bypass will be 26 kilometers (16 miles) long and the branch to the future airport will be 5.6 kilometers (3.5 miles).  The speed limit will be 110 kilometers per hour (70 MPH).  SCT estimated the investment required for project to be a total of 1.425 billion pesos (120 million USD).  The project is part of a larger urban development plan (PDU) which is projecting a population of over 180,000 in Tulum for the year 2030; the current population is less than a third this amount.

What do you think the average price of a typical 2 bedroom condo is today in 2010 and your projection for 2015?

While Mexico homes come in all shapes, sizes, styles and prices, there are a handful which offer a luxury lifestyle at its best; one Tulum beachfront home, Casa Ina Tan Kanab, is an excellent example of this, and just as importantly, is currently for sale at well below the price that a property like this is really worth – with a 36% price reduction!

The home combines some of the best qualities for a luxury lifestyle.  It was designed and built to offer a clean visual atmosphere.  4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms provide comfortable space, and a 2 bedroom guest house provides extra space for large number of visitors.  (The home is also a good choice for rental income – it has a very strong rental history.)  A spacious, open concept living room is only steps down from the kitchen and large windows on 3 sides offer excellent views of the ocean.  There is plenty of parking and spacious yards, gardens and an infinity pool make life comfortable.

The home is located directly on the oceanfront and is a short walk from 2 large, beautiful beach areas.  The village in which it is located, Akumal, is 20 minutes outside of Tulum, and provides residents with an excellent balance of tasteful homes and nature which has been left very much in tact.  There are protected sand dune areas near the village center, and protected sea turtle habitats near the main beach entrance, as well as lagoons surrounded by lush vegetation.  Residents can enjoy beaches among the world’s best, and the original nature that surrounds them.

The town of Tulum also provides benefits for buyers looking for luxury.  The town is currently small, and has a distinct small community atmosphere, which has placed it on a list to be considered for “Magic Town” status – an official recognition from a federal program in Mexico which promotes and invests in towns such as this one.

While rapid growth is expected for Tulum real estate in the near future, a municipal plan has been designed to allow for low-density sustainable development, and to retain the small town atmosphere with new village center areas.  The new airport which is in planning stages will promote this growth, bringing new services, increased rental demand and hence increased value to homes such as this one in Akumal.  Akumal will remain a quaint village while enjoying new services nearby.

In the meantime, most services, as well as a thriving nightlife, can be found in Playa del Carmen, about 40 minutes away.  Many activities, including world-class golf, marinas and theme parks are available between Akumal and Playa del Carmen.  About an hour and 15 minutes away is the Cancun International Airport.

While some luxury homes in Akumal with this ideal combination of features – location, design, size and lifestyle – are being sold for around 2 million dollars, this home was listed at only 1.4 million.  It has been reduced from this price to $899,000 by a very motivated seller!

I took a quick visit to the Tulum real estate region this afternoon.  It is always fun to visit this up and coming town because there always seems to be something new.  Today, I thought I would let my photos do most of the talking.

When many people imagine the Tulum Real Estate market….this is what usually comes to mind.

Many people are surprised, as I was today to see a variety of new projects being constructed.  This is a small complex, 8 units, shared garden areas with beautiful pool, all within walled perimeter in the Tulum center.

The thatched roof on this building is a common site here in Tulum and gives the ambiance of the region.  This design actually is quite practical as it absorbs the direct rays of the sun, and the open patio allows for the ocean breezes to distribute the build up of the temperature.

Thinking of retiring in Mexico, down here in Tulum?  Ok, this type of layout and the majority of them being single story looks incredibly inviting.

Do you want to get lost in the Tulum jungle?  Eco living, live off the land, solar energy, wind power….that can be found here in the Tulum real estate region too.

Check out this outdoor bathtub.  Don`t worry about the neighbors seeing you,  take a look at that jungle.  No one can see you except the monkeys.

If being off the grid is too extreme for you, check out the wide avenues, underground electric, fiber optics, and other services this project is offering.

