APARTMENT IN SM 15 IN CANCUN

Understanding the value of this cozy two bedroom apartment requires an understanding of the context in which it came to be – along with the building and neighborhood that contain it.

The 90’s could be considered the final development stage of the urban plan put forth by the brothers Enrique and Agustín Landa two decades prior, as part of the larger urban/touristic project spearheaded by Mexico’s National Tourism Fund (FONATUR) on the Maya territory known as Cancún.

In what is today known as Cancun’s “Foundational Zone” these two Mexico City architects envisioned a layout that balanced the buoyant vitality of businesses facing the main avenues; and the cherished tranquility of residential streets.

Among the neighborhoods that emerged from this bold new plan, Supermanzana 15 stood out as the epitome of the Landa brothers’ vision. The parks and corridors that connect the web of streets shaded by lush tree canopies have made this area a favorite among locals and visitors who cherish it as an easy-going, cosmopolitan pocket of tropical bohemia.

Alhambra II – the apartment complex where this cozy apartment is located – was built in “la quince” by Mexico City-based engineer Raul Pawa towards the end of the 1980s. A cozy community of 24 units, it is a faithfully representative microcosm of this offbeat nook of town, with an intimate, almost meditative vibe that welcomes people of all walks of life.

One notices this almost as soon as one enters: The main access leaves the choice of going upstairs to the unit; or heading straight to a common area dotted with lush local vegetation and tall trees that envelop a pool with a social “kiosk” area. The perfect spot for that morning splash or for long sundown chats.

Once the amenities have been enjoyed, it’s time to enjoy home: a wisely distributed apartment with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an open concept kitchen and a spacious living-dining room. It’s hard to understate how this unit’s versatility makes it perfect for so much: a safe cozy home for a young family; a centrally located gathering point for friends; an oasis of peace and rest after a working day… In some cases, it will be home away from home.

A short stroll away from the main gates leads to an ample selection of boutique restaurants, cafés, bistros, with doors open to visitors and residents of this fetching Cancun neighborhood.
