According to Lamudi, foreign direct investments (FDI) boost the real estate market and the construction industry in all southeast Mexico. This year, foreign investments have grown around 71.25 percent in the first quarter of 2017, compared with the same period last year, going from $184 million USD to $315.1 million USD.

“When it comes to Real Estate, the states of Campeche, Quintana Roo, Tabasco and Yucatán show the greatest growth nationwide, receiving billions of dollars from FDI”, reports the Federal Secretariat of Economy.

Lamudi informed that the Riviera Maya is the country’s leader in foreign investment, as numerous tourist real estate developments such as hotels, theme parks and resorts are being constructed near its marvelous beaches. For example, the stylish boutique hotel SLS Cancún will open its doors in early 2018.
