MAIA, Playa del Carmen
A 7-level pre-sale tower on Quinta Avenida, mid-construction with 18 months of dated photographs to prove it, not a finished building and not the render on the cover.
MAIA is a 7-level condominium tower plus penthouse level and roof garden, under construction on Quinta Avenida Norte at Calle 104, in colonia Luis Donaldo Colosio, Playa del Carmen, in the municipality of Solidaridad, Quintana Roo. It is developed by Grupo Desarrollador Arteza, S.A. de C.V., building on land owned by a private landowner under a commercial exploitation agreement. This is preventa (pre-sale, sold before the building exists): excavation began in May 2025, the roof slab was poured in March 2026, and the most recent dated construction photographs, from 7-Aug-2026, show the elevator and stair shaft being poured. No document in the shared folder promises a delivery date.

It fits you if
You’re comfortable buying preventa, against dated monthly construction photos rather than a finished, walk-through-ready unit today: the developer’s own folder documents progress every month from February 2025 to the elevator-shaft pour of 7-Aug-2026.
Your budget sits toward the entry of the range, USD ~104,000–267,000 (the Studios, One Beds and Suites), where 20 of MAIA’s 22 currently available units are priced, rather than the USD 507,000–634,000 Penthouses, both already sold.
You want a preventa a plazos (pre-sale instalment) schedule, spreading payment across construction through a reservación, enganche (down payment) and pagos durante la obra, which is the payment shape the developer’s own offer-letter template is built around.
You’re fine moving forward on a rich but imperfect document set, extensive legal, finishes and construction-progress files, and no HOA figure, no signed contract template, and a permit question worth raising first. Everything found is counted below, with nothing padded.
It doesn't if
You want a permit file with nothing to explain. This one has two things: DU/25-0872 lapsed 15 days before this page was written with no renewal in the Drive, and the licence records that the building exceeds the permitted envelope, with sanctions assessed and paid. Neither is unusual here. Both need an answer before a deposit.
You’re buying a Suite (a "104s"-style unit) specifically to rent it separately from its paired one-bedroom. Neither the construction license nor the water utility’s own paperwork counts those 6 Suites as independent departments, only 64 of the 70 marketed residences are.
You’re counting on Lock-Off rental income to cover a maintenance fee: no HOA or cuota de mantenimiento document exists anywhere in this Drive, so there is nothing yet to size that income against.
You want bank financing at delivery without qualification. A mortgage here waits on a régimen de condominio (condominium regime) that doesn’t exist yet on a building still being poured, see Price & financing below.
The quiet, unfinished end of the Quinta.
MAIA sits on the far-north stretch of Quinta Avenida, inside colonia Luis Donaldo Colosio, itself part of the city of Playa del Carmen, in the municipality of Solidaridad. This end of the Quinta is explicitly described in FEUDO’s own zone research as the quietest, most residential run of the avenue: more cafés than bars, a Sunday market, and Playa Punta Esmeralda a few blocks further north, a free public beach with a freshwater cenote favored by local Mexican families rather than tourists. It is a neighbourhood in transition: a historic base of Mexican working- and middle-class families, alongside a fast-growing wave of new construction and an expat population that mostly rents rather than buys.
Two things the zone asks in return. Some streets have poor night lighting and the area carries more petty theft than central Playa, though nothing documented as violent crime against foreigners. And it faces the open Caribbean directly: hurricane risk is rated high for this whole stretch of coast (Wilma and Emily both struck the Solidaridad shoreline in 2005), sargassum is expected in season (a marine barrier is being extended to cover exactly this stretch), and flat topography means rain can pool in pockets during hurricane season. As on all of Mexico’s restricted coastal zone, a foreign buyer here who isn’t a permanent resident holds title through a fideicomiso (a bank trust required by federal law within 50 km of the coast), not directly.
Source: FEUDO zone research, Zona Esmeralda dossier (compiled June 2026), drawing on long-tenured expat guides, CENAPRED and municipal risk filings. It describes the corridor, not this building.
The Lock-Off pitch assumes something the paperwork doesn’t confirm.
MAIA’s own factsheet sells its "Lock Off" system as the reason to buy a one-bedroom over a studio: "enjoy your private space while increasing your income renting other sections of your apartment." Read plainly, that’s a promise that the attached Suite unit, the small 22 m² / 237 sq ft space marketed and priced (six of them, USD ~104,000 each) as its own line item, works as its own rentable, and eventually sellable, piece of property.
Nothing in the developer’s own paperwork confirms that. The construction license authorizes "44 deptos, 20 estudios y 2 locales", 64 residential departments. Solidaridad’s water utility, in an entirely separate document filed a year earlier, independently describes the same project as "conformado por 64 departamentos." Both land on the identical number, and it is not the number the sales floor plans use: they price 70 residences, the 64 above plus the 6 Suites. That is not a rounding difference, it is exactly the six lock-off units, unaccounted for in either government filing.
That doesn’t mean the Suites can’t eventually be titled separately, régimen de condominio filings often get finalized late in a build, closer to delivery than to a license application. But it does mean the investment thesis behind the Lock-Off system, that half of a unit can be rented and eventually resold independently of the other half, is currently resting on a floor plan and a factsheet, not on the same paperwork that got the building permitted to exist. A buyer choosing a Suite specifically for that flexibility is buying ahead of the document that would actually confirm it.

