The Development is sold out please contact Mike for the Latest HEVA development On the edge of Banderas Bay there is a magical place called “Conchas Chinas”.  Where the sun reflects emotions of peace and tranquility. We invite you to discover Luxury at V Conchas Chinas by HEVA Select Builders. The prestigious colony of Conchas Chinas received its name from the “Curly Shells” commonly found on its pristine, white-sandy beaches. The local residents refer to Conchas Chinas as “The Beverly Hills of Puerto Vallarta” with multimillion dollar hillside villas dotting the cliffs.  V Conchas Chinas is the perfect combination of the serene, quiet-rolling waves and the romantic heartbeat of Puerto Vallarta. Just a short stroll down the beach nightlife, gourmet restaurants, art galleries and shopping can be easily found. Located at the water’s edge you will find a state-of-the-art, new construction development comprising of only 24 world-class, boutique condominium homes. There are not many locations like this in the world; we invite you to discover the luxury of our beloved V Conchas Chinas. We have significantly reduced the cost of the HOA dues by installing a state-of-the-art solar heating system to heat our luxury swimming pool year round. At our previous projects, where a gas heating system was in place, we were in the practice of turning off the heating system during the summer months discovering a 75% reduction in gas consumption for the entire building. This project’s innovative and environmentally friendly solar heating system will further reduce HOA dues. We still have the gas heating system for backup heat during the cold season. We have opted for a saltwater pool cleansing system that has the capability of producing natural chlorine – as opposed to the store-bought chemical. The natural chlorine produced from the cleaning process is known to have a positive pH balance and is gentle and non-irritating to the skin and eyes. All doors and cabinets are custom made of a solid Peruvian cedar called “Tornillo.” Not only is the Peruvian cedar a handsome look it is also resistant to wood eating bugs and has a solid composition. All of the hardware for the cabinets and drawers are Hettich brand. The German made Hettich brand exhibits outstanding adjustment techniques and hinges that are integrated with damping – an enhancement resulting in a smooth, cushioned and quiet closure. We have instilled Hans Grohe faucets and showers finishes, marble bath counter tops and showers, granite kitchen counters, stainless steel appliances and PVC windows with tinted glass throughout the unit. In addition all bedrooms are equipped with remote control ceiling fans.

Organic International menu including healthy burgers, frittatas, omelets, chilaquiles, and wood-oven pizzas like Margarita or Hawaiian.
