Mandarin Oriental Residences Kanai, Riviera Maya

Planned

The residences

The name licensed to this project and carried on the building. A brand is not a company: it holds no title, builds nothing and runs nothing.: Mandarin Oriental
The business the brand comes from — hotel, fashion, design, automotive, restaurant, club, or a developer’s own name.: Hotel
The larger planned community, resort or named development this project sits inside. A standalone building sits in none.: Kanai
How many separately titled homes this project sells, counting every kind it sells. Where it sells more than one kind, each is named and its own count given.: 49
The kinds of home offered — villas, condos, penthouses, lots — and how they break down. Not how many, and not what interest is sold.: 3–7BR beachfront homes with a resident-only beach club
Whether a hotel shares the site, the building is mixed-use, or it is residences only.: Hotel on site
When the project was first made public.: 24 Sep 2024
When its residences were first released for sale.: The brand release, the project site and the June 2026 first-look were each read; none states that residential sales have opened or on what date.
When ground was broken on the site.: No opened page states when construction began; the June 2026 first-look still speaks only of a 2028 opening.
Every handover date the project has been given, oldest first.: 2028
When the residences were handed over to buyers.: Every opened page places the opening in the future; none records a handover.
