AGEPRO Holds 111,000 Hectares of Territorial Reserve in Quintana Roo

Chetumal, Quintana Roo — The Quintana Roo state government currently administers 111,373 hectares of territorial reserve, land held by the state’s Strategic Projects Agency (AGEPRO) for use in infrastructure, housing, health and environmental conservation projects.

Carlos Flores, the agency’s director, said the land has been distributed primarily to the three levels of government during the current administration.

“I can tell you that in this fourth year of government, through the agency we have carried out land allocation actions, above all for the three levels of government — federal, state and, of course, municipal — where we have focused on developments,” Flores said.

The largest concentration of these properties lies in Othón P. Blanco, where the reserve exceeds 62,500 hectares. Cozumel follows with more than 20,900 hectares, most of it designated for environmental purposes.

Land Holdings Across the State

The inventory also includes more than 8,600 hectares on Isla Mujeres, roughly 6,600 hectares in Bacalar and more than 6,000 hectares in Benito Juárez. Other municipalities hold smaller areas that form part of the state’s territorial assets for specific projects.

• Playa del Carmen: more than 2,000 hectares
• Puerto Morelos: approximately 1,780 hectares
• Felipe Carrillo Puerto: more than 1,200 hectares
• Tulum, Lázaro Cárdenas and José María Morelos: reserved parcels for local needs

The territorial inventory has also grown during the current fourth year of government. Officials added more than 104 hectares acquired in Benito Juárez and another 20 hectares in Bacalar, expanding the surface available under state administration.

The distribution reflects differing needs among the municipalities. The south, particularly Othón P. Blanco, accounts for the largest share of land, while tourist destinations such as Benito Juárez, Isla Mujeres and Cozumel hold parcels suited to infrastructure, equipment and conservation.

AGEPRO keeps these properties under state administration as strategic assets for the state’s growth, aiming to preserve public ownership and make them available for projects that require land already identified and legally regularized.
