PUERTO CANCÚN INITIATES PRELIMINARY CONSTRUCTION

• Puerto Cancun is a reality!
• Puerto Cancun will diversify Cancun’s tourism offer with the first full-scale marina and professional golf course.

Cancun Q. Roo, August 2004. One of the most awaited projects in Cancun, Puerto Cancun, initiated preliminary construction today. This project represents an investment of more than one billion dollars during the next ten years, according to its Master Plan.

The preliminary works include the realization of various land and water studies within the property, equipment mobilization, access routes and the introduction of basic services. In parallel, we will continue with our important fauna and flora rescue labour that we started three years ago to undergo a future reforestation effort in the property and the region.
The complete project construction will take approximately 10 years, however urbanization will be ready in four years. Just the basic infrastructure will have an investment of 127 million dollars. In the same way, Puerto Cancun will contribute with the regional development, creating 10 thousand direct jobs and 25 thousand indirect during the next 5 years.

“Puerto Cancun has a strategic importance because it will revitalize the most important tourist destination of Mexico. With a full-scale marina, we want to reach the more than 35 thousand yacht, mega yachts and sailboat owners who live on the US East Coast and along the Gulf of Mexico. Currently, this market prefers other Caribbean destinations because they do not find the necessary nautical infrastructure along the Mexican Caribbean.”

“On a different note, our group wishes to support the creation of a regional professional circuit of golf courses, a fast-growing market that will also attract a higher scale tourism that is always looking for new challenges”.

Puerto Cancun is a sustainable project that considers its pacific cohabitation with nature, for which it undergoes a strong rescue and reforestation effort. We have assigned 74 hectares for mangrove conservation, and since 1998, our nursery has grown to more than 90 thousand plants and 44 different species.

Puerto Cancun will be the most complete tourist development of the region, with five principal areas:

• Full-scale marina – World class marina services will be offered, including dry dockage and capacity to receive 330 yachts up to 230 feet high. A public yacht club will also be featured for both the local community and visitors.
• Public professional golf course – This 18-hole pga golf course designed by Tom Weiskopf promises to be a highlight among the upcoming golf circuit in the Cancun-Riviera Maya corridor. Equipped with its own Club House, professionals and amateurs alike will enjoy for the first time in Mexico a good golf game overlooking the Caribbean ocean.
• Residential Area – The development will offer residencies and apartments overlooking the ocean, the golf course and the water canals, some with their own private dock, and all of them with ample green areas and strict security.
• Hotel Zone – Will have the capacity to build up to 4,288 hotel rooms offering high-quality service in five-star facilities.
• Boardwalk and Commercial Zone – Open to all, these public areas will undoubtedly be a highlight for Cancun residents and tourists looking to enjoy a stroll in an attractive entertainment area.
