Historic Investment Boosts Real Estate Growth in Yucatán

Yucatán continues to solidify its position as one of Mexico’s most attractive regions for real estate investment. Governor Joaquín Díaz Mena led two significant events marking a historic investment of nearly 7 billion pesos in the state's real estate sector.

New Residential Development: Residencial Punto Maya

The governor, alongside Miguel Ángel Cagnasso Cantú, Director General and partner at Misión Obispado, inaugurated the highly anticipated Residencial Punto Maya project in the municipality of Ucú. With an investment of 5.5 billion pesos, this development will bring 3,500 new homes to the area, generating over 250 direct jobs and prioritizing local labor and suppliers.

Strategically located just six minutes from Mérida’s Periférico, the project will also benefit from its proximity to the upcoming Anillo Metropolitano and the Tren Maya, ensuring seamless connectivity to hospitals, shopping centers, and other essential services.

"This project represents hundreds of opportunities for our people," said Governor Díaz Mena. "Its location and integration with major infrastructure projects will enhance the quality of life for future residents while strengthening the local economy."

Expansion of Distrito Arte Mérida

Later in the day, Governor Díaz Mena laid the foundation stone for the second building of Distrito Arte Mérida, reinforcing his administration’s commitment to driving economic growth through private-sector collaboration.

This expansion represents an additional investment of 1.3 billion pesos (67 million USD) and is set to generate over 350 direct and indirect jobs. The project will feature:

• 10,000+ square meters of commercial space

• A 120-room hotel

• A privately funded, one-hectare public park

These additions will further strengthen Mérida’s tourism and service infrastructure, making the city even more attractive to residents, investors, and visitors alike.

Yucatán: A Thriving Hub for Investment

With these major projects underway, Yucatán continues to be a top choice for real estate investment, thanks to:
✅ Legal and economic stability
✅ Strong public-private collaboration
✅ Unparalleled security and quality of life

Governor Díaz Mena emphasized the role of federal support in ensuring the success of these developments, particularly through strategic infrastructure projects like the modernization of the Puerto de Altura de Progreso and the Umán-Progreso railway extension, which will further enhance Yucatán’s economic potential.

"Our goal is to make Yucatán a model for sustainable and well-planned development," he stated. "With the right investments and policies, we can create a thriving environment for businesses and families alike."
