The Residences at St. Regis 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.
St. Regis
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
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.
Kanai's own St. Regis page and its master-plan home page were each read; both list the residences as "Coming Soon" and neither states when they were announced. A search of St. Regis and Kanai releases surfaced no residential launch release.
When its residences were first released for sale.
Kanai's St. Regis page shows the residences as "Coming Soon" with no sales date, and no other opened page names one.
When ground was broken on the site.
No opened page states when construction began on the residences; the resort itself is already operating.
When the residences were handed over to buyers.
Kanai's own pages carry no residential dates of any kind — the only years on the St. Regis page are award years and an events calendar running to April 2025.

Who is behind it

Marriott International
The party that promotes the project and carries it through to delivery. May also hold title to part of it — being one does not make it the other.

Do the St. Regis Residences at Kanai exist as a launched product, and how many are there?

Projects
  • Listed by the master planKanai's own site lists "The Residences at St. Regis Kanai, Riviera Maya" with the status Coming Soon, alongside the operating 124-key St. Regis Kanai Resort.source ↗
  • Nothing else is publishedNo launch release, unit count, price or delivery date was found. Ownership is inherited from Kanai master-plan sourcing rather than a project-specific source. The record is kept so the project is not lost, and the thinness is published rather than the record dropped.
