This is the first phase of the ambitious Vaiven project consisting of 149 2 and 3 bedroom luxury condominium residences set on over 9000 square meters of property. Features of this project include underground parking facilities, a cinema lounge, a fully equipped gym, Yoga, dance and Tai Chi Solariums, an onsite&amp;nbsp;infirmary and a children&amp;#39;s playground. A majority of the mature tropical trees have been preserved on the property and the developers plan to make use of sustainable resources for their building materials and impliment a rainwater catch system to irrigate the massive gardens and green spaces&amp;nbsp;on the property. Delivery is scheduled for Fall 2009.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008031.jpg" style="width:475px;height:350px;" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008029.jpg" style="width:475px;height:350px;" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008023.jpg" style="width:475px;height:350px;" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="475" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008028.jpg" style="width:350px;height:475px;" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008033.jpg" style="width:475px;height:350px;" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Playacar Phase 1 has quite a bit of construction going on including this enormous 2 villa project going up quickly next to &lt;a href="http://www.casavistaplaya.com/" title="Casa Vista Vacation Rental Villa" target="_blank"&gt;Casa Vista&lt;/a&gt;. Reported to boast a whopping 8 bedrooms each, these new ocean-view homes will certainly be a great vacation rental option for large groups or families traveling together. I should&amp;nbsp;mention that this is the most professional and well managed worksite we have ever seen in Mexico. Notice the hard hats and reflective vests. The clean and orderly appearance of the jobsite, the covered lunch area and laundry facilities make the standards of this&amp;nbsp;builder unique&amp;nbsp;in this region. Bravo. We look forward to seeing the final results!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/PlayacarPhase1Construction7.jpg" style="width:475px;height:350px;" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="475" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/PlayacarPhase1Construction10.jpg" style="width:350px;height:475px;" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/PlayacarPhase1Construction2.jpg" style="width:475px;height:350px;" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/PlayacarPhase1Construction3.jpg" style="width:475px;height:350px;" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Back in downtown Playa del Carmen, just one block from the beach, &lt;a href="http://www.buyplaya.com/Playa_del_Carmen/Quintana_Roo/Condos/Playa_del_Carmen/Downtown/Agent/Listing_1098473.html" title="Acanto Condominiums" target="_blank"&gt;Acanto Condominiums&lt;/a&gt; are ready to begin construction. The lot, located next to the popular Acanto Hotel on calle 16, has already been cleared. These luxury 1, 2 and 3 bedroom condominiums have been designed by the same award winning architect who created the Villas Sacbe, Porto Playa, El Taj and most recently, Maya Villas. In keeping with the design of the hotel, these condos will have a romantic appeal with influences from the far East. Prices for full ownership include gym menbership and start in the low $300,000s. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008007.jpg" style="width:475px;height:350px;" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="475" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008008.jpg" style="width:350px;height:475px;" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008004.jpg" style="width:475px;height:350px;" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008011.jpg" style="width:475px;height:350px;" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just next door on Avenida 1, the construction of &lt;a href="http://www.buyplaya.com/Listing/ViewListingDetailsAuthenticated.aspx?ListingID=1708792&amp;amp;Preview=False&amp;amp;LastTabIndex=0&amp;amp;BackEmailID=-1&amp;amp;ShowCompact=true" title="Maya Villas " target="_blank"&gt;Maya Villas&lt;/a&gt; is progressing rapidly. Today, the crews&amp;nbsp;were putting&amp;nbsp;a smooth finish on the exterior and painting. Some palapa is already in place over the spacious terraces. Delivery of these units in time&amp;nbsp;to capture&amp;nbsp;high season rentals seems very likely. This is a beautiful project with just a few units left to sell.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008012.jpg" style="width:475px;height:350px;" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="475" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008013.jpg" style="width:350px;height:475px;" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008015.jpg" style="width:475px;height:350px;" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="475" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008014.jpg" style="width:350px;height:475px;" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The construction of El Faro Residences is moving along quickly with&amp;nbsp;its well funded crew. The model unit is ready to show and several of the buildings have been completed. The interiors remain to be finished but it appears that this controversial project will successfully reach completion and delivery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008017.jpg" style="width:475px;height:350px;" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="475" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008021.jpg" style="width:350px;height:475px;" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" src="http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh26/MicheleinPlaya/Construction%20Updates/May%202008/ConstructionUpdateMay2008020.jpg" style="width:475px;height:350px;" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;OK, that&amp;#39;s all for this month.
