THE PROPERTY HISTORY & VISION Located at the southern end of Baja California Sur, Los Cabos is one of Mexico’s top resort destinations for relaxation and adventure. It encompasses the historical towns of San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, which have some of the most breathtaking beaches, magnificent natural attractions, and superb wellness havens in Mexico. Del Mar originated in a unique slice of land called Palmilla, which stretches from a pristine beachfront to a desert mountainside, just outside of San José del Cabo. Friends Ron Hatfield and Kenneth Schnitzer vacationed here in 1994 and saw the potential to build a world-class community that combined luxury lifestyle, privacy, and comfort. Soon later, they purchased their first sliver of land next to the Palmilla Hotel, breaking ground on Villas Del Mar in 1995. The company they created, Del Mar Development, quickly evolved based on their motto of innovation and quality, which later led to the creation of its Four Cornerstones of Success. Twenty-five years later, Del Mar contemplates new ventures and projects that will further solidify its place as a leading innovation company.

ENDURING VALUE Interest in Los Cabos as a resort home destination has grown consistently over the past two decades, and property values have increased along with it. Since 2005, we have seen a steady trend towards appreciation with prices for resale homes remaining comparable to new home sales prices, proving that Del Mar homes hold their value, even despite economic downturns. We expect our homes’ values to keep increasing in the future.
INNOVATIVE DESIGN & QUALITY CONSTRUCTION NEW DIRECTIONS IN RESORT HOME DESIGN As of September 2019, 239 homes and 28 home sites have been sold in Del Mar Communities. Over the years, these communities have turned into more of a family destination, attracting groups of three or more generations, as well as younger buyers. The architecture of Del Mar has distinctly evolved with each new neighborhood. Groundbreaking design features are added to the residences, incorporating new elements of contemporary design and home technology, while maintaining the overall visual integrity of the entire community. Some of these new features include: More spacious and innovative home designs that take you and your pet’s needs into consideration. Lavish outdoor living spaces featuring shaded pavilions, larger fire pits, new fountain designs, and a wide range of pool features for multigenerational enjoyment. Unique climate-controlled wine cellars and bar areas. More access friendly single-level and two-story homes. Improved lighting and new energy-saving features that include photovoltaic solar panels, LED lighting, and inverter air conditioners.
