Who is the developer?

Grupo Ascenso Edificante A, the developer of Soulam Puerto Morelos.

How many units are in the project?

27 residences (plus one ground-floor commercial space), preserving its boutique, low-density character.

What types of units are available?

Primarily one-bedroom residences, as well as select two-bedroom units and penthouses. Square footage, layout, terrace, orientation, and views vary by unit.

7. Sales Phase, Reservations, and Payment Plans

How much is required to reserve a unit?

The reservation deposit is MXN $100,000 and is fully refundable for 15 days. It is paid to the account designated by Grupo Ascenso Edificante A while the investor’s initial application is compiled and approved. This amount is deducted from the total price and credited toward the down payment.

Can prices change?

Yes. Prices reflect the current sales phase and are subject to availability and change.

8. Development Trust and Investor Assurance

Is Sensum being developed through a real estate trust?

Yes. Sensum is structured through a real estate development trust with specific rules and procedures for administering, developing, and carrying out the project.

What is a real estate development trust?

It is a legal structure under which certain assets, rights, and/or funds related to the project are held in a separate trust estate for specific purposes, subject to the terms of the trust.

How does the trust benefit investors?

In addition to Grupo Ascenso Edificante A’s track record, investors go through a formal process to join the trust structure. This adds another layer of organization, oversight, traceability, and transparency to the investment process and the handling of funds deposited into the trust.

Why did Grupo Ascenso Edificante A choose this structure?

It allows Sensum to be developed under a formal legal and banking structure with additional procedures and controls. Specific mechanisms for administration, identification, and tracking of funds complement the developer’s track record.

Is the Sensum trust the same type of trust a foreign buyer uses to purchase property in Mexico?

No. These are separate arrangements. The Sensum trust is the development structure through which investors join the project. Separately, a foreign buyer may need an individual bank trust (fideicomiso) to acquire rights to property within Mexico’s restricted zone.

9. Purchase Process and Joining the Trust

What are the stages of the purchase process?

There are two stages: first, the investor’s application and approval with Grupo Ascenso Edificante A; second, completion of the bank’s requirements and formal admission to the trust.

What happens during the first stage with the developer?

The buyer selects a unit, chooses a payment plan, signs the Offer Letter, and pays the reservation deposit. Grupo Ascenso Edificante A compiles the investor’s initial application and, once it is approved, the parties formalize the Agreement to Join the Trust (Promesa de Adhesión al Fideicomiso).

What happens during the second stage with the trustee bank?

Once the developer approves the transaction, the buyer completes the application required to join the trust, including identification, tax, and compliance information. Once the application is complete and approved, the buyer signs the Trust Joinder Agreement (Adhesión al Fideicomiso) and formally becomes part of the applicable trust structure.

Which account should payments be sent to?

The MXN $100,000 reservation deposit is initially paid to the account designated by Grupo Ascenso Edificante A because the investor’s application and approval are still in progress. The down payment is paid directly into the trust’s bank account. Subsequent payments will follow the applicable payment plan and documents.

How long does the process take?

As a working estimate, allow approximately two weeks for the first stage (reservation, document collection, and the Agreement to Join the Trust) and approximately two additional weeks to complete the bank’s application and proceed to signing the Trust Joinder Agreement. Timing may vary depending on when documents are submitted and how long reviews take.

10. Foreign Buyers

Can a foreign buyer invest in Sensum?

Yes. Foreign buyers can acquire property in Puerto Morelos through the applicable legal structure.

How does the process work for foreign buyers given that Puerto Morelos is in the restricted zone?

In addition to participating in Sensum’s development trust, a foreign buyer generally needs a separate individual bank trust (fideicomiso) to acquire the property in the restricted zone. These are different processes and separate trusts.

Will the team assist foreign investors throughout the process?

Yes. The sales and legal teams guide investors through the required documentation and steps to complete the transaction. Bank, trust, notary, and closing costs must be quoted and confirmed for each transaction.

11. Notes for Brokers and Investors

Where can I confirm availability and pricing?

Always check with the Sensum sales team. Inventory, promotions, prices, and payment plans may change as sales progress.

Can I share renderings and marketing materials?

Yes, provided you use the current official materials supplied by Sensum. Renderings illustrate the architectural concept; adjustments may be made as construction documents and engineering are finalized, based on material availability or construction requirements.