Four questions to settle before you sign.
Each one comes straight out of the developer’s own documents, or out of cross-checking them against the city’s. Open any for what they say, why it moves the decision, and how it gets settled.
Question 1 of 5
The licence says the building exceeds the zoning, and the municipality licensed it anyway.
Common practice on this coast, and worth reading rather than worrying about: the extra density was assessed, paid for, and written down.
Read the reasoning +Close −
Licence DU/25-0872 is not a clean approval. Under Antecedentes/Observaciones the municipality prohibits any further expansion "por excederse a la densidad permitida, por excederse en el coeficiente de ocupación del suelo, por excederse en el coeficiente de utilización del suelo, por no cumplir con el área jardinada y no cumplir con las restricciones de edificación en la zona… así como no cumplir con el número de cajones de estacionamiento." Its closing line goes further: "LA PRESENTE LICENCIA QUEDA CONDICIONADA A QUE A LA PRIMERA QUEJA DE VECINOS QUE SE PRESENTE O CAMBIO AL PROYECTO AUTORIZADO SERÁ ACREEDOR A LA CLAUSURA DE LA OBRA Y CANCELACIÓN DE LA LICENCIA Y/O DEMOLICIÓN DE LA MISMA SEGÚN SEA EL CASO, DEBIDO A QUE SU PROYECTO EXCEDE LA NORMATIVA VIGENTE." The same sheet books Total derechos of $459,019 against Total sanciones of $3,041,040: the penalties are six and a half times the fees.
Why it moves the decision
Say the ordinary part first, because it is the true part: building past the permitted envelope and paying the difference is standard practice along this coast. Where zoning allows four levels, a fifth or a sixth routinely gets built and assessed a penalty, and that is what the sanctions line records. This is not a project caught doing something; it is a project that went through the process, and the process left a receipt. Most developers never hand a buyer that receipt, and MAIA does, inside its own shared folder. What is worth reading rather than worrying about is the closing condition: the licence reserves the municipality the right to act on a neighbour complaint or a change to the approved plans. In practice that language sits on many permits in Solidaridad and rarely moves. It is still the one thing in this file an owner would not control, so it belongs in the open rather than in the fine print.
How it gets settled
Ask what the $3,041,040 in sanctions covered and whether it settled the matter, and whether any neighbour complaint has been filed since August 2025. Then have a Quintana Roo real-estate lawyer read the licence before signing, which is worth doing on any pre-sale here and not only on this one. The licence is public municipal record, so none of it depends on the developer answering.

Question 2 of 5
Construction is visibly active. Is the permit that allows it still valid?
No, as of today. The construction license on file expired 15 days ago, with no renewal in the folder.
Read the reasoning +Close −
Licencia de construcción (construction license) No. DU/25-0872 was authorized 11-Aug-2025 for "Obra Nueva," with a stated vigencia of 12 months, expiring 11-Aug-2026. This page is being written on 26-Aug-2026, fifteen days after that date. The developer’s own construction-progress folders show dated work continuing past the license window, most recently the elevator-and-stair shaft pour on 7-Aug-2026, four days before expiry, but no renewed or extended permit is anywhere in the shared folder.
Why it moves the decision
A construction license is not paperwork attached to the sale after the fact, it is the instrument that makes the ongoing build lawful in the first place. A short administrative gap while a renewal is filed is common and usually resolves itself, but a buyer paying into a construction schedule is entitled to know the builder is not, even briefly, working without one on file.
How it gets settled
Ask the developer directly for the renewed or extended DU permit, or written confirmation from Playa del Carmen’s Dirección de Desarrollo Urbano y Fisonomía that a renewal is in process. This is also checkable independently: construction licenses in Playa del Carmen are public municipal record.

