We take you inside the popular Ventanas Residences by Portus.
Plus: A sneak-peek at its newest ventures

The Portus Group is legendary within Los Cabos real estate circles. Unlike many of its counterparts, Portus Group did not experience a downturn with the Great Recession. Instead its ultra-successful Ventanas Residences projects in Cabo San Lucas continue to nearly sell out inventory during the pre-construction phase. The three Ventanas Cabo master-planned communities (also known as Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III) combine single-family homes and condominiums in an elegant setting. The centerpiece of each is an amenities-packed clubhouse. The Club at Ventanas del Mar includes such features as two pools (one reserved for adults), hot tubs, fire pits, a fitness center, a full-service spa, a multimedia lounge, a Home Store, a market offering freshly baked breads and sweets, three restaurants, access to private yachts, a kids’ club, and a nondenominational chapel. If you don’t feel like venturing out, the restaurants deliver room service.
Living in a Portus property, says marketing director José Acosta, feels like living in your own hotel. There are units available in Ventanas de Cabo (Phase III-B), and some units are available in all phases. To try out this lifestyle, consider dining at the Santitos Restaurant in Ventanas del Mar, which is open to the public and offers excellent food at modest prices.

Rather than do a fourth phase of Ventanas, Portus introduced the Cabo del Mar Ocean and Ecopark Village. Having noted that Los Cabos lacked a nature park, Portus Group decided to offer single-family homes and condos within a series of natural parks. The parks will each have a theme and be accessible from residences (no street crossing required). Pedestrian and family-friendly Cabo del Mar Village will offer a clubhouse with all the amenities of Portus’s projects, but it will include more outdoor amenities like cycle paths, gardens, and an amphitheater. Condominiums in Cabo del Mar Village start at $99,000 U.S., and single-family homes start at about $150,000 U.S. There are numerous upgrade packages available at reasonable prices, and all homes will come with a one-year warranty. Portus Group expects to start delivering pre-sold homes in 2014.

If that weren’t enough, Portus Group has just announced its newest venture: Soleado Beach & Spa Resort. This elegant condo-hotel will be located on the popular swim and surf beach Costa Azul in San José del Cabo. Only 20 units will be offered; prices start at approximately $400,000 U.S. (unheard of for beachfront residences). All of the residences will be delivered furnished, and owners will be encouraged to participate in a hotel rental program. For more information, go to https://www.loscabosguide.com/ventanasresidences/
