Malecon Construction and Financing: What We Know and What We Don’t Know

Wednesday, August 10 2011 19:41

Regarding the ongoing construction of the new Malecon, we have been assured that it is being completed in a professional manner, in accordance with all specifications, in a timely fashion, will improve the image of the town and conserve the traditions of Puerto Vallarta. In a local newspaper interview, the President of Geminis Internacional Constructora, S.A. de C.V., Victor Zayas Riquelme states that the Malecon will last 100 years. Since I don’t plan to be around at the end of this time to confirm his claim, perhaps we can take a look at some other projects his company has done in Vallarta. After all, we are now 3 months into construction with only 1 month remaining before the stated completion date and… no plans yet.

What’s the point of a Malecon?

The new Malecon in Puerto Vallarta has been under construction since May 16 and is scheduled to be completed by September 15. That means we are half way there, or are we?The local College of Engineers and Architects and even the Consultive Council on Public Works has not received plans of the construction. So, all the engineers/architects of Puerto Vallarta and the public really know about the project is from the artist’s computer rendition that appears at various locations in the city.