Question 3 of 5
The inventory prices 70 residences. How many did the city license?
64 departments, per two separate official filings, not 70.
Read the reasoning +Close −
The construction license itself describes the project as "44 DEPTOS, 20 ESTUDIOS Y 2 LOCALES", 64 residential units plus 2 ground-floor commercial spaces. Independently, Solidaridad’s water utility (CAPA) wrote on 9-Oct-2025 that its feasibility opinion covers "el proyecto habitacional denominado MAIA, conformado por 64 departamentos." The sales inventory (MAIA D Inventario-Inventory.pdf, 23-Aug-2026) prices 70 residences: those same 64, plus 6 "Suite" units (104s, 210s, 310s, 410s, 510s, 610s) sold as the lock-off half of an adjoining one-bedroom unit on floors 1 through 6.
Why it moves the decision
MAIA’s own factsheet sells its "Lock Off" layout as an income feature: renting one section of the apartment while living in the other, which implies each half can eventually be titled and rented on its own. If the municipality’s own paperwork counts those six Suites as part of their paired unit rather than as independent departments, that changes what a buyer of a Suite specifically for its rental flexibility can actually register at the notary.
How it gets settled
Before buying a Suite (any unit ending in "s") for its lock-off flexibility, ask in writing whether it will carry its own separate escritura (the notarized public deed that transfers title) and cuenta predial (property-tax account), or whether it stays legally bound to its paired unit. The régimen de condominio, once registered, is the document that settles this, and it is a public-records question, not only a developer one.
Source: LICENCIA DE CONSTRUCCION MAIA.pdf (DU/25-0872); CAPA-DPC/DT/0872/2025, 9-oct-2025; MAIA D Inventario-Inventory.pdf, 23-ago-2026.
Question 4 of 5
Whose land is this actually built on?
Not the developer’s, on paper. A private landowner, with Arteza building under a commercial exploitation agreement.
Read the reasoning +Close −
The construction license names two different parties on the same document: "Propietario: Gongora Escalante Ricardo Jose" and "Posesionario: Grupo Desarrollo Arteza S.A. de C.V." The shared Legal folder holds a "Contrato Mercantil de Explotación" (a commercial exploitation contract, 82 MB, scanned with no machine-readable text, not read in full here) plus separate cesión de derechos (private rights-assignment) contracts for 2 of the project’s 3 lots.
Why it moves the decision
A joint-venture structure between a landowner and a builder, which is likely what the "Arteza JV" name itself refers to, is a normal and legal way to develop in Mexico. It is not a red flag by itself. It does mean a buyer’s eventual title runs through two parties and two contracts rather than one deed from one owner, and it is worth knowing that before, not after, signing.
How it gets settled
Ask a notary to read the chain of title on all 3 lots (003, 004, 005): whether they are fully assigned for the purpose of delivering titled units, and what happens to a buyer’s contract if the exploitation agreement between the landowner and Arteza were to end before delivery.
Source: LICENCIA DE CONSTRUCCION MAIA.pdf; CONTRATO PRIVADO DE CESIÓN DE DERECHOS LOTE 004 y LOTE 005; CONTRATO MERCANTIL DE EXPLOTACION.pdf (existence confirmed, contents not fully reviewed).
Question 5 of 5
Can the building actually connect to city water and drainage?
Feasibility was granted, but the 90-day window to advance it lapsed in January 2026, and the letter itself says feasibility is not the same as authorization to connect.
Read the reasoning +Close −
CAPA (the water and sewer utility for the municipality of Solidaridad) issued a factibilidad (feasibility opinion) on 9-Oct-2025, valid 90 calendar days from that date, roughly to 7-Jan-2026, to obtain the next-stage project approval. The letter states plainly that this factibilidad "no le autoriza la interconexión" (does not authorize the connection itself) until the project is approved and the Aportación de Obras de Cabecera (headworks infrastructure fee) is paid.
Why it moves the decision
None of this suggests a problem on its own; getting utility feasibility this early is normal and even reassuring. But the folder holds no later document confirming that next-stage approval or fee payment, so it can’t be confirmed from this Drive alone whether that step has since closed.
How it gets settled
Ask for the specific follow-up document CAPA’s own letter describes: proof the project approval was completed and the connection fee paid, which supersedes this 90-day window.

