Cancun, Q.R. — Two more real estate projects found developing without the necessary permits have been shut down in Cancun. On Thursday, city officials closed the Tolteca and Azteca private developments after they were found selling the lots illegally.
According to a statement from Cancun Mayor Ana Paty Peralta, both developments are located in Superblock 106 and were closed since they did not comply with Urban Development regulations.
The Mayor stated that the sale of the residential lots was discovered on a Facebook social media page. During an on-site visit, authorities confirmed that the developer was selling residential lots without the corresponding permits.
Paty Peralta explained that without authorization, the developments will lack the necessary infrastructure and services to guarantee adequate living conditions for families.
“We will not allow developments to continue without infrastructure, drainage, drinking water, paving, and street lighting. Everything must be done according to the rules and regulations established by the municipality of Benito Juárez,” she stated.
“We know the effort that Cancun families make to buy a lot or a home, but what we cannot allow is the sale of these types of properties without any services.
“Therefore, through the Secretariat of Ecology and Urban Development, in a joint operation with the Secretary General of the City Council, Pablo Gutiérrez, and with personnel from the State Government, we will be supervising and monitoring each of the advertisements published on social media offering properties without services,” Paty Peralta explained.
Developments such as these are built in areas that are not legally part of the municipality and therefore, cannot offer legal land titles or even basic services.
Gutiérrez Fernández confirmed that the corresponding administrative procedure was carried out through coordinated work with the State Government with the objective of preventing the continued development of irregular projects.
