Apartment & Condo Building Construction in the Riviera Maya

We build turnkey apartment buildings and condo developments in Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Cancun and the whole Riviera Maya — from feasibility and land use to a building ready for pre-sale or rental. Concrete structure, permits, DRO and a fixed-price contract. 18+ years and 196 projects.

Apartment building in the Riviera Maya 2026: from $12M MXN (4 units) to $60M+ MXN (12–16-unit boutique). In pre-sale, a well-located development typically returns a 25–40% margin over build cost plus land.

What the Turnkey Multifamily Development Includes

Feasibility & Unit Mix

We analyze density, land use and the optimal unit mix (studios, 1 and 2 bed) to maximize the return.

Design for Pre-Sale

Architecture, amenities and common areas (rooftop, pool, lobby) designed to sell or rent fast.

Land Use, Density & DRO

We handle land use, density, building license, DRO and — in Tulum — SEMA environmental authorization.

Concrete Structure

Engineered foundations for karst soil, concrete structure and shell with quality control.

Amenities & Common Areas

Roof garden, pool, gym, lobby and parking that raise the sale value per m².

Per-Unit ROI Model

We hand you build costs, sale/rental price per unit and the development's expected margin.

Condo Development in the Riviera Maya: What to Know

The Riviera Maya is in a real-estate boom: Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Cancun absorb thousands of new units a year, driven by vacation rental and migration. A well-executed apartment building is one of the most profitable projects — it can be sold in pre-sale (financing part of construction with deposits) or held for Airbnb rental. The keys are feasibility (land use and allowed density), the right unit mix, amenities that sell (rooftop, pool) and a well-founded concrete structure on the karst soil. We build turnkey — feasibility, design, permits, DRO and construction — with a fixed-price contract, milestone payments and warranty, in any city in the region.

Cost and Return by Building Type (2026)

Frequently Asked Questions

In 2026, from $12M MXN for a 4-unit building, $22M–$38M MXN for 6–8 units, and $45M–$70M+ MXN for a 12–16-unit boutique. Cost depends on unit count, zone, amenities and finishes; land is acquired separately.

Both work. Pre-sale recovers capital fast and finances part of construction with deposits; holding for Airbnb rental generates long-term cash flow. We hand you a model with both scenarios.

A well-located building typically returns a 25–40% margin over build cost plus land, depending on the zone and pre-sale execution. In premium Tulum and Playa del Carmen zones it can be higher.

Yes. We run the land-use and density feasibility, the building license, the DRO and SEMA environmental authorization in Tulum. It's the first step before design.

Yes. We design engineered foundations suited to the Riviera Maya's limestone and water table, with a soil study and on-site quality control.
