The maintenance of the housing complex will be paid for by the tenants themselves, who must form a condominium association.

In addition, the unit will have a Point of Innovation, Freedom, Arts, Education and Knowledge (PILARES) for the benefit of more than 600 people who will live on that site.

Peña Collazo pointed out that a similar project will be built in the Atlampa neighborhood, Cuauhtémoc mayor's office, on a property that was donated by Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) to the city government for 250 families that today live in nine informal camps such as the one in the "city Lost” of Tacubaya.
