Everyone is talking about how Playa Del Carmen is changing. This is nothing new since Playa Del Carmen has been one of the fastest growing cities in the Latin America. Construction in Playa Del Carmen can be seen in all areas of the city. Investment small and large is happening.
Playa Del Carmen continues to draw people from all over the world with its beautiful beaches and charm. All of these people require housing.
Recently there have been some big projects announced that are going to be effecting some well known areas around 5th Avenue as well as some other spots. We thought we would bring you this gallery to show you just some of the changes happening in Playa Del Carmen.
New condos and hotels and other developments for Playa Del Carmen
Some people lament that Playa Del Carmen is changing too fast or it is not the place they first came to years ago. It is a fact Playa Del Carmen is changing, but before we say it is a bad thing, there is also a good side to it.
There is a reason why it is growing, it is people like you that keep coming back. It is a popular place and now as it grows there are more places for people to stay, eat and visit. For residents there is more shopping and availability of products that were previously only available in Cancun. Many empty lots that were not taken care of very well are now destinations and attractions for tourist and locals and soon seamlessly fit into the unique landscape that is Playa Del Carmen. Not everything will be what you want to see built in Playa Del Carmen but we do encourage everyone to visit and see some of the nice additions to the city.

Thanks for showing this.. I think a lot of us are concerned, and it’s helpful to see these photos. I’m glad I’m north, but some people may welcome all the changes to centro.
We’re not happy at all at what we see! Mosquito Blue and Mosquito Beach both had interesting architecture that fit the vibe of the city, and the replacements all seem like big bland office buildings. Calle Corazon had the charm, which developers had no problem demolishing. We love Playa and hope it all turns out well. But after coming 5 years in a row, we’re going to sit out and see how this all turns out before we return.
thanks for sharing. it’s a very helpful piece in what’s to come. I’ve hear there is a new project near the hotel I stay at and wondering if you know what they’re building. it’s on 4th Street between 5th Ave and the beach.
