First light through the chuluul trees. Cholul takes its name from the water-wood tree that defines the village — and the residents who came for the village character of the northern band walk the streets where the trees have always been the anchor.
Cholul is one of the twelve commissariats of the Mérida municipality — the second comisaría in size after Caucel, a village that has kept its town designation while the city's growth absorbed the surrounding blocks. The name comes from a tree (Apoplanesia paniculata) called 'Water Wood' — chosen for the way the wood resists humidity. The neighborhood pairs proximity to downtown Mérida (fifteen minutes by car) with a five-minute drive to the Altabrisa shopping mall and the wider Cholul-Conkal corridor of new residential development. The corridor sits among the highest concentrations of new builds in Mérida for 2026, alongside Temozón Norte, Conkal, Dzityá, and Komchén. Cholul reads as the part of Mérida the residents who came for the village character of the northern band, with the modern residential infrastructure attached, chose deliberately.
Inside Huna, the project reads as a residential condominium scaled for the corridor — drawn around the Yucateco light. Each residence spans 592 to 753 square feet — studio through one-bedroom layouts, balcony space drawn for actual outdoor living, full-height openings, kitchens drawn for someone who actually cooks rather than reheats. The materials are honest — wood, limestone, glass — and the building's density was kept residential rather than commercial.
Delivery in 2027. Entry pricing at $1,400,000 MXN. Huna sits in Cholul at the most accessible entry point on the corridor — for the first-time buyer in Mérida, for the buyer who came for the village character of the northern band. For the buyer entering the market at the studio scale ready to settle inside Cholul, this is one of the most accessible addresses in the neighborhood.
Cholul sits northeast of Mérida city proper, a rapidly growing semi-rural district that has become popular with families building custom homes and residential developers launching gated communities. The area balances Yucatecan village character with modern growth — markets, small restaurants, schools. Lot prices remain more accessible than Norte Mérida, making it attractive for buyers seeking larger properties at lower cost, with the tradeoff of being ~20 minutes from Mérida's core.
