Despite the fact that the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) did not favor him with a resolution to change land use, the developer of the Adamar Solimán condominium in Tulum continues with the construction of the building.
The civil organization Defending the Right to a Healthy Environment (Dmas), denounced in two videos this Monday, that the construction of the building in a sea turtle nesting area, near Xcacel Xcacelito, continues.
According to photographic and video evidence, dated November 11, 2024, work on Tanka IV, in front of Solimán Bay, in the municipality of Tulum, continues normally.
In the materials on display, you can see how the bricklayers assemble the structure of a seven-story building, called Adamar Solimán, according to real estate publications on social networks.
A month ago, Semarnat announced that the project was not granted federal permits for land use change in order to carry out the construction.
According to the follow-up of the case, reported by local residents, environmentalists and the Dmas organization, the construction of the building began without permits from the three levels of government in November 2023, more than a year ago.
It was then that legal remedies began to be promoted, from complaints to amparo trials, which forced the developer to stop the work at various times throughout 2024, although these orders were ignored.
After a closure applied by the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (Profepa), the agency asked the individual to submit an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for evaluation.
The document was entered in July, according to the Gaceta Ecológica, in the name of the commercial company Desarrollos Tulum Dieciséis, as developer.
On October 9, the agency issued a resolution stating that the project “does not apply,” meaning that the construction of the building was not authorized.
But the company has refused to comply with the resolution, as Dmas demonstrated on Monday, and is preparing further legal action to protect the site, where sea turtles constantly arrive to lay their eggs.
