In June 2014, the Inbursa Aquarium, the largest in the Mexican Republic, opened.[24]​.

This development has been questioned given that a large increase in the already complicated traffic in the area is estimated, given the narrowness of its roads, the lack of parking and the economic and social contrast of the luxurious commercial areas of Polanco, with the surrounding low-income areas such as Colonia Pensil.[25]​.

In October 2013, SEDUVI announced a stoppage of further development until there was a plan to put in infrastructure such as sidewalks, drainage, etc. On that date, Nuevo Polanco had 76,000 inhabitants, twice the expected number, and there were 23,469 residential units.[9]​ The Mexican real estate project has become an example in the international press of how urban development can fail when there is no planning for infrastructure.[10]​.
