32 LOS CABOS MAGAZINE | SPRING 2014 Losr eCala ebstoatse building lots; a number of custom homes are also for sale. The El Altillo and La Noria neighbors feature somewhat smaller lots, but home prices here are well into the seven figures. The views from these properties are stunning. The Golf Villas, located on the ninth fairway of the Greg Norman signature course, are 14 2,000-plus-square-foot homes that include private terraces, top-of-the-line finishes, five years of free play on the Norman course, and Beach Club membership. Prices here range from $900,000 U.S. to $1.2 million U.S.; at present no developer financing is available. Grupo Questro is the developer of Puerto Los Cabos; it has also developed many other premier communities in the Los Cabos region and is led by the real estate empresario Eduardo Sánchez Navarro. Grupo Portus, having built three wildly successful subdivisions all under the Ventanas brand, is working on two very different projects. On the Cabo San Lucas side, work is already under way on the Cabo del Mar Ocean and Ecopark Village. This large project is just a few minutes’ drive from all the excitement to be found at the heart of Cabo San Lucas, and the product is targeted at families. The homes here start in the mid-$130,000 U.S. range, and are all incorporated into a park-like setting. There are two threebedroom floor plans; both have an option to be enlarged. The condominiums start at $90,000 U.S. for a fully equipped one-bedroom unit. As is the norm for Portus projects, the center of the neighborhood will be a large clubhouse with pools, restaurants, spas, and shops. An outdoor amphitheater is planned, and the park will include biking trails, exotic plants, and the opportunity to participate in organic gardening. Portus is selling these homes pre-construction, with some developer financing available. Grupo Portus’s other new venture is an oceanfront luxury beach and spa resort in San José del Cabo, Soleado. The resort will offer hotel-style services and amenities; the units are sold furnished so owners can put their condo into the hotel rental plan when not being used. These beachfront condominiums are expected to start at about $400,000 U.S. Las Villas de México is a gated subdivision within the larger master-planned community of Club Campestre (a Grupo Questro product). These colonial-style homes have been designed to attract foreign investors looking for middle to high-end vacation or retirement homes. The villas start at $375,000 U.S., and developer financing is available. As part of Club Campestre, owners at Villas de México will be able to enjoy playing on the Jack Nicklaus golf course and relaxing at the elegant beach club. Tennis, shopping, and dining are also planned for Club Campestre, and it is adjacent to the newly built Convention Center. Palmilla had the first golf resort in Los Cabos, and it boasts one of the area’s most popular beaches. It is still considered
