Puerto Morelos has started to conquer new international markets—and this time, it made a strong first impression. On April 12 and 13, 2025, we participated for the first time in the prestigious Canada International Property Show, held in Toronto, Canada. This major real estate expo brought together investors, potential buyers, developers, and industry experts from around the world.
In this article, we share all the details about this historic international debut for ITM Desarrolladores, the lessons learned, the impact generated, and the exciting opportunities opening up for Puerto Morelos, one of the best-kept secrets of the Mexican Caribbean.
What Is the Canada International Property Show?
The Canada International Property Show is one of the most important real estate events in North America. Each year, it attracts hundreds of attendees including international buyers, brokers, developers, investment funds, and more. It’s the perfect platform to showcase high-potential real estate projects from countries such as Mexico, the Dominican Republic, the UAE, and beyond.
Having a booth at this expo is an excellent opportunity to position real estate developments in front of an audience that is interested in investing outside of Canada—particularly in warm-weather destinations like the Mexican Caribbean.
ITM Desarrolladores Lands in Canada
On April 12 and 13, 2025, ITM Desarrolladores officially presented its real estate portfolio to the Canadian public. This marked our very first participation in an international expo, setting a new milestone for our company. Our goal: to expand our network of international clients and raise awareness about investment opportunities in Puerto Morelos.
From day one, our booth received a steady flow of visitors eager to learn more about the lifestyle in the Mexican Caribbean, the region’s booming real estate market, and most importantly, the competitive advantages of our Vanguardia project.
Strong Interest in Puerto Morelos Among Attendees
One of the highlights of the event was the strong interest shown by attendees in Puerto Morelos. Many were looking for a less crowded alternative to Cancún or Playa del Carmen—but with all the same advantages in location, connectivity, and safety.
Puerto Morelos stood out for its peaceful atmosphere, proximity to the Cancún International Airport (just 20 minutes away), and its growing tourism infrastructure. It’s the perfect destination for both investors and retirees seeking a property to live in or rent out.
Vanguardia: The Project That Sparked Curiosity
Vanguardia is a pre-sale project featuring a modern design, excellent location, and extremely competitive pricing.
What struck the audience most was that, just a four-hour flight from Toronto, they could own property in the Caribbean for a fraction of what they would pay in the Canadian market.
The affordability of Vanguardia, combined with the potential for high capital appreciation, caught the attention of families, retirees, and brokers who specialize in international properties.
Why Are Canadians Investing in the Mexican Caribbean?
The answer lies in the combination of benefits that Mexico offers as an investment destination:
- Warm weather all year round
- Lower cost of living compared to Canada
- Rich cultural and tourist attractions
- Direct air connectivity
- Clear regulations for foreign investors
- High returns from vacation rentals
In this context, Puerto Morelos is emerging as one of the most promising destinations for mid- and long-term growth, offering a balance of development, nature, and a relaxed lifestyle.
The Importance of Participating in International Expos
For ITM Desarrolladores, participating in the Canada International Property Show was not just a business opportunity—it was also a key strategy to build brand presence and introduce our projects to new markets.
Audience Reactions and Results
During the event, our booth welcomed dozens of qualified leads and generated valuable connections with brokers, investment agencies, and end buyers. Our sales team is already following up on the opportunities that emerged during the expo.
Some of the most common reactions from attendees were:
- “I didn’t know Puerto Morelos was so close to Cancun.”
- “These prices are very attractive for a project of this quality!”
- “I’m interested in investing in a warm place with good returns.”
