Mixed-Use Real Estate Developments in Cancún Grow by 50%

Cancún, Quintana Roo — Mixed-use real estate developments in Cancún have increased by 50% over the past three years, driven by growing demand for projects that combine residential, commercial and service components.

Karen Ramos, former president of the Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals (AMPI), said this boom in commercial and residential zones reflects strong investor confidence in the destination. The real estate sector continues to view Cancún as a strategic pillar for growth.

Ramos noted that these “micro-cities” offering housing, amenities, retail and services are gaining ground not only in Cancún but also in other Mexican cities like Monterrey and Guadalajara. They provide more than just housing units — they offer a complete lifestyle experience.

The concept’s popularity is evident in sales figures, with these types of units selling quickly. Last year saw a 12% increase in sales, indicating a clear trend toward this type of development, which Ramos said is also environmentally harmonious.

Key Growth Areas

The areas showing the most growth for mixed-use developments include Huayacán Avenue, Luis Donaldo Colosio Avenue and Bonampak Avenue, where projects have increased exponentially by 50% over three years.

This dynamic has generated significant investor interest, moving beyond just building shopping malls to creating unified concepts that include housing. These developments offer options for those seeking a proximity-based lifestyle with easy access to services and consumption centers.
