Playa del Carmen to Regularize First Settlements, Boosting Investor Confidence

Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — The president of the Riviera Maya Business Coordinating Council (CCE), José Ramón Cárdenas González, said concrete actions to regularize informal settlements have long been needed, welcoming the first steps to legalize the Alfa y Omega and San Judas Tadeo neighborhoods.

These neighborhoods, located on the ejidal strip along Juarez Avenue, will be the first properties regularized by the municipal government through its Housing and Regularization Department, as previously announced by department head Alberto Farfán Bravo.

“This will allow us to allocate resources and equip the area with public infrastructure,” Cárdenas González said.

Approximately 1,000 lots will be regularized initially, out of an estimated 4,000 in the area known as In House, San Judas, Las Torres, and El Sauce in Puerto Aventuras.

Cárdenas González added that authorities must continue this work to prevent new illegal settlements, noting that invading private property remains an illicit act.

He affirmed that these regularization efforts provide legal certainty and motivate more investors to launch new projects.
