Cancun Real Estate is an excellent combination of the high class luxury condos, beautiful beaches and events and culture to suit many tastes. As Cancun Real Estate prepares itself for the changes and new opportunities to be brought by the city's future status as an international air travel hub and international business center, the city is also making plans to add more monuments and "sights to see" to the city's landscape to match the new international image. As a part of this direction, the city government has recently presented a plan to build a new park to mark the upcoming celebration of the country's bi-centennial of independence for next year; the park will include a new City Hall and city Cathedral, designed to serve as tourist attractions and visual improvements to the city, along with the new park. Cancun Real Estate buyers, Mexican and non-Mexican alike, can look forward to participating in the activities that next year's celebrations will bring, and to the transformation of the city's image, culture and investment opportunities to a new international level. Cancun's mayor, Gregorio Sanchez Martinez, recently presented the integrated project of "Gran Parque Bicentenario" to the public, which will be located in Super-block 33. The mayor's exhibition included the technical details, a virtual tour and the unveiling of a model of one of the most important architectural projects for the municipality, for which there are a total of 87 thousand meters square for green and recreation areas allocated. During a press conference the mayor said that it will be a majestic work that will give further identity and personality to Cancun's recreation and family entertainment. The intention of the park's style is "to be a place that gives identity to Cancun's tourism and real estate industry's, where tourists go and take a pictures" and where residents can enjoy the pleasantness of day to day life. The construction of the park is planned to start in late November and will be finished and open for the public for the Independence Day celebrations on Sept. 16 2010. The total investment to build the park will be about 11 million dollars, not including the construction of the Cathedral. According to Salvador Lpez Cabrera, Cancun's director of Projects, the "Grand Bicentennial Park" will include a civic plaza, walkways, playgrounds, underground parking with 600 parking spots, a skating rink with synthetic material (which simulates ice) and also busts and information in memory of heroes of Independence and the Mexican Revolution. It will be a very significant ecological undertaking, which will mean an additional open space for the development of cultural, civic, sports and entertainment, not only an option for the national and international tourism, but even more so another option for Cancun Real Estate owners to enjoy life in this city. The new city hall, as the Cathedral, will serve both to increase practicality, and to beautify the city. The new city hall will have a monumental architectural scale, and will concentrate all government offices in one place, which will mean a saving of approximately a million dollars - the amount that is annually spent for renting properties due to the current low capacity of the government building. There will also be an area of six thousand square meters designated for future expansion. On the main facade, facing Javier Rojo Gomez (Kabah) avenue, at the center there will be a bronze statue of seven meters in height (not including the base) of Benito Jurez, a president from the mid 1800's, who is often considered the President who made many of the most significant contributions to Mexico's history, and whose name has been given to Cancun's municipality. On the sides, there will be two statues, five square meters each in high honor of Andrs Quintana Roo and Leona Vicario, two of the founding pioneers of the state of Quintana Roo. In total there will be invested over 12 million pesos in works of art. "In every city in the world are there are essential sites to visit, and now we will have a city hall with classical architecture and a cathedral to match what our city deserves", observed the mayor. In an underground area, which has already seen construction work there will be a parking lot with capacity for 600 cars, adding convenience for home owners in the area to arrive and enjoy the park by car. The mayor has likewise asked the council that the land use in that area be changed to provide three thousand more parking spots to meet new demand. The underground parking will be provided with elevators for wheel chair access. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the project has already been carried out and authorized.
