Amaitlán in Stone Island is being marketed as the first sustainable tourism city in the world. The developer says they are now ready to begin with the development and construction phase of commercial areas, golf courses and the first resort hotel.
This second phase will begin after the final work on the botanical garden, which is situated on 2.5 hectares of land. Víctor Sánchez Sariñana with the development company Real Korian said the botanical garden is scheduled to open to the public within a few days without an entrance fee, at least for a few months.
Regarding the first resort hotel, Víctor Sánchez said Real Korian is in negotiations with U.S. investors. He did not disclose the parties with whom they are negotiating or the amount of investment, but he said he hoped that construction would begin this year.
Víctor Sánchez said 850 hectares will be allocated to the most extensive urban park in the world. By way of comparison, he said, “Central Park (New York) has 300 hectares and the Amaitlán will comprise 850 acres, for which we will have to plant millions of plants.”
The Real Korian spokesman said Amaitlán in Stone Island was created by urban planner Jaime Lerner with the first phase of the project begun in 2011 and includes a plan for 25 years. According to the original design Amaitlán will use recycled water, solar and mixed energy, 100 percent garbage recycling, provide transportation by electric cars, wagons, horses and water, among other measures to care for the environment.
