The investment, in numbers
In May 2025, a square meter at Selvadentro cost $119 USD. Today it costs $167 — up 40% in twelve months — and the developer projects $280–360 USD/m² at project close. Lots start at $68,000 USD, on a 48-month interest-free plan, directly with the developer.

The price series, documented
| Point in time | Price per m² | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Launch · May 2025 | $119 USD | Selvadentro’s opening price |
| Today · September 2026 | $167 USD | +40% in 12 months |
| Project close | $280–360 USD | Developer projection — not a guarantee |
Updated: September 2026. The closing figure is the developer’s projection and depends on sales pace and construction; the historical series ($119 → $167) is documented list pricing.
Why does it rise? Scarcity is geography
Selvadentro is the only private residential development on Tulum’s Ruta de los Cenotes. Nothing comparable is being built around it: the neighbors are nature reserves and attractions. On the jungle side of Tulum, comparable supply cannot grow — and inside the project, two of the three enclaves (Mirador and Refugio) are already fully sold. Suspiro is what remains.
External scarcity is compounded by internal scarcity: lots run 400 to 1,673 m² and the building rules prevent densification. Every price increase so far has happened with no neighboring product to undercut it.
The infrastructure catalysts, with dates
| Catalyst | Status | What it means for the project |
|---|---|---|
| Maya Train | Passenger service since December 2023 | The Tulum station is 8 minutes from the project |
| Tulum International Airport (Felipe Carrillo Puerto) | Opened December 1, 2023 | International arrivals 35 minutes away |
| Playa-Cobá bypass | Under construction nearby | A new road corridor relieving the coastal highway |
Land tends to appreciate when infrastructure arrives after you buy. Here, two of the three catalysts are already operating.
How the 48-month plan works
- Step 1
Choose and reserve
Pick your lot on site or by video call over the masterplan, then reserve it with a purchase agreement before a notary and an initial down payment.
- Step 2
Pay with no interest
The balance splits into monthly payments over 48 months at 0% interest, directly with the developer — no bank financing involved.
- Step 3
Use it from day one
Access to the nine cenotes and the amenities starts with your purchase; delivery of the finished Suspiro is scheduled for 2029.
- Step 4
Close
The deal closes before a Mexican notary. Foreign buyers add the bank trust (fideicomiso) — the standard, fully legal structure for coastal Mexico.
What protects the investment?
The building code is the lock: 35% COS (max lot coverage), 70% CUS, and a cap of two levels plus roof deck. It binds every owner equally, so the low density that supports today’s value cannot be built away against you tomorrow. 65% of the project’s jungle stays untouched by design.
Long-term maintenance is also structured: a fee of ≈ 5 MXN per m² per month plus a trust reserve. And in September 2025, Selvadentro proved full permit compliance to SEDETUS Quintana Roo — the full record is on the legal compliance page.
The complete costs, no surprises
| Item | Amount | When |
|---|---|---|
| Lot price | From $68,000 USD | Down payment + 48 interest-free installments |
| Closing costs (typical for the Riviera Maya) | 6–8% of the price | At titling: acquisition tax (ISABI), registry and notary |
| Fideicomiso (foreign buyers only) | Setup billed separately + a typical $500–700 USD yearly bank fee | At titling, then annually |
| Maintenance (HOA) | ≈ 5 MXN per m² per month + trust reserve | Monthly, from delivery |
Closing costs and the trust’s bank fee are typical market ranges for the Riviera Maya; your notary confirms the exact figures for your purchase.
