In an old Yucatecan materials bank, which became a plot of land with a strategic location, but forgotten by companies, a new way of living is built in Mérida: Estela Norte.

A community created by AMG Developments, and that is committed to sustainability, that seeks to be the first in the world to access certificates and standards on the subject, both for the residences that are built, and for the environment in which they operate. .

"We decided to be more responsible and make the issue of certification. We are the only housing development in the world with SITES certification, which verifies the form of organization or common areas of a project," explains Jorge Alcocer, director of the developer.

In search of being circular and permeating its sustainable philosophy from the laying of the first stone, to the way it will be inhabited, Cálida was created, a program focused on creating community.

The manager explains that it was developed over two years in the hands of specialists in sociology so that coexistence at the site is effective: “we are the first company at the national level with a program with a system to manage communities and have harmony. For example, we will have conflict resolution committees that will do internal work with the neighbors, ”he says.

Estela Norte is a special project for AMG Desarrollos, as it shows the new face of the company and represents a watershed in its history. Thus, the purpose of the organization was reconsidered and we decided that from now on AMG no longer builds houses, but builds communities that help create a better society, ”says Jorge Alcocer.

Creating an entire sustainable community is not all the way to go. The company first encountered an internal challenge, but they decided that this is how things should be done, first facing the barrier of resistance between us and the collaborators.

After having won the first battle, the developer encountered the ordeal of government processes. There the efforts and investment made were worthwhile for the genesis of Estela Norte in Conkal, north of Mérida.

With common areas that go from a lake, to a corridor, boardwalk, kayaks, vegetation, lighting, as well as a business center and services such as a pharmacy, convenience stores and even an artisan bakery and school for pets.

Homes with a value of 1.8 million pesos or more have water saving systems, special glass so that heat does not enter directly and a cool temperature is maintained with the help of polystyrene plates.

The measures represent up to 40% savings in the consumption of resources within households.

The properties are divided into four private ones. The first, which will have a linear park, will have four different models of residences ranging from 110 to 136 square meters with a covered garage and / or swimming pool.

AMG Desarrolladora also foresees good results at the investment level. Despite having sacrificed part of the profit, in order to implement sustainable and sustainable measures, it is estimated that the resale will have a 15% annual capital gain, in addition to a rapid placement on the market.