Well, after a long day of work,  might as well wind her down a little by checking out one of my favorite beaches.

Are you ready for an early retirement in luxury?  One Tulum beachfront home, Casa Ina Tan Kanab, provides an ideal opportunity for an active retirement in a property with high-quality design, located in an environment-focused community, and close to many activities and services.

This home was created by Dallas architect George Woo, whose work includes several luxury homes in that area as well international projects.  His design is modern, clean and elegant – ideal for a relaxing retirement lifestyle.  The living room offers one-hundred and eighty degree views of the ocean, and there is an infinity pool, as well as large yard and garden areas.  There are 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, plus an extra guest house.  At the back, there is lush, green vegetation.

Close contact with nature, and an effort to preserve it and include it in development has in many ways help define Tulum real estate.  If you want to retire in an eco-friendly community, Tulum, located on the Yucatan Peninsula, about an hour and a half from Cancun, is one of your best choices.  The village of Akumal, 20 minutes away, where this home is located, is no exception.  In addition to sand-dune preservation and sea turtle protection areas, residents enjoy close access to beautiful nature, both on the beachfront, and in the surrounding lagoons.

One of the defining points of Mexico retirement has become the excellent quality of services available; just down the road in Playa del Carmen (a 40 minute drive), there are new malls, large screen theaters, which play movies in English and world-class hospitals – a little bonus is that they cost around 50% less than comparable hospitals in the U.S.!  There are also many excellent golf courses (one PGA), and several marinas in the area.  The Cancun international airport provides direct flights to many cities within the U.S. and Canada.

Tulum itself is also on the verge of growing significantly, which will make retirement more convenient.  New upscale neighborhoods with stylish village centers are begin to sell homes and land.  A new international airport is in the bidding stage for private construction and operation rights.  But Tulum has also taken a special angle, designing an urban growth plan to promote low-density development which respects the area’s natural setting.

While conveniences grow in Tulum, both Tulum and Akumal will retain their small-town atmosphere, and continue to provide high-quality retirement lifestyle with a consideration for nature.

The growth in the area will also increase rental demand; for any retiree who buys this home and uses it only part of the year, a considerable income can be gained in this way.  The current owner has enjoyed a very successful return through his rentals.

Consider a luxury retirement on the Tulum beachfront.

Maybe spend it all on travelling? Maybe invest it? Why not both?  One Tulum beachfront home, the well-designed Casa Ina Tan Kanab, is an excellent choice for combining luxury vacations and enjoying  a good return on a property investment.

This Mexico home is one of the original and highest quality available in the village of Akumal, which is on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan, not far from Playa del Carmen and Cancun. What, exactly, makes this house a good way to spend those million dollars?

The Location – The home is located directly on the beachfront in the Mexico real estate region of Akumal.  It is a short walk to two of Akumal’s best beaches.  Akumal is charming town with a good deal of high-end homes, and with a special focus on environmental preservation, just as much of the Tulum area.  Within a 40 minute drive, residents have access to all the services of Playa del Carmen (malls, hospitals, restaurants, movie theaters, etc.) and a bit more than an hour away is the Cancun International Airport.  There are also plans for an international airport directly in Tulum.  For this reason it is not surprising that similar Akumal real estate is being listed for over $2 million USD.

The Price Reduction – This home is probably really worth closer up towards the $2 million mark, but was originally listed low at $1.4 million.  The owner, hoping to sell quickly, has reduced this price by 36% to $899,000!  Reselling the home in the future for a significantly higher price should be possible – the new airport also points to rising prices in the area.

The Design – This 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home was designed and built by an experienced international architect, with a modern, slightly minimalist design, idea for oceanfront relaxation.  It includes an infinity pool, and large yard and garden spaces.  There are wide, panoramic views of the ocean, and elegant furnishings and decorations.

