  • Infonavit has signed an agreement to build 15,000 homes in San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur, with an investment exceeding 9.5 billion pesos.
  • The development will include green areas and guaranteed utility services, aiming to provide affordable housing for workers.
  • This initiative is part of a broader housing program promoted by President Claudia Sheinbaum to combat housing shortages in the state.

Mexico's National Workers' Housing Fund Institute (Infonavit) has finalized a significant agreement to construct 15,000 new homes in San José del Cabo, Los Cabos, Baja California Sur. The project represents an investment of over 9.5 billion pesos (approximately $560 million USD) and is strategically located just 10 minutes from the hotel zone.

Octavio Romero Oropeza, Infonavit's Director General, detailed that the development will feature ample green spaces and ensure the consistent supply of all essential services. Crucially, its proximity to major employment centers in the hotel industry will allow eligible Infonavit beneficiaries to purchase homes of at least 60 square meters for an average cost of 627,000 pesos (around $37,000 USD). Monthly payments are projected to be lower than current rental costs for many workers.

The development will have green areas and the supply of all services will be guaranteed.

This development is a key component of the "Vivienda para el Bienestar" (Housing for Well-being) program, championed by President Claudia Sheinbaum. The initiative was further solidified through a Memorandum of Understanding signed by Romero Oropeza and Baja California Sur Governor Víctor Manuel Castro Cosío. The signing ceremony was attended by Edna Elena Vega Rangel, head of the Secretariat for Agrarian, Territorial, and Urban Development (Sedatu), who noted that the state plans to build a total of 45,000 homes, with 25,000 from Conavi and 20,000 from Infonavit.

Governor Castro Cosío expressed gratitude for the program, emphasizing its importance in addressing the significant housing deficit in the region and improving the quality of life for the people of Baja California Sur. The agreement builds upon a broader collaboration established in October 2024, involving multiple federal and state agencies, aimed at streamlining administrative and fiscal processes to expedite housing construction.

The homes that will be built are important for the people of Baja California Sur, helping them combat the housing backlog in the entity.
