Pizá Golf Announces Progress at the Master-Planned Community, Zitara.

            

 Pizá Golf is proud to share significant updates on the progress of Zitara Ciudad Residencial and Golf Club, the groundbreaking 200-hectare master-planned community in Aguascalientes. The community and its championship golf course were meticulously planned and designed by the esteemed golf course designer and architect, Agustín Pizá. Zitara continues to take shape as a benchmark for integrated design, luxury lifestyle, and sustainable planning.

As summer unfolds, construction progress at Zitara reflects an exciting phase of architectural and landscape progress. Elegant cobblestone roadways and premium paving now define the internal pathways, while perimeter walls constructed from natural rolita stone lend a timeless sophistication to the grounds. Mature olive trees, alongside native species such as live oaks and mesquites, are being thoughtfully integrated to create a rich, living landscape. Together, these elements are not only elevating the visual identity of the property but also establishing a foundation for a community defined by harmony, intention, and enduring beauty.

“Seeing Zitara evolve from concept to reality is deeply fulfilling,” said Agustín Pizá. “I’ve approached this project holistically. Every walkway, every planting, and every view has been intentionally crafted to support the lifestyle we are building. This is more than a golf community. It is a sanctuary of design, wellness, and culture.”

At the heart of Zitara’s 200-hectare master plan is the championship golf course where native vegetation and meticulously maintained greenscapes come together to create a natural extension of daily life. With over half the development dedicated to green space, the course is more than a sporting venue, it’s a living corridor that connects residents to nature, wellness, and community.

Surrounding residential enclaves, including the Itzá and Cuzamá neighborhoods, continue to advance. Perimeter walls have been completed, landscaping is underway, and foundational infrastructure has been laid to support the next phases of development. In parallel, progress on the Zitara Sports Club infrastructure is moving forward, setting the stage for future amenities including a gym, pool, restaurant, and wellness-focused recreational spaces.

With half of its land dedicated to green space, Zitara represents a forward-thinking model for environmentally conscious development. Treated water systems will irrigate the golf course and surrounding grounds, preserving resources while enhancing the natural beauty of the site.

Zitara Ciudad Residencial and Golf Club is redefining the standard for golf-centered living in Mexico. Guided by Agustín Pizá’s architectural leadership and signature approach to experiential design, this development stands as a model of how sport, sustainability, and sophistication can come together to shape a community unlike any other.