The Rental Income – Tulum and Akumal’s green tourism focus continues to attract higher numbers of visitors.  Demand for luxury vacation rental is rising as a comfortable (and less expensive) alternative to high-end resorts.  This home continues to provide a significant for the current owner, who has covered ownership costs while enjoying the home for his own vacations.  The home is already booked full for Christmas/New Years 2010.

The new growth seen in Tulum, both in terms of real estate and tourism, points to two very good investment possibilities with this home.  And, like the current owner, you can also enjoy your own vacations in style …

One of the best possible vacation property purchases is one which can double as an investment; when a property has a high rental demand, you can justify investing more of your funds, knowing that extra expense will be more than covered by the income. One Tulum beachfront home provides a luxury vacation lifestyle, and a prime example of how the same property can bring excellent investment return.

This luxury Mexico home is located in the village of Akumal, which is just a short drive north of Tulum, one of the most promising up-and-coming tourism spots on the the Mexican Caribbean, already famous for places like Cancun and Playa del Carmen (40 minutes and 1 hour and 15 minutes away from Akumal, respectively).  Each location provides close access to many convenient services, ranging from an international airport to modern hospitals to golf courses and English movie theaters.

Located directly on the oceanfront, within walking distance to two of the area’s most beautiful beaches, the home itself includes over 3000 sq. ft of construction, with 4 bedrooms, and a living room with 180 degree views of the ocean.  The modern minimalist design offers a relaxing atmosphere. There is also a 2 bedroom guest home.  The area is ideal for vacationing, combining complete relaxation with many conveniences.

For this same reason, the home has a very high and ongoing demand for vacation rentals.  The current owner has covered expenses of ownership in this way, and continues to enjoy significant income.  The guest home can also provide a separate rental unit.

In addition to the rental income, the home also promises excellent return on the property value; Tulum real estate in the area with similar features and rental potential is being sold for over $2 million.  This home is currently listed at only $899,000, significantly reduced by an owner motivated to sell quickly.

With a new airport on the way, and a well-designed urban growth plan already including a handful of upscale developments, value of real estate in the Tulum area looks like it’s headed upward.  This home will probably show a sale value of closer to the $2 million in the future.  Increasing tourism also suggests that rental demand will grow.

If you are looking for a vacation property that will be a real financial investment, consider this Tulum home.  You will  not be disappointed, either by the lifestyle or the income you enjoy.

At a 36% price reduction, Casa Ina Tan Kanab, a luxury home in the village of Akumal, is one of the best deals currently to be found on the Tulum beachfront real estate market.  See Video below!

This home, located directly on the beach, was originally listed at $1,400,000 USD, and is probably worth more.  A home right next to it is listed at $2,000,000.  Casa Ina Tan Kanab can also boast an elegant, clean contemporary design by a George Woo, an architect based in Dallas, Texas, who has designed some very high profile homes in that city, as well as numerous large projects in China, including the recent Bank of China Head Office building.  This home in Tulum has won several awards and has been featured in several international magazines.

Recently the price was reduced to $899,000!

Akumal, about 40 minutes away from Playa del Carmen and 20 minutes away from the town of Tulum, is a quaint village, which is a favorite for buyers looking for Caribbean beachfront luxury at its best.  Separated enough from the main growth centers at Playa del Carmen and more recently Tulum, the village maintains its pristine atmosphere of beautiful nature, which has been very well preserved and integrated into the village’s development and quiet beaches, while still being close enough to enjoy all of the services and conveniences.  For this reason luxury homes on Akumal’s beachfront tend to be worth over a million, when well priced.

Casa Ina Tan Kanab offers 4 bedrooms, 4 and a half bathrooms, furnishings and a guest home, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.  With 180 degree views of the ocean, this home has also provided an excellent vacation rental income, making this Tulum beachfront real estate an eye browse rising bargain.

The home is ideal either for Mexico real estate investors who wish to take advantage of the great rental potential and/or the large price reduction to gain excellent return, or for vacationers who like to enjoy very relaxing and convenient stays on the beach, in style, while still having the possibility to cover expenses through more occasional rental to other vacationers.

