- The master-planned project will be located in Compostela and will have five hotels—including a luxury Fairmont property—as well as over 2,500 residential units, a beach club and a PGA category golf course designed by Lorena Ochoa and Greg Norman.
In a press conference held during the 41st Tianguis Turístico
event in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Roberto Sandoval Castañeda, the Governor of the
State of Nayarit, and Mexico’s Secretary of Tourism, Enrique de la Madrid,
together announced the new Costa Canuva project, the newest tourism complex to
be built in the Riviera Nayarit.
“What was once Costa Capomo is now Costa Canuva—and the project is on,”
assured the Governor in reference to the master-planned community of Costa
Canuva, located in the municipality of Compostela. With an estimated investment
of MEX$36 billion by Portuguese company Mota-Engil, the project will generate
six thousand direct jobs and another 18 thousand indirect jobs.
“Today we’re announcing the creation of seven thousand new rooms between
the residences, apartments, condominiums and hotels; and we have made the
commitment to remove any obstacles [to the project]. This is the first new
development created by the Government of the Republic in the Riviera Nayarit,” said
Sandoval Castañeda, who pointed out the excellent Ochoa-Norman collaboration
was only missing the best development in the world—the Riviera Nayarit.
“We're celebrating this joint effort between Mexico, Portuguese and
North American enterprise and distinguished Mexicans, and we’re congratulating
ourselves on this very important, very powerful investment that will contribute
to the development of Nayarit as well as that of the Mexican people,” announced
De la Madrid Cordero.
“Costa Canuva is a seaside community that will include five luxury
hotels, over 2,500 residential units and a beach club,” commented Rafael Lang,
CEO of Mota-Engil. “I’m also very pleased to announce today the first hotel
will be part of the Fairmont group.”
The 18-hole PGA-category golf course will be built across 71 hectares;
two holes will be parallel to the ocean and another two will have extraordinary
views. It will be the first golf course ever co-designed by ex-golfers Lorena
Ochoa of Mexico and Australia’s Greg Norman.
“This is a dream come true for me,” said Lorena Ochoa. “This is the
first golf course with my name on it in Mexico or anywhere the world, and I’m
extremely excited and proud. It’s in the perfect location, really ideal, and
I’d love for my children to grow up there.”
Construction will begin soon; the first stage is expected to be finished
by 2017.
