In a city where the real estate boom has redefined the urban and social landscape, Artesanto, a development located in the Corazón District, the new economic hub of San Miguel de Allende, proposes a different path focused on a growth model that integrates, not displaces; that strengthens, not replaces, local identity.
San Miguel de Allende is today one of the most important tourist and real estate investment destinations in the country. According to data from the INEGI (National Institute of Statistics and Geography), more than 11% of the municipality’s homes are for temporary or vacation use.
Given this scenario, Artesanto presents itself as a cutting-edge alternative, with the mission of offering urban design, prioritizing the hiring of regional labor, the use of local materials, and the generation of employment, identity, and permanence, to promote truly sustainable development.
The development is also linked to a circular economy, by promoting regional value chains, pedestrian mobility, and responsible consumption. This not only reduces the project’s ecological footprint, but also keeps local crafts and productive culture active.
Distrito Corazón is committed to the creative economy and conscious consumption as drivers of community development.
Far from reproducing urban models foreign to San Miguel, Artesanto integrates itself into the urban fabric with respect for the heritage environment, integrating elements of vernacular architecture such as interior courtyards, stone walls, high ceilings, and natural materials. Furthermore, it does so with a vision of housing that generates community, belonging, and historical continuity.
In a context where many developments are moving away from the urban center or constructing bubbles disconnected from local reality, Artesanto is committed to the opposite: a strategic location in the heart of the city, connected to its cultural, economic, and social dynamics.
Artesanto is part of Distrito Corazón, an area conceived to become the new hub of organized urban development, where art, gastronomy, fair trade, and sustainable housing coexist. This comprehensive vision seeks to rebalance San Miguel’s real estate offering, generating added value with social and environmental responsibility.
Beyond its prime location, Artesanto represents a vision of the future that is urgent today: develop without displacing, invest without exclusion, and build respecting our roots. At a time when real estate investment often prioritizes profitability over social impact, this project opens up a possible and replicable path.
