Written by Del Mar Los Cabos | October 11, 2024

As environmental issues come to the fore within the construction industry, a greater demand for homes with sustainable design exists. This is especially true in the luxury property market, where homeowners seek energy-efficient integrations like solar power, smart temperature controls, and natural lighting.  

If you’re among the growing number of homeowners looking for premium, sustainable homes, Del Mar Los Cabos is the place for you.  

Our communities boast a range of innovative homes designed for those who wish to make a positive environmental impact without compromising style and luxury.  Learn more about our luxury real estate in Cabo and discover why it’s the gold standard for sustainable home design and community development.  

Sustainable Vision: A Commitment to Legacy and Future Generations  

At Del Mar, we’ve taken a long-term approach to housing and community development. We embrace our environmental responsibility by updating our original homes to incorporate energy efficiency with eco-friendly materials and building new ones with sustainability at our core. Our homes are the essence of luxury, becoming investments not only for the homeowners who buy them but for the future.  

We approach the home design process in a way that takes advantage of Los Cabos’s natural topography and climate. By designing our residences based on the area’s terrain, sun exposure, and wind patterns, we’ve become leaders in efficient and green building design, creating living spaces that are naturally in sync with Los Cabos.  

Sustainable Construction Practices and Design 

We’ve integrated various sustainable design principles and renewable energy additions into our newer Los Cabos homes — among them is solar energy and battery integration. With more than 300 sunny days a year, using solar power and batteries for energy storage is essential. Energy efficiency also ensures electricity when needed, especially in case of inclement weather.  

Despite the infinite ocean views, limited fresh water is the risk of living in the Baja California Sur desert, so water waste is one of the fundamental issues we want to eliminate. To this end, our Del Mar communities implement water-wise landscaping. Not only has this resulted in a 70% decrease in wasted water, but it has also had a positive effect on the area’s natural flora. Our long-term plans include constructing desalinization plants to supplement our water supply directly from the Sea of Cortez to reduce dependency on the area's natural resources. 

We also practice sustainable landscaping practices like reintroducing plant life during house construction. The results are homes that co-exist with the area’s local flora.  

Sustainable Architecture and Home Features  

Sustainable inside and out, each Del Mar villa is an example of innovative architecture and home design.  

First, we’ve enhanced airflow by orienting the home for the natural breeze patterns within the Palmilla enclave. Zoned central air systems refine temperature control and cooling for decreased energy consumption. These systems can be run whenever necessary and provide essential cooling using natural airflow.  

Other features for reducing your carbon footprint include energy-efficient appliances and LED lighting. The lights are controlled by Lutron light-dimming systems to prevent energy leaks.  

Supporting Local Communities and Reducing Environmental Impact  

Luxury real estate in Cabo wouldn’t be possible without help from the local community. To this point, we use as many locally sourced sustainable materials as possible to bolster the local economy and minimize carbon use and expenses incurred from transportation. We also support community charities like the Red Cross and the Boys and Girls Club of Los Cabos, among others, to give the community more resources for health and education.  

Local tourism is also enhanced with every sustainable home and rental property we construct. From the beginning, we designed our communities to harmonize with Los Cabos’s ecosystem, resulting in minimal impact on the area’s ecological health.  

As we lead the way in environmentally responsible luxury real estate in Cabo, we ensure that future generations can enjoy the area’s biodiversity and unbridled scenery.  

Del Mar’s Role as a Community Steward  

At Del Mar, we believe there’s more to luxury real estate than prioritizing comfort. As community stewards, we ensure that social responsibility and environmental conservancy lie at the heart of our housing developments. This is why we adhere to strict environmental standards and sustainable practices and partner with local authorities to bolster compliance.  

As a home and waypoint for many species, sea turtle conservation is close to our hearts. It is a vital initiative in Los Cabos, protecting endangered sea turtle species, including the Olive Ridley, Leatherback, and Loggerhead turtles, which nest within the pristine beaches of Del Mar. Local conservation groups and our resident ecologist work together to safeguard nesting sites, protect hatchlings, and educate people about preserving these magnificent creatures and our duty to the environment, ensuring that future generations can enjoy and protect this natural heritage.
