In Rocky Point: The Next Step Ahead

By Almer Elzink

The last couple of months have led to significant evolution in the future outlook of the integrally planned Sandy Beach Resorts project. With two strong joint-ventures, each bringing distinctively new services and attractions to the area, the SBR Group has taken yet another determined step in its ongoing progressive development.

Expected implications for the current and future owners of the master-planned community are far reaching and for some, still beyond comprehension. Inhabitants and visitors to the town of Puerto Peñasco will see such an increase in welfare and lifestyle options as the area effectively positions itself as the leading all-around tourism destination of all northwestern Mexico.

Acropolis: Mediterranean Village At Sandy Beach    

One of the most recognized condominium resort and commercial development companies of the Mexican Caribbean is the name behind the already initiated and highly anticipated Acropolis – Mediterranean Village at Sandy Beach. Extending its vision of developing luxury and boutique resorts on some of the most beautiful stretches of beach at Playa del Carmen, Gamir Developments will carry on its philosophy of creating magical atmospheres for their customers at this new project.

Two separate condo towers, located in the ocean view path between the towers of the Las Palmas resort, will be constructed on a natural elevation, guaranteeing ocean views from the second story and up. The combination with a complete shopping village of approximately 120 retail spaces of all types and many residential lofts overlooking the hustle and bustle, make this project unique.

In addition to the numerable world-class condo features and amenities — such as a sky-bar lounge, 24-hour security, and valet parking — owners have the choice to participate in the national and international holiday-exchange program. Because the residencies are run like a “condo-hotel,” where you can lease the time you are not there, full advantage can be taken of your investment.

International award-winning architects design sophisticated landscaping with water fonts, walking streets, and terraces within the community — reminiscent of Greece. With its many services such as banks, signature fashion boutiques, fine family restaurants, bars, a disco club and movie theaters, plus a beach club that enjoys direct access to the Sea of Cortez, Acropolis is a welcome addition to Sandy Beach.

The diversified entrepreneur group, with Hernan Garza Diaz as founder and president, has developed very successful communities in the Riviera Maya, such as Pueblito Escondido, and Aldea Thai, and in Acapulco with the luxurious Tuscan Hill & Beach projects.

Gamir Developments is also one of the biggest supporters for the Soñar Despierto charity foundation in the Riviera Maya and will be initiating foundation operations for social development in Puerto Peñasco as well.

Grupo Questro

As one of the most strategic development groups of Mexico, Grupo Questro has been largely responsible for the revolutionary transformation of Los Cabos into what is now known as one of the world’s top-class tourist destination.

Masterminding the creation of large-scale communities, offering many award winning vacation ownership resorts, multiple “signature” championship golf courses, distinguished amenities ranging from beach clubs to shopping centers and from vacation clubs to golf societies, Grupo Questro has earned the international reputation and prestige of being among the finest hospitality providers and most successful real-estate developers.

Because the Sandy Beach Resorts group and Grupo Questro share many common goals, a mutual agreement was made and announced at a recent Baja California Meeting Point investment summit held in Tijuana.  

The joint venture includes the development of two internationally branded oceanfront hotels, each of 300 rooms and being built on the property next to the Esmeralda Resort.

Furthermore, the development includes 900 beachfront condominiums — with both full and fractional ownership — an 18-hole signature championship golf course with pro shop, a private country club (with spa, gym, swimming pools and tennis courts), a private beach club, commercial areas, golf villas, and golf condos.

The initial total investment is approximately $ 1.2 billion USD.

Sandy Beach Resorts is proud to team up with Gamir Developments and Grupo Questro, both highly respectable and experienced development visionaries, in taking the next step in pioneering integrally planned development in Puerto Peñasco.

With other innovative Sandy Beach Resorts´ projects in their final planning phase, governmental investment (a convention center with capacity for 2,500 persons), and other development taking place, the near-future looks extremely bright.
