The Developments of Puerto Vallarta 2004
The Developments of Puerto Vallarta 2004
Every year, in the Summer/Fall edition of 'Vallarta Lifestyles,' we produce a special section on the real estate developments that are currently in development in and around Puerto Vallarta. Last year the section had 32 pages.
This year's special section totals 52 pages; which alone should tell you what the market is presently like.
Last fall, when I saw how many advertising pages in the Fall/Winter issue were real estate developments, I was concerned. There would have to be a record year for real estate sales to support this kind of supply or we were going to have a hard time collecting from some developers! Well, let's just say our collections department had no problem whatsoever with our real estate advertisers this past season. The demand for Vallarta real estate is being supplied by a number of projects, both large and small. And it seems that no matter what developers build, the market just continues to absorb it. Although growth still continues to be heading toward the north shore (and beyond), the south shore still continues to offer unique, niche market projects for those who just have to be close to town.
But there is no doubt about it: the market is heading north, and far north � outside the bay and upward to Guayabitos and Platonitos. Last year it was sufficient to just show a map of the bay, this year we had to increase it to include the whole shoreline of Costa Vallarta. Be sure to check out our new Web site for real estate developments in and around Vallarta at www.vallartarealestate.info.

El Pared
�nSouthShore
The four-acre site of El Pared�n is a work of art rendered in jungle vegetation and granite boulders. Although permitted by local authorities, high-density development would have eliminated most of the site�s natural beauty. Thus, this site will be developed for a few families who commit to preserving its beauty for future generations. To this end, the property was surveyed to establish the exact location of every major tree, boulder and environmentally significant plant species, so they can be creatively incorporated into each home and ensure the character of El Pared�n. An exclusive community is offered with the services to assure enjoyment and enduring value. Complete property management and hospitality services will be included with a highly trained management staff. It is the product of Elias Architects, known for their passion for superior design, enduring quality and the services required for headache-free ownership and vacation use. Elias Architects is a family company founded in Guadalajara over 30 years ago by brothers Ricardo and Roberto, and recently extended with the addition of son Alexis. The firm has extensive design experience and is totally dedicated to creating each home with a distinctive design, superior construction quality, state-of-the-art mechanical and communications systems and handcrafted construction details in both traditional and modern homes.

http://www.mlsvallarta.com/puerto-vallarta-real-estate/moreinformation/puerto-vallarta-real-estate-articles/the-developments-of-puert0-vallarta-2004.shtml
Every year, in the Summer/Fall edition of 'Vallarta Lifestyles,' we produce a special section on the real estate developments that are currently in development in and around Puerto Vallarta. Last year the section had 32 pages.
This year's special section totals 52 pages; which alone should tell you what the market is presently like.
Last fall, when I saw how many advertising pages in the Fall/Winter issue were real estate developments, I was concerned. There would have to be a record year for real estate sales to support this kind of supply or we were going to have a hard time collecting from some developers! Well, let's just say our collections department had no problem whatsoever with our real estate advertisers this past season. The demand for Vallarta real estate is being supplied by a number of projects, both large and small. And it seems that no matter what developers build, the market just continues to absorb it. Although growth still continues to be heading toward the north shore (and beyond), the south shore still continues to offer unique, niche market projects for those who just have to be close to town.
But there is no doubt about it: the market is heading north, and far north � outside the bay and upward to Guayabitos and Platonitos. Last year it was sufficient to just show a map of the bay, this year we had to increase it to include the whole shoreline of Costa Vallarta. Be sure to check out our new Web site for real estate developments in and around Vallarta at www.vallartarealestate.info.

El Pared
�nSouthShore
The four-acre site of El Pared�n is a work of art rendered in jungle vegetation and granite boulders. Although permitted by local authorities, high-density development would have eliminated most of the site�s natural beauty. Thus, this site will be developed for a few families who commit to preserving its beauty for future generations. To this end, the property was surveyed to establish the exact location of every major tree, boulder and environmentally significant plant species, so they can be creatively incorporated into each home and ensure the character of El Pared�n. An exclusive community is offered with the services to assure enjoyment and enduring value. Complete property management and hospitality services will be included with a highly trained management staff. It is the product of Elias Architects, known for their passion for superior design, enduring quality and the services required for headache-free ownership and vacation use. Elias Architects is a family company founded in Guadalajara over 30 years ago by brothers Ricardo and Roberto, and recently extended with the addition of son Alexis. The firm has extensive design experience and is totally dedicated to creating each home with a distinctive design, superior construction quality, state-of-the-art mechanical and communications systems and handcrafted construction details in both traditional and modern homes.

Selva Romántica
South Side
High on a hill overlooking the sea is Selva Rom�ntica. Within minutes, residents can be on Olas Altas street with its numerous coffee shops and restaurants, while a few more steps take them to Playa Los Muertos. While the building remains under construction, winding steps lead you up to the open-to-the-sky pool area surrounded by trees, some of them more than a hundred years old. Architect Fernando Rivera is recognized for his Vallarta-style design, which includes the surrounding landscape as a major focus. Eight studios and four two-bedroom apartments establish a homey tower for those who appreciate the solitude this compound promises. Built at the corner of two low-traffic streets, the remove from the busy life below allows close access while creating a restful haven. Only 20% of the lot will be the construction itself, leaving the surrounding trees and vegetation as part of the appeal. Evidenced by the completed pool area with a multi-use room, reunions and parties will appreciate an incredible view of Banderas Bay. Eventually, the complex will include a total of approximately 90 apartments with a gym, snack bar, low maintenance fees and 24-hour security. With the first tower nearly 50% finished, construction is slated for completion by November 30, 2004. Pre-sale prices begin at $109,500 USD.