This will be one of the most important announcements to affect this growing region of the Mexico real estate market this year.   This major infrastructure investment, which has been delayed for various reasons over the past three years, will be developed upon land in the new municipality of Tulum.   The international airport is to be  located  on the recently renewed Tulum – Coba Hwy.

While the new airport represents an initial investment of three billion pesos, an estimated additional works will require a similar investment for service facilities such as gas stations, maintenance workshops and operating centers and business offices will work in the area, this  translates into Tulum real estate opportunity.

According to the state  government, when the work enters its most important construction phase, it will generate a demand of 50 thousand workers, in addition to architects, engineers, technicians and other professionals and indirect jobs.

The Riviera Maya had in 2009, 2.8 million visitors, the government estimates that by 2025 the figure will grow to 17.9 million, Cancun now gets 12.6 million tourists, and has no place to grow, whereas the number of rooms in the Riviera Maya is estimated to increase from 37 ,600 up to 110 thousand over the next 15 years.

The Tulum Real Estate region has been growing with bounds in the past several years.  With the economic slowdown in 2009, and a change in the demand, Mr. Fernando Huerta from the company “Ferarma Bufete Inmobiliario” developer of MadreSelva signature condominiums in Sirenis, Akumal, between Tulum and Playa del Carmen, have announced some new attractive features, setting new standards for the area of Akumal and Tulum real estate markets.

 “Although we did not have the intention of providing all these features in our Sirenis offer, we have decided to guarantee investors the peace of mind in terms of legalities and ownership certainty. We feel it is important for the foreign investor to know that MadreSelva has the capacity to ensure that every dollar invested in our Tulum condo project is a solid decision,” said Mr. Huerta.

“We were initially attracted by the accessibility and beauty of the complex, the oceanfront and highway 307 access, surrounded by the exuberant Mayan jungle,” he added.  “A gated community with its own potable water system and grey water treatment made a difference for us. We just needed to provide signature architecture, unique design and topnotch construction. Condominium regiment in place before putting the units on the market is our policy,”

 With a few units left Ferarma feels it’s appropriate to offer the avid investor legal features to guarantee peace of mind and erase any possible doubt in the back of their minds. In January the company will make an official announcement of the unique legal and financing features offered with this project.

Ferarma Bufete Inmobiliario S.A. de C.V. is a Mexico real estate development corporation, established in Mexico city, with operations both in Quintana Roo and Mexico City. The founding partners combined their long experience and many achievements in the construction and real estate sectors in order to develop high value, quality and trustworthy residences.  Their development portfolio includes condominium buildings like “Residencial Morena” in “Colonia del Valle,” Condominium Homes in the “Club de Golf Hacienda” area and “MadreSelva condominium” in “Sirenis” were Ferarma plans to develop 2 more stages in the near future.

Working in the Tulum real estate industry, we need to keep a close eye on activities, on news, on events that will effect the market.  We are a small town, but with the natural attractions of the Caribbean beaches and cenotes, it has become one of the regions most observed for its appreciation potential.  In the past several months, many people have asked me about the latest information regarding the Tulum International Airport and how this will play upon the market.

 
What I can tell you is that The state government through its transportation and infrastructure Secretary is pushing the Federal Government to publicize the licitation results of the contract for the month of February. 

The secretary has stated that it is a very important project for Quintana Roo and it is a Federal government concession.  Furthermore the Secretaria de la Reforma Agraria, (which is the entity that regularizes the tenancy of National lands and ejidolands) has secured adjacent parcels to provide the certainty that the project requires.

The Secretary has also informed that the Chetumal Airport landing strip will be expanded by 800 M to raise it to international standards. 

The future of Quintana Roo, the Mexican Caribbean, and specifically the Tulum real estate market is looking very bright.  Many people have already invested into the region while the prices have been more than 35% less than like properties in Cancun for example.  But given the rapid real estate growth witnessed the past five years in the Playa del Carmen real estate market, these investors are betting that Tulum will repeat the trends and possibly have an even stronger growth rate.
