HOUSE IN DOWNTOWN CANCUN SM18

Nestled in an intimate townhouse complex, this property is a happy pairing of the visions put forth by urban planners; and those who built the first condominium projects in Cancun, respectively.

Facing southeast, the house dodges direct sunlight on any of its facades,  and is shaded by the generous canopies of the palm trees that adorn the communal garden. Since its completion at the dawn of the 21st century, it has been a welcoming, safe home for families who have put its three bedrooms and comfortable dimensions to good use.

Located in a close-knit community of just 16 units, the complex where this property is located reflects the developer’s aspiration to replicate the peaceful essence of a lakeside village transplanted to the Caribbean. The care with which the amenities (the verdant garden and inviting pool) have been kept makes this vision much easier to believe and experience.

The complex is located in the intimate Foundational Zone (Zona Fundacional), an increasingly revitalized quadrant of Cancún, known for the criss-crossing parks and pedestrian walkways envisioned by the brothers Enrique and Agustín Landa in the late 1960s.

Seizing the opportunity to implement an alternative to the historically common “checkerboard” arrangement, the so-called Foundational Zone was the first phase of the urban plan created by these two Mexico City architects for the growing Cancun.

Designed for those who would become Cancún’s permanent residents, a layout was created that would balance the vitality of businesses facing the main avenues; with the preserved tranquility of the residential lots located on the interior sideroad lanes.
