The project was developed for ALSEA Mexico, as part of a new mixed-use commercial complex anchored by Chedraui Selecto, one of Mexico’s premium supermarket formats. The development integrates several commercial suites designed to host high-profile tenants, with Starbucks serving as one of the main attractions within the complex.

Located along the Transpeninsular Highway, one of the main access routes to Cabo San Lucas, this project benefits from high visibility and accessibility for both locals and tourists. The surrounding area is characterized by upscale commercial development and proximity to residential and hospitality zones, making it a strategic site for Starbucks’ market presence.
