Here, tenants that generate stable long-term rents converge, adding an element of stability and sustained growth prospects. Among these tenants are government agencies and non-profit organizations, occupying 41% of the existing corporate space, as well as FIRE (Finance, Insurance, Real Estate, Legal) companies, which occupy 26%.

On Insurgentes Avenue, within the Alvaro Obregon borough, there are significant real estate developments like Torre Manacar, which, in the summer of 2017, added 22 floors with approximately 47,000 square meters of GLA to Mexico City's office market, along with five commercial levels and two mixed-use levels.
