Bidding for the new Riviera Maya Airport has not yet been announced, but the project is now considered so certain that it&amp;rsquo;s regularly listed as one of Mexico&amp;rsquo;s top infrastructure projects for 2008.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;Having a shorter commute to your property is hardly the only benefit a new airport may bring. As we&amp;#39;ve seen in other areas in Mexico, a new airport can drive up real estate values, attract foreign investment, and lead to public and private infrastructure projects. (And, in fact, highway expansion and improvement in the state of Quintana Roo, where the airport will be located, are also high on the list of infrastructure projects for this year.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;Newspapers here in the Yucat&amp;aacute;n say that the preliminary studies for the airport, including market and technical studies, have been submitted to the &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;Secretar&amp;iacute;a de Comunicaciones y Transportes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; (Ministry of Communications and Transports, or SCT). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;The SCT has already announced that it will open bidding for construction in the first half of 2008. As we wrote in October, four firms have indicated that they&amp;rsquo;ll bid on the project.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;A message from Mexico First Alert&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.internationalliving.com/" title="International Living Website" target="_blank"&gt;International Living&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;January 16, 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';"&gt;Tulum, Mexico&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Condos to be sold at Public Auction in Puerto Aventuras - Feb. 24, 2008</title><link>http://www.buyplaya.com/blogs/rob_kinnon/archive/2007/12/10/30bc86412e73496f98a562d42bfb0383.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Dec 2007 18:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">14a763be-f740-46b4-a9dd-f83ef9d28be2:205907</guid><dc:creator>435836</dc:creator><description>&lt;p class="summary" style="margin-top:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="summary" style="margin-top:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="summary" style="margin-top:0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="dateline" id="LeadIn"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real Estate News/Market Update, Puerto Aventuras &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;1,500 sq. ft., 2 bath, 2/3 bedroom&amp;nbsp;condos&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;-&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Originally Priced from &lt;span&gt;$219,000 - $395,000&lt;/span&gt; usd&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="summary" style="margin-top:0px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The developers of Marina Mia, in order to pursue other endeavors, have opted to auction off the remaining units at Marina Mia in Puerto Aventuras.
