Real estate development · Puerto Vallarta, México
SIKID is a real estate development company based in Puerto Vallarta, México. Intentional residential projects, built to last, built to be lived in.
What we do
We are real estate developers. Every project we start is one we would want to live in ourselves. We work meticulously by choice: deep knowledge of the site, the neighborhood, and the people who will live there.
Architecture, materials, light, proportion. These aren't afterthoughts. They're the project.

S·IKI·D
The name tells the story: the initials of our two founders wrapped around Ikigai, the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be rewarded for. It's the why behind every decision we make. We don't build to fill inventory. We build because where and how people live matters.

SIKID
Purpose-driven real estate development
Co-founder · Finance & Capital
Santiago's background is in structured finance. Prior to co-founding SIKID, he served as a close operational partner to the CEO of a Washington D.C. area financial services firm, where he developed deep experience in deal structuring, financial analysis, and the operational discipline required to manage complex transactions at scale.
Working at the executive level of a specialized financial operation gave Santiago a rigorous understanding of how capital moves, how risk is structured, and what it takes to build a financially sound operation from the ground up. Those skills followed him directly into real estate: as a closing coordinator at a Puerto Vallarta agency he managed the final stage of residential transactions, from document compliance and title review to guiding deals smoothly to the closing table.
At SIKID, Santiago leads the financial planning, deal structuring, and investor relations behind Alva Residences. He brings the full arc of his experience: the analytical rigor of structured finance, the transactional discipline of real estate closings, and the conviction that a well-structured deal is the foundation of a well-built building.
Co-founder · Operations & Technology
David brings an unusual combination of disciplines to real estate development: six years of hands-on pre-construction experience in one of Mexico's most active tourist markets, layered on top of a background in enterprise infrastructure and field engineering.
Before co-founding SIKID, David spent nearly four years as a Field Engineer at Dell Technologies, servicing enterprise clients across the Bahía de Banderas and into Guadalajara: data center audits, server infrastructure deployments, and multi-site SLA management for major hospitality groups. Over six years at Boardwalk Realty he then became the operational engine behind multiple pre-construction residential projects in Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit, spanning marketing strategy, project websites, 3D renders, virtual reality experiences, construction monitoring, and client communications.
Beyond the commercial side, he built and maintained the company's internal technology infrastructure, from network design and fiber systems to proprietary tools that improved deal flow and operations. At SIKID, David leads the operational, technological, and structural coordination of Alva Residences, ensuring the project is organized, documented, and executed to the same standard it was designed.
