Overview

• The Juzgado Octavo de Distrito directed Profepa to carry out the physical teardown and environmental restoration itself, prohibiting delegation to the developer.
• The ruling compels authorities to enforce economic penalties on Desarrollos Tulum Dieciséis and to pursue the related environmental crimes complaint before the FGR.
• Profepa had determined in June 2024 that the project damaged 731.80 square meters of coastal dune, and Semarnat had denied the requested environmental impact authorization.
• La Jornada reports the order sets a maximum of 35 business days for demolition once Profepa is notified, with a 10‑day window for potential appeal.
• The structure—seven stories with 24 units on a roughly 730‑square‑meter lot in Bahía Solimán—sits by the Xcacel‑Xcacelito turtle sanctuary, and the case marks DMAS’s second similar amparo win in Tulum.
