Luxury villas in Malecón Tajamar, Cancún

Design, licensing and construction of high-end villas, with remote control for the owner.

Malecón Tajamar is where Cancún’s luxury goes vertical: penthouses and lagoon-view residences beside Puerto Cancún, minutes from the Hotel Zone. A luxury project here is usually a penthouse fit-out, a boutique residential building or a townhouse with a rooftop over the lagoon.

Penthouses and rooftops

Luxury here is measured in terraces, rooftop pools and lagoon views. We design rooftop pools with the structure, waterproofing and drainage they need, and coordinate with the tower’s administration for cranes, hours and shared systems.

Boutique buildings on difficult ground

For new low-rise buildings, fill over lagoon sediment means piles and careful waterproofing. We combine the soil study with an early check of the lot’s environmental status, which buyers and banks ask about here.

City life, lagoon light

Lots face busy avenues on one side and the lagoon on the other. We use acoustic glazing towards the street and open the plan towards the water, with shading for the strong western sun.

How we run a villa at this level

A single contract covers concept, executive design and engineering, filings with the responsible engineer, construction with our own crews, special installations, pool, landscaping and handover with as-built drawings, datasheets and manuals. We coordinate the client’s architect or interior designer where one already exists; we do not insist on also being the authors of the design.

The budget comes out as line items with quantities and unit rates, and every change is priced and signed before it is executed. Payments go against verified progress on site, never against calendar dates.

Remote control and a handover ready to operate

Most of our clients are outside Mexico during construction: a weekly report with dated photographs, a fortnightly video call from site and a live budget available at any time. We work in Spanish, English, German, French, Russian and Chinese.

We hand over an operable house: equipment commissioned, a six-monthly maintenance plan, an inventory of critical spares and, if the property will be rented, the documentation the operator needs from day one. In the restricted zone a bank trust is the usual vehicle, and we coordinate notary and bank in parallel with the works.