You can settle this without them
- The construction license’s current status: Playa del Carmen’s Dirección de Desarrollo Urbano y Fisonomía keeps DU permits as public municipal record.
- The chain of title on lots 003, 004 and 005: a public-records search at the Registro Público de la Propiedad of Quintana Roo, run in the buyer’s own name.
- What comparable inventory in the same corridor is actually asking: public listing portals for Quinta Avenida Norte, colonia Colosio.
Only they can answer this
- The interest rate and specific restrictions behind the 12/24/36-month in-house financing, both left blank in the developer’s own financing sheet.
- Whether a Suite (a "104s"-style unit) will be issued its own separate escritura (notarised public deed) and predial (property tax) account, or stays bound to its paired one-bedroom unit.
- Confirmation that the CAPA connection fee has been paid and the next-stage project approval obtained, since the 90-day feasibility window has lapsed.
Everything they shared, counted.
18 folders, more documents than any of the other pre-sale projects FEUDO has reviewed so far, mostly because a pre-sale build generates a monthly paper trail a finished building does not. Broker-only paperwork and brand assets are not counted below.

Purchase contract
Only a blank offer-letter (Carta Oferta) template between buyer and seller. No signed purchase-contract model for a unit in the shared folder.
3 smaller gaps, worth knowingopen +close −
No HOA or cuota de mantenimiento (maintenance fee) document exists anywhere in the shared folder, unlike price, legal and finishes, which are all documented in depth. That matters specifically for the Lock-Off units: the whole pitch is rental income offsetting ownership cost, and there is nothing yet to compare that income against.
A property-tax (predial) receipt in the folder lists lots "004, 005 y 006," while the construction license and both uso de suelo (land use) constancias (official certificates) cover lots "003, 004 y 005." One lot doesn’t match between the two: 003 appears in the license but not the tax receipt, 006 appears in the tax receipt but not the license. This could be an adjacent access or parking parcel and not an error, but it isn’t resolved by the documents alone.
The Ubicación folder includes a video titled "a tan solo 8 min caminando" (just 8 minutes walking), presumably to the beach. Our own routed distance to the nearest public beach access, Playa 88, comes out to roughly 3 km by road. The two aren’t necessarily in conflict, an informal walking path along the coast could easily beat the street network in a way OSRM doesn’t see, but this page did not watch the video to confirm what the 8 minutes refers to.

Where these figures come from +Close −
MXN 1,766,000–10,750,000 comes directly from "MAIA D Inventario-Inventory.pdf," the developer’s own status-coded inventory, created 23-Aug-2026. It is not a public or third-party estimate, so C14’s attribution question doesn’t apply the way it would to a broker-sourced range; it is the developer’s own price list, in the currency it is actually fixed in. The floor (a 22 m² Suite) and the ceiling (a Penthouse, already sold) are published together on purpose: a building running six times from top to bottom is not accurately described by either number alone. USD figures throughout this page use a single rate, Banxico’s FIX at 16.9647 pesos per dollar, published 25-Aug-2026, stated here as our own conversion for reference, not a rate MAIA itself quotes.
Reading the same inventory by status, as of 23-Aug-2026: of 72 priced spaces (70 residences plus 2 ground-floor commercial locales), 22 are Disponible (available), 8 are Reservado (reserved), and 42 are Vendido (sold), including both commercial spaces. That is a building already about 58% sold while still under construction, on a permit that, per the diligence section above, is itself currently lapsed.
No document states a delivery date. What the documents do say: excavation photographs are dated May 2025, the roof slab was poured by March 2026, and the most recent construction photographs on file, 7-Aug-2026, show the elevator and stair shaft being formed, ordinarily one of the later structural stages before finishes begin. That is consistent with a building still meaningfully short of completion, not a date the developer put in writing.
A bank mortgage requires a constituted condominium regime and a complete legal file, neither of which exists on a building still being poured. That leaves cash, pre-sale instalments through the developer’s own offer-letter schedule, and the developer’s own in-house financing (rate undisclosed) as the modalities actually open right now. How financing works here is a separate page; this is only what is specific to this project.
No HOA or cuota de mantenimiento figure exists anywhere in the shared folder. On a 70-residence tower with an elevator, roof pools and a rental-focused Lock-Off system, that is a real number a buyer will need before comparing this against anything else, and it is not yet published.
Where this sits in what the zone actually moves.
Not a valuation and not a comparables table. Where MAIA’s asking price stands against other Playa del Carmen projects, and whether buyers are actually asking in that band.

