Building in Playa del Carmen as a Foreigner

Playa del Carmen is the easiest place to build in the Riviera Maya: established suppliers, the fastest municipal permits (4–12 weeks) and no SEMA requirement outside protected zones. Foreign owners buy and build through a fideicomiso (bank trust) — we coordinate it with your bank and notary.

We know every colonia: Playacar (gated, golf, premium resale), Centro/Gonzalo Guerrero (walk to the beach, best Airbnb occupancy), Ejidal & Villas del Sol (best value, 8–12% rental yields), Playa Magna & Real Ibiza (family living). Land runs $100–$800 USD/m² by zone.
