How to Make Money with Riviera Maya Real Estate

Mexico encompasses breathtaking beaches, The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, ancient Mayan ruins, world-class shopping, and dining. It’s the perfect mix of colonial cities and modern lifestyles with a Mayan influence along the Yucatan Peninsula. SIMCA Desarrollos is at the heart of Mexico’s Southeast connecting
investors to high-performing investments and welcoming second-home buyers to their dream homes in these vibrant cities.

Over the last 15+ years, SIMCA has dominated the market with the most exclusive developments in Merida, Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum. Their unique building and innovative style differentiate them from other developers earning them multiple awards over the years. With their expertise, they’ve expanded the real estate market in the Yucatan and Riviera Maya.

Business Opportunities are exploding with the industrial powerhouse of Merida. New residential gated communities, improved infrastructure, and amenities put SIMCA in the limelight. Families are lured by the desire for security and a low cost of living. Their industrial projects offer investors a piece of the industrial boom from businesses relocating to the area.


With the luxury tourism growth in Cancun, SIMCA leads the way with a 20-story residential development and private marina project slated to begin soon.


Statistics show hotel occupancy rates vary between 85%-92%. SIMCA capitalized on this to launch their Singular Residence & Hotel in Playa del Carmen. Investors looking for high performing properties with an average of 9.5% ROI after 12 months can secure one of these residences. The minimum guaranteed success rate is 4% for one of these turnkey properties in the chic 5th Avenue district. For the second home buyer or investor looking for passive income, mixed-use condo properties with rooftop pools, sky bars, underground parking, and spas satisfy an array of budgets. Luxury has no limits with SIMCA.


Tulum, home to the famous Mayan pyramid on a cliff overlooking the sea features the only beachfront gated community called Gran Tulum. SIMCA is the pioneer of the first master-planned residential development with direct access to the beach featuring sustainability, relaxation, and creativity centers.


Not only does SIMCA’s expansion efforts help investors and second home buyers, but our new program, “SIMCA Realtor Referral Program” is a way for realtors to “Go Global” by collaborating with us.