Ninth of seventeen, close to the middle of the field. The more telling comparison is Inuk, the one other project FEUDO tracks specifically inside Zona Esmeralda: MAIA asks about 67% more per square meter than the one project actually sharing its corridor.
Buyer requests in Playa del Carmen, by price band
May–June against July–August 2026. The three bands MAIA’s available inventory actually touches.
USD <150k
MAIA’s Suite units, USD ~104k
USD 150–250k
most of MAIA’s available Studios & 1-Beds
USD 250–400k
MAIA’s 2-Bedroom units, USD ~265–321k
The band holding MAIA’s Suites (under USD 150k) more than doubled between the two windows. The band holding most of its Studios and One Beds (USD 150–250k) is essentially flat, the largest single pool of demand in the city, but not a growing one right now.

How this one can be paid for
Five ways a property changes hands in Mexico. Which of them are actually open on this project, and what gates the ones that are not. How each one works is a separate page.
- CashOpen
Open on any unit still marked Disponible in the 23-Aug-2026 inventory. It is also the modality least exposed to the two gaps below: a bank will not lend against an unfinished building whose condominium regime does not yet exist, and cash sidesteps that question entirely.
- Bank mortgageConditional
Structurally difficult before delivery: a bank normally requires a constituted régimen de condominio (condominium regime, the legal instrument that divides a building into individually titled units) and a complete legal file, neither of which exists yet on a building still being poured. Revisit this once the building tops out and the regime is registered, not before.
- Pre-construction instalmentsOpen
This is the modality MAIA is actually built around. The blank offer-letter template in the shared folder has fields for reservación (reservation deposit), enganche (down payment), pagos durante la obra (payments during construction) and entrega (delivery), the classic pre-sale schedule, and the reservation deposit is stated as refundable, without penalty, if a purchase agreement is not signed within 15 business days.
- Developer financingConditional
Explicitly offered: a dedicated "Financiamiento Interno" document from Grupo Desarrollador Arteza SA de CV names terms of 12, 24 or 36 months. It does not name a rate ("consulta la tasa de interés") or the restrictions it mentions applying ("aplica restricciones"). Ask for both figures in writing before treating this as a real alternative to a bank, since here the developer is the lender and the terms are theirs to set.
- Infonavit / co-financingNot available here
Depends on formal contribution history inside the Mexican system, so it does not exist for a foreign buyer. Worth one check if you are Mexican and worked in Mexico at any point: a housing sub-account can sit unnoticed for years.
Each verdict below comes from the project's delivery state and from what the developer's own folder contains, judged against the five ways property is paid for in Mexico. They are not quotes, and no rate appears here: in bank credit the rate is set by the bank and in developer financing by the developer, so it is a fact about your counterparty, not about the market.
🔴 The developer’s own factsheet names the corridor correctly: Quinta Avenida & Calle 104 Norte, Playa del Carmen. Some listings for this project name Tulum instead; the documents in this Drive, the construction license, the water-utility letter, the factsheet and the pin below, agree with each other and place it in Playa del Carmen, not Tulum. The pin was fixed from the GPS tag embedded in the developer’s own dated construction photograph, not typed in from an address.

Worth being precise about what sits inside what: this is one building on Quinta Avenida Norte, in colonia Luis Donaldo Colosio, which is a neighbourhood inside the city of Playa del Carmen, which is itself the seat of the municipality of Solidaridad, some municipal paperwork in this Drive uses "Playa del Carmen" and some uses "Solidaridad" for the same government. Quintana Roo is the state. "Playa del Carmen" on its own describes a city far larger than this corridor, let alone this building, and Tulum, sometimes named for this project in error, is a different municipality entirely, roughly 60 km south.
