Property Information
Located on the beach of Puerto Penasco, the first property for sale was originally designated for a large resort. The 34± acre site has 670± feet of Sea of Cortez beachfront and 869± feet of Morua Estuary shoreline, and it has been authorized for 1,086 condos and permitted and approved for 318 condos.
Also for sale is a development site in the popular Sandy Beach area, which has seen considerable tourist development in the past 7 years. Ideal for condominium or commercial development with beach access, the tract is 8.11± acres and located on Boulevard Costero, the main channel of traffic flow into the Sandy Beach area.
Buyers will also have the opportunity to purchase Suenos Del Mar, a 102± acre tract with 100 ft. of beachfront, ideal for a comprehensive, master-planned community. In addition, the property is located in the Tourist Zone on Fremont Boulevard, the main east/west thoroughfare, which allows developers to use the property for a variety of projects: residential homes, condominium projects, hotels, commercial centers and more.
The fourth property to be auctioned is a 29± acre tract located at a key intersection near the eastern city limits of Puerto Penasco.
