How does Vinte distinguish itself from other real estate developers in the country?

At Vinte, our approach to real estate transcends conventional development models. Our product isn’t merely about property; it’s about fostering communities. We offer a trifecta of products: the physical property with customized segments and mortgage solutions, a community aspect that integrates residents and uplifts their assets, and a comprehensive support system encompassing guarantees, maintenance, and conservation. While most developers focus solely on technical aspects and post-sale services, Vinte places paramount importance on community development. This unique differentiation empowers us to deliver not just a property but an enriched living experience within a developed community. From the inception of Vinte, our founders envisioned providing an innovative product in a competitive market dominated by significant players.

How is Vinte revolutionizing the real estate sector?

Innovation lies at the core of our strategy. Identifying the need for differentiation in an industry brimming with competitors, we have harnessed innovation to pioneer technological advancements in housing, bolster post-sales services, integrate holistic design concepts, and prioritize security. Anticipating the importance of security to our clients years ago, we implemented added values in our offerings. Our endeavor involves not just selling equity but envisioning an elevated lifestyle, embedding technology and service components within our communities. With a comprehensive business chain covering everything from design to construction, each facet is bolstered by a technology platform, enhancing efficiency. Our groundbreaking initiative, “The mind of Vinte,” consolidates operational data, empowering us to tailor solutions by understanding and segmenting client needs effectively. This integration of information enables us to cater to clients with precision and expand our commercial outreach via digital platforms.

How did Vinte leverage digital investments during the pandemic?

Our digital transformation commenced in 2017, preceding the pandemic, enabling us to seamlessly transition our sales operations to digital platforms when COVID-19 struck. Our preparedness allowed us to achieve similar revenue figures in 2020 as in the previous year. Despite the challenges, our operational, commercial, and construction strategies remained robust. While sales areas operated with limited capacity, our digital transformation facilitated remote purchasing experiences. This readiness and adaptability set us apart from competitors who couldn’t offer such streamlined digital services.

What efforts have both private and public sectors made to encourage home ownership in Mexico?

Major mortgage originators like Infonavit, Fovissste, and the banking industry responded actively during this period, introducing dynamic measures to sustain and encourage home ownership. These entities lowered fees, increased product flexibility, and devised more competitive offerings. While some developers leveraged these opportunities, others didn’t, yet the momentum within the sector persisted. Banks, including BBVA and others, engaged in competitive strategies that favored clients and fostered growth in the sector, a trend initiated in 2020 and sustained through 2021.

How is Vinte aligning itself with sustainability and ESG principles?

Our commitment to sustainability and technology within our current projects is exemplified through various initiatives and certifications. We hold ESG ratings and were pioneers in issuing sustainable bonds on the Mexican Stock Exchange, receiving favorable Second Party Opinions from the World Bank in 2018. Rigorous verification of sustainability standards across our homes is conducted by two rating agencies. Moving forward, our focus remains on the fusion of technology and sustainability. Establishing a dedicated sustainability committee, an ethics committee, and an organizational structure reflects our commitment to integrating these pivotal concepts into our operations.
