Designed around the way you want to live.

Ki (pronounced “kee”) means tree in Japanese, symbolising strength, growth and a connection to nature. Inspired by this philosophy, Ki Residences brings together Japanese simplicity and Scandinavian warmth to create a more balanced way of living.

Natural wood, textured finishes, soft neutral tones and abundant natural light create interiors that feel warm, open and inviting. Every condo features a private balcony and thoughtfully planned spaces that bring comfort and functionality into everyday life.

The kind of town people come to for a week and stay for years.

Playa del Carmen sits on Mexico's Caribbean coast, between Cancún and Tulum, with white sand, turquoise water and 300 days of sun. What keeps people here is the life around the beach: morning breathwork on the sand, coffee on a quiet street, cenotes hidden in the jungle 20 minutes away, and a growing community from around the world.

Built by WHITEBOX. The developer you can actually meet.

The two founders of WHITEBOX, the developer of Ki Residences

WHITEBOX was founded on a shared belief that Playa del Carmen deserved a more thoughtful approach to real estate development.

What began as a law firm has grown into an integrated property development company, bringing together architecture, construction, legal expertise and property management under one roof.

Our first development, Luna Residences, is now a reality. Buyers can visit the building, experience the quality of our work and meet the people behind it.

At WHITEBOX, we believe in building lasting relationships with our clients. From your first conversation and throughout the purchasing process to the day you receive your keys and beyond, our team remains directly involved.

From first conversation to keys in hand.

Buying a property during pre-sale is a significant decision, especially when purchasing from abroad. At WHITEBOX, we make the process clear and straightforward, with personal guidance, transparent information and a dedicated team supporting you every step of the way.

  1. 01

    Let's get to know each other.

    Your journey begins with a personal conversation with our development team. We'll walk you through the available residences, floor plans, pricing and project details, giving you the information you need to make a confident decision.

  2. 02

    Legal guidance from the start.

    Our in-house legal team guides you through the purchasing process in Mexico, from reviewing the documentation and understanding your obligations to signing your purchase agreement.

  3. 03

    A payment plan designed around construction.

    Secure your residence with a 30% initial payment, followed by 40% during construction and the remaining 30% upon delivery. Your payments are spread across the development timeline, giving you time to plan ahead.

  4. 04

    Stay connected as your home takes shape.

    Follow the progress of your future home with regular construction updates and direct communication with our team. You'll know who to contact, what milestones are coming up and how your residence is progressing.

  5. 05

    Our relationship continues beyond handover.

    Receiving your keys is just the beginning. Our property management team remains available to support you with building operations and ongoing property management services, so you can enjoy your home with greater peace of mind.

A 30% deposit secures your residence, 40% is paid during construction and 30% on delivery. Payments are spread across the construction timeline.

What rental income can I expect?
