Condo Renovation in the south Hotel Zone: apartments in beach and lagoon towers
Older luxury condos between Ballenas and Punta Nizuc are being renovated to compete with the new towers: new glazing, kitchens, bathrooms and finishes. We renovate apartments in the beach and lagoon towers along Kukulcán Boulevard: from new floors and paint to complete interiors with kitchen, bathrooms, carpentry, A/C and lighting, coordinated with the building administration.
What we do
Cosmetic refresh
Paint, floors, lighting and fixtures in days, not months.
Kitchen remodel
Custom cabinetry, quartz or stone tops and built-in appliances.
Bathroom remodel
Waterproofed walk-in showers, large-format tile and new plumbing to the riser.
Floors and carpentry
Porcelain, wood-look and stone floors, doors, closets and wall panels.
A/C and electrical
Inverter A/C, new circuits, lighting scenes and smart controls.
Windows and balconies
Sealing, impact glass and balcony finishes approved by the building.
Condo Renovation in the south Hotel Zone
Older luxury condos between Ballenas and Punta Nizuc are being renovated to compete with the new towers: new glazing, kitchens, bathrooms and finishes.
The newest and highest-priced residential stock of the Hotel Zone: luxury towers, penthouses and branded residences, alongside older beachfront condos; owners often live abroad and buy for second home or rental.
The setting: Open Caribbean beach and Nichupté lagoon
This is the most exposed stretch: high-energy surf, beach erosion, sargassum and full hurricane loads. Toward Punta Nizuc the coast borders the marine national park, so works near the shore face environmental limits.
Towers, administrations and work hours
Every tower has its own regulations: approval of the work plan, set hours for noisy work, booking of the service lift, protection of common areas, deposits and insurance certificates. We prepare that package before starting, so the administration has no reason to stop the job.
Older towers, salt and two waterfronts
Many Hotel Zone towers are 30 to 40 years old and face the sea on one side and the lagoon on the other. We check risers, the electrical feed and balcony concrete before closing walls, and use stainless, marine-grade hardware and sealed frames that do not rust or stain.
Rules in this sector
Luxury towers apply strict fit-out manuals, insurance and deposits; branded residences may limit what owners change; beach works need ZOFEMAT and federal environmental review. Works inside towers need the administration's written approval, registered and insured crews, booked service-lift slots and protection of corridors and lifts.
Managed for owners who live abroad
You get one English-speaking project manager and one WhatsApp group, a weekly photo and video report, a live budget and payments by milestone after each stage is checked; most owners only fly in for handover.
