The summer in Los Cabos has been surprisingly pleasant with relatively moderate climate for this time of the year. Many tourist are enjoying the warm Sea of Cortez waters and beautiful summer nights . For many tourist visiting the area, the weather is not the only surprise they find in Los Cabos. El Encanto de La Laguna has not only kept our doors open, we are currently building five single family residences with a combined value of more than $18,000,000. U.S. Dollars. Not only is the construction of El Encanto de La Laguna booming, the new bridge that connects downtown San Jose to the marina at Puerto Los Cabos is now open !
With our construction team thriving, the community has gone through numerous changes over the past two years to maximize resources and focus on simply building a more eco-friendly home that is a much higher quality product than 95% of the Los Cabos real estate inventory. The shift in construction strategy combines new construction technologies from foam insulated building systems to flex line plumbing to high efficiency pool pumps. We are now implementing a wood look PVC window that is dual paned with a Tintex film that not only provides the beautiful look we are striving for, but delivers a product that cuts energy bills, is far less maintenance, while at the same time leaving a much smaller carbon footprint on the planet. Overall, the developers felt that due to the slower economy and the shift from years of being a seller's market to a buyer's market, it made more sense to invest into quality rather than scaling back because in the end, our mission is to deliver the best value in Los Cabos. The developers are now seeing the results of their changed construction methods with new offers being brought in largely due to the fact that the value of what El Encanto de La Laguna offers is simply one of the best in all of Los Cabos.
The developers of El Encanto de La Laguna did not stop at producing more value through a higher quality product. As of now the developers have launched a new amenities plan that will replace the former clubhouse that would have been located at the top of the community. The new plan will combine some newly acquired land just outside of the front gates of El Encanto and will be much more space to deliver the type of amenities many of our buyers are looking for. Whether it be a game of tennis, a work-out in the state-of-the-art ocean view gym, or simply relaxing by the pool, the developers are determined to deliver a facility that encompasses the active lifestyle that many of our El Encanto owners live. The new amenities center plans will be unveiled early this fall.
Aside from the exciting changes with the construction quality and the new amenities center soon to come, the community has been looking great due to the hard work of the seasoned maintenance and administrative staff under the management of Carlos Rubio. Carlos was a new addition to the team approximately 12 months ago and has really made a huge impact on the maintenance of El Encanto. From the well manicured palms to the beautiful stone beach path, the community is impeccable day in and out due to the hard work of he and his staff.
There has also been great work done on the administrative side led by Alfredo Solorzano. Alfredo has been instrumental in establishing the current HOA and making sure that everything is set up exactly as it should be with billing and concierge all working together with maintenance to deliver a hassle free ownership experience for our clientele. Now that the HOA is well into its second year, the system is running very smoothly and the surveillance committees are regularly meeting with Alfredo and his team.
We cannot forget to thank our homeowners and acknowledge their ongoing support. There has been very hard work put in by the surveillance committees and with their support and the general support of all owners, El Encanto de La Laguna is truly a community in paradise. It is with our great pleasure that we will continue to build the dream with our community and create a lifestyle like nothing else in the world.
