Late afternoon at Chicxulub Puerto. The eastern end of the Progreso Malecón corridor thins into the quieter residential stretch that runs toward Uaymitún, and Chicxulub itself sits at the pier that anchors this section of the coast. The town's name is famous geologically as the impact site that ended the Cretaceous, but on the ground reads as the quieter cousin of Progreso — same walkable urban density, less cruise-day traffic, and a beach that opens wider than the Malecón strip.
Chicxulub Puerto sits directly east of Progreso, ten minutes along the coastal road. The zone shares Progreso's walkable coastal-urban fabric — restaurants, beach clubs, and residential inventory in close proximity — but at lower density and quieter rhythm. Dorada occupies a beachfront lot in the eastern stretch, 60 meters from the sand, with commercial spaces at ground floor providing walkable services below the residential tower.
Inside Dorada, the architecture takes the corridor at mid-tower scale. Two connected towers of 10 levels each, with 88 residences distributed from level 1 upward and ground-floor retail below. Six layouts run from Dorada 1 (65 m², 2 bedrooms) through Dorada 6 (137 m², 4 bedrooms). The showcased Dorada 1 configuration spans 65 square meters (approximately 700 square feet) — 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 parking space. Amenity plan includes a full-length pool, kids pool, sky bar at height, ground pool bar, dry bar, grill area, kids club, fire pit, hammock zone, and 24/7 security.
Pre-sale with delivery scheduled for December 2026. Pricing at $3,320,000 MXN for Dorada 1 (entry 2-bedroom), scaling through $6,500,000–$6,920,000 MXN for the 3-bedroom configurations and reaching $7,670,000 MXN for the 4-bedroom Dorada 6. For the buyer looking at Chicxulub Puerto at accessible tower-format entry price points, and specifically for the beach-adjacent building with a commercial floor at street level, Dorada is one of the more directly-priced pre-sale options currently on the corridor.
Chicxulub Puerto is a small coastal village on the Yucatán's Gulf coast, 5 km east of Progreso. Historically a fishing village (and famous for the asteroid impact crater offshore), it has emerged in recent years as a residential alternative to Progreso — quieter beach, smaller-scale builds, and a real Yucatecan town character. Real estate here is typically beach-front condos or single-family casas at 20-30% discounts to Progreso central inventory.
We find Dorada interesting for a specific type of buyer: someone looking at Chicxulub Puerto at accessible tower-format entry price ($3.3M MXN for the 2-bedroom Dorada 1 is genuinely direct pricing on the corridor). Six unit configurations across the two connected towers gives you a wide range of format options — from the entry 65 m² 2-bedroom to the 137 m² 4-bedroom top-tier. The commercial ground floor is worth calling out: retail at the base of the building means you have walkable services directly below your residence, which is deliberate design and not always the norm on the corridor. The honest consideration: 88 residences on a two-tower site is genuinely high-density for the Yucatán coast — neighbor count is substantially higher than the boutique buildings east of here (Boga, Mangata, Mar de Miel). If your framing is coastal residence at boutique scale, the mid-corridor pockets suit better. If your framing is accessible entry into the walkable Chicxulub Puerto zone with the amenity floor of a mid-scale tower, Dorada is one of the more directly-priced pre-sale options on the corridor.
