Mexico Real Estate
Commercial real estate in Mexico is seeing a surge of investor interest as more and more companies relocate their supply chains out of Asia and closer to the US. A Prologis executive says the land for its planned Monterrey industrial park is located in one of the “most attractive” regions of Mexico.
More Investments Planned
Prologis said it will invest US$75M in land acquisitions in Mexico this year, according to reporting by Bloomberg. According to a recent study by Mexico’s leading technology institute, the Mexico states of Nuevo Leon, Chihuahua, Baja California, Coahuila, Tamaulipas, Jalisco, Queretaro and Guanajuato are proving the most attractive to investors.
