Turnkey new builds in Villa Magna, Cancún: design, permits, foundation, structure and finishes under one contract, one site manager and one fixed price.
Recrea has been building houses in Villa Magna and Cancún’s consolidated residential areas since 2008 — 196+ completed projects across the Riviera Maya. Our architecture, electrical, carpentry and ironwork crews are in-house, so your build does not depend on subcontractors who appear and vanish.
Real budgets for a completed build, excluding land and furniture. The range depends on the finish level: economy, mid or premium (chukum, hardwood, designer kitchen, infinity pool).
| House size | Construction cost | Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| 100 m² house | $2.0M – $3.1M MXN | $110,000 – $171,000 USD |
| 150 m² house | $3.2M – $5.6M MXN | $177,000 – $309,000 USD |
| 200 m² house | $4.3M – $7.4M MXN | $238,000 – $409,000 USD |
| 300 m² house | $9.1M – $16.8M MXN | $503,000 – $928,000 USD |

Permits: Construction permits, licences and DRO
The construction process is the same one we run across the Riviera Maya: lot review, concept design, construction documents, permits, foundation, shell, services and finishes, then turnkey handover. See the full process with per-stage timings.
The breakdown of what the price per m² includes and excludes is common to all our projects.
In Benito Juárez the building licence goes through the Urban Development office with a DRO-endorsed project. Puerto Cancún and the Hotel Zone add FONATUR sign-off and, on beachfront lots, a ZOFEMAT concession. Gated communities such as Cumbres, Aqua and Lagos also run a design committee with height, façade and working-hours rules.
Limestone with fill areas and a high water table near the Nichupté lagoon. The soil study sets the foundation type and the damp-proofing strategy; on lots near the lagoon, reinforced waterproofing and anti-corrosion protection of the rebar are mandatory.
Villa Magna is one of Cancún’s most exclusive and established residential areas: security, quiet and sustained appreciation. Established also means few free lots remain, so much of the work here is full renovation, extension or replacement of an existing house — with the advantage of services already in place and the constraint of building alongside neighbours.
