This is the first construction update for The Landmark, the stunning community located in one of the most desirable areas of downtown Playa del Carmen.
Great news—The Landmark is progressing on schedule. Demolition of the existing hotel began on January 26, clearing the way for construction to begin. See the progress for yourself in the video below.
The demolition crew is clearing the site at The Landmark in preparation for construction.
First deliveries remain on track for Summer 2028.
I’ll be sending you regular updates throughout construction, keeping you informed with the latest from The Landmark and the Riviera Maya.
With work now in progress, it’s worth remembering why The Landmark is such a special deal.
A developer’s render of the rooftop Caribbean-view infinity pool in The Landmark. Renders shouldn’t be considered final but give you a great idea of what to expect.
The Riviera Maya is experiencing one of the world’s greatest development booms. Billions of dollars are pouring into this coast for new infrastructure, resorts, world-class amenities, and urban upgrades.
Beyond all this development, the coast is also rapidly transforming into a high-end destination. Playa del Carmen, in particular, is at a tipping point.
You’ll own right at the heart of this booming city…in a location and community that is basically unrepeatable.
This stunning Caribbean beach is just a short stroll from the site of The Landmark.
The location of The Landmark is perfect. You’re just one block from 5th Avenue and a short walk to the beach—right in the heart of all the restaurants, nightlife, and shopping. But when you’re ready for some peace and quiet, you will be able to come home to your own private space above it all.
Then there’s The Sky Club—a full half-acre of rooftop space that no other building in central Playa can match. You’ll have an infinity pool with Caribbean views, a private restaurant and bar, sauna, steam room, yoga areas, gardens, co-working spaces, and a full spa—all exclusively for residents and their guests.
From The Sky Club at The Landmark you’ll have uninterrupted views to the Caribbean and a half-acre of rooftop amenities.
And you got in at unbeatable RETA-only pricing.
Here’s what’s happened since you bought:
In March 2025, RETA members reserved stunning two-bed condos from just $318,400.
By January 2026, the developer’s latest pricing shows significant uplifts of 22% to 24%.
For example, the same two-bed condos available to RETA members for $318,400 were recently listed by the developer at $391,238—an uplift of $72,838.
What you secured will only become more valuable and more desirable over time. Congratulations on getting in on this incredible deal.
The beach is a daily routine for the citizens of Playa. You can stroll, swim or relax in a beach club…
You were also able to get positioned in Playa del Carmen at an exciting time. The city is growing fast and maturing into a truly upscale destination—and you can see it happening in real time.
Sleek new luxury communities are popping up across the city. 5th Avenue is lined with high-end boutiques, rooftop cocktail lounges, and world-class restaurants. Playa now has two Michelin-starred restaurants—HA’ Restaurant recently joined Cocina de Autor.
One of the clearest signs of Playa’s evolution? Branded residences. When global luxury brands invest at this level, it shows a destination is moving upmarket for good.
The Ritz-Carlton opens in 2026 with 127 residences starting at $1.84 million. On the beachfront, the famous Mamitas beach club is being replaced by Zonna, where one-bedrooms start around $500,000 and penthouses go from $1.22 million. The Riviera Maya now ranks fourth in the Americas for branded residences—behind only South Florida, New York, and São Paulo.
Playa is a chic, cosmopolitan city, with trendy cafés, Michelin-level restaurants, and upmarket bars.
International access is expanding. Cancún International Airport is adding 17 new routes in 2026, connecting Playa to cities across the U.S., Canada, and Dublin.
Playa is now one of Mexico’s fastest-growing cities. The population jumped from just over 300,000 in 2020 to around 369,000 in 2024—that’s nearly 21% in four years. Officials believe it could surpass Cancún in both size and popularity soon.
As Playa expands, your location becomes even more premium. You’re right by 5th Avenue—the heart of everything. New developments are pushing further out, but you’re anchored in the center where the action will always be.
