15 minutes from Santa Fe, in Mexico City, lies the future of interaction between people and nature, a project that today you can discover and experience for yourself. Reserva Santa Fe is more than a real estate project, it is a statement of intent of how humanity should begin to experience livability today. Discover below the keys to understanding Reserva Santa Fe: the future of sustainable and sustainable real estate in Mexico.
Before continuing with the experience of visiting Reserva Santa Fe, let's define these two qualities sustainability and sustainability: the word sustainable refers to the verb to sustain, and can be interpreted as to preserve something in its being or state. On the other hand, sustainability is a concept that in recent decades has been coined to natural conservation, mainly in ecology and economics, and refers to something that can be maintained for a long time without depleting resources or causing serious damage to the environment.
The Reserva Santa Fe project has special characteristics that allow it to maintain its status as a natural reserve and, at the same time, it is capable of providing and generating vital resources such as water and energy.
Armando Turrent, Project Director, shared with us that this wooded area located between Mexico City and the city of Toluca, has climatic and natural qualities that make it the largest green lung available to the people of Mexico City.
The climatic and natural conditions in Reserva Santa Fe have managed to preserve and allow the development of natural species like nowhere else in Mexico. Here you will find more than 270 species of fungi (of which 40 are edible), 31 types of trees, 20 mammals, 923 birds, 19 reptiles and amphibians, 4 natural reservoir lakes connected to the ground water table and more than 110 hectares of forest with recreational parks and pedestrian paths for the whole family to enjoy.
In its more than 25 km of pedestrian trails, the residents of Reserva Santa Fe have the opportunity to walk along the trails in bicycle or on foot. In addition, they will be able to practice soccer, tennis and paddle tennis. on the courts designated for this purpose. In the forest there are also hanging bridges, zip lines, ideal meditation points that allow you to find yourself in the middle of nature, a star observatory, farm, nursery. You will find more than 60 amenities to live unique moments.
In addition to being concerned about generating a positive footprint for the environment, Reserva Santa Fe and the team in charge of the project have made it a priority to respect the communities that for centuries have found here a space for spiritual connection.
The land is located within the Otomí-Mexica corridor, a space that takes on a special mysticism thanks to the flora and fauna that has thrived here over time. In this scenario, Armando Turrent also shared with us that they have achieved an important alliance for the preservation of the area and the passage in perpetuity to the communities in the area.
The architectural proposal at Reserva Santa Fe is a new way to redefine the meaning of luxury. During the tour to the most representative points of the development, you will understand that you have not experienced silence like in this place in a long time. Here the prevailing sounds are the sounds of birds such as woodpeckers and transvolcanic quail, the whistling of the air as you walk through the treetops, your own footsteps and little else. You will undoubtedly be impressed in this space, even more if you consider that it is located 15 minutes away from Santa Fe and all the city rhythm that characterizes this part of the city.
The vision and mission of the project is to maintain over time the commitment to the native peoples and the preservation of nature. Achieving a balance between people, flora and fauna, between habitability and preservation of the ecosystem is fundamental to re-learn to live with our environment. This is the only way to leave a better future for the next generations.
The construction permits at Reserva Santa Fe initially allowed for up to 2000 families, however, Turrent and his team have decided to limit this number to only 500 exclusive spaces. This decision has been made so that the inhabitants can truly coexist with nature and not affect the ecosystem of the area.
In addition, Reserva Santa Fe will become the only real estate project with a positive ecological footprint, and seeks to obtain the Living Community Challenge certification from the Living Future Institute: an important recognition obtained by accrediting a rigorous evaluation in terms of sustainable construction and demonstrating that the buildings are regenerative and self-sufficient. To achieve this, the Reserve must comply with 7 fundamental pillars: water, beauty, energy, equity, happiness, place and materials.
The Director of the Reserva Santa Fe Project, Armando Turrent, and his team at DECO, have worked for many years to make this place a reality.
The horizontal villas in Reserva Santa Fe are the responsibility of Taller ADG, led by Alonso de Garay. Previously we conducted an interview with this incredible reference of Mexican architecture worldwide, find out more about him at Building a legacy: interview with Alonso de Garay.
The project also integrates strategic allies such as HEMAA, Forestal Milenio, Mario Schjetnan - GDU and many other talents that make possible the development of the project under the established guidelines.

One of the main attractions for future residents of Reserva Santa Fe is the sense of community and belonging that will be achieved in this exclusive natural ecosystem. It is important for residents to be aware of the privilege and commitment of living in a natural reserve, and to share values not only among neighbors, but also with the surrounding communities.
Reserva Santa Fe is committed to becoming a recreational space of the wellness culture; that is, to privilege mental and physical well-being to improve the health and quality of life of its residents. This high quality of life is possible only in the complicity of people with mental states beyond the physical and mental, also the spiritual and social. In this aspect, meeting and relaxation points such as El Caracol and El Santuario stand out ; the latter was thought as an ecumenical space, where all people, regardless of their religion, could approach to appreciate the details of its construction.
Armando Turrent reports that the Sanctuary was elaborated at the request of the communities surrounding the Reserve, and the plans were provided by them. Something very interesting about this is that the temple possesses golden properties. The elements achieve the Fibonacci sequence, an ordering phenomenon that is repeated in structures such as DNA and is repeated throughout nature.
Reserva Santa Fe places special emphasis on people's mobility. Here no one will ever be left with the desire to explore and experience nature as the rest of the people do. That is why among its facilities you will find perfectly installed suspension bridges, ramps in strategic places and walkable paths. In this way Reserva Santa Fe achieves universal accessibility and maintains its commitment to social equity.
The town of Salazar is today the entrance to the Reserve, and it is a traditional place full of culture, where its inhabitants charm with their warmth and dedication in each of their economic activities. In addition, there are plans to further promote the town's economic development with private investment and to turn this community into a destination for residents of Reserva Santa Fe, where they can shop and enjoy entertainment.

For years, to talk about investing in CDMX was to talk about opportunities. Today, more and more, it means talking about strategy and decisions with real and tangible results in a market that is constantly evolving. The city's real estate market did not stop, but it did change pace: it stopped rewarding intuition and began to demand a reading of context, understanding of the product and clarity about the moment of the cycle. Right now, in 2026, it is no longer just a matter of "investing" or "entering" CDMX, but of knowing where, how and under what logic to do so. Because the city is not growing uniformly: some areas are consolidating as stable and liquid investments, while others are beginning to reconfigure and deserve strategic attention, not impulsive bets. CDMX heading into the future: what is really driving the market? Real estate investment in Mexico City is not experiencing an isolated boom; rather, buyers are now facing an urban reorganization. Demand is increasingly concentrated in well-connected areas, with services, access to employment and real rental capacity. At the same time, the city is pushing towards verticalization, densification and the development of projects that are more efficient in size, operation and maintenance. Added to this are external factors that put pressure on demand: labor mobility, the arrival of foreign capital, international events, which results in a more informed consumer who compares, questions and prioritizes liquidity, so the market is transformed, becoming less emotional and more selective. How to read capital gains in 2026 so as not to confuse luck with strategy. Talking about capital gains without context is one of the most common mistakes when evaluating an investment. In 2026, the capital gain in CDMX is not only explained by "fashion", but by infrastructure, services, perception of safety, connectivity and urban narrative. And above all, by verifiable data that separates speculation from real growth. The analysis of the real estate market between 2023 and 2025 reveals a clear phenomenon: Mexico City is experiencing a reorganization of its demand, where consolidated premium areas maintain stability and high prices, while emerging neighborhoods capture the flow of capital displaced by the rising prices of traditional centers.
