Clifton Meridian Appoints Renowned U.S. Builder to Lead Development of Luxury Condos in Rocky Point, Mexico

Rocky Point, Mexico (PRWeb) January 17, 2007 -- Clifton Meridian LLC, a real estate development firm focused on upscale residential projects in Mexico, announced today that it has selected Dallas-based The Beck Group as construction manager of La Perla Del Mar, a 15-story luxury, beach-front condominium project leading the redevelopment of the up and coming "Mirador" section of Puerto Peñasco, Mexico.

"We like The Beck Group's innovative approach of integrating architecture, construction and development," says Patrick Clifton, Chairman and CEO of Clifton Meridian. "Beck also has a substantial presence in Mexico, and almost a century of experience delivering high quality buildings."

Having been involved with La Perla since its early design stages, The Beck Group will be responsible for value engineering recommendations, reviewing the site schedule and general project reviews. The Beck Group, a 94-year old full-service builder with more than 600 employees and 10 locations in Mexico, Arizona and Texas, is well known for its integrated approach to project development.

"We are more than just architects and engineers," said Terry Poole, a project manager at The Beck Group. "We are architects who understand construction practices, contractors who understand the nuances of design elements, and developers who can effectively manage a project's cost as the design evolves. This approach helps us to better serve our clients."

The Beck Group's experience in Mexico includes the construction of Motorola's 253,000 sq. ft. manufacturing plant in the Mexican state of Chihuahua; the Bella Sirena Resort in "Rocky Point"; and the 1,263 acre resort and residential development in Chileno Beach in the city of Los Cabos which includes a private marina, two golf courses and 500 homes. Beck has also had substantial experience with large projects in the U.S. including the construction of the 300,000 sq. ft. Airside C Terminal at Tampa International Airport; the 244,000 sq. ft. RadioShack Headquarters in Ft. Worth, Texas that consists of a 37-acre Class A campus with three office buildings; and Villa Verona, a 633,500 sq. ft. luxury residential high-rise project in Dallas, Texas.
"The Beck Group is a premiere builder," said Patrick Clifton. "Their vision and expertise will contribute greatly to the overall luxury and quality of La Perla Del Mar."
