Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — The municipal government has closed about four buildings so far in 2026 for exceeding permitted height limits, according to the city’s Territorial Planning Secretary, Hernán González De los Santos.
González made the announcement while discussing the ongoing case of the Nativo Sunset condominium building in the Zazil Ha neighborhood. Residents there obtained a federal injunction to stop construction of the seven-story building, which exceeds the six-story limit set by the current Urban Development Program.
The building, located on Calle 44 Norte between Avenidas 10 and 15, is being developed by Fortem Group and includes 23 residential units. The Ninth District Court ordered the suspension, which the city council complied with, but the case has since expanded to involve other public and private agencies that provided services to the property.
González said he was not familiar with the details of the Nativo Sunset case but would review it and contact the owners to invite them to meet with his office.
Construction remains halted, although about 60% of the units have already been sold.
