Construction Begins on Industrial Building in Las Américas Park, Coahuila

Carlos Delgado López, the owner of the industrial park, stated that the project will cover a land area of 20,000 square meters. During the groundbreaking ceremony, he revealed that 13,000 square meters will be exclusively dedicated to the warehouse. "This construction is expected to take approximately nine months. Although it is not yet rented, it will be offered to US companies, with a capacity that could reach a thousand jobs," he added. Currently, Las Américas Industrial Park, situated on the Mieleras highway, houses 17 plants and operates at full capacity, with a hundred percent occupancy.

Opportunities for Coahuila's industrial sector. According to Delgado López, the La Laguna region has favorable conditions to attract both national and foreign investments. However, the lack of existing industrial warehouses limits the promotion of the city. The businessman affirmed that foreign companies prefer to rent industrial warehouses instead of building them, emphasizing the urgency for regional development. "There are land options within the urban area that represent a great opportunity for any industry. There are already neighboring neighborhoods that could provide labor," he pointed out. As an example, he highlighted the recent construction of a warehouse worth 120 million pesos in the La Amistad neighborhood. 

"However, these lands often cost up to two thousand pesos per square meter, which increases the construction cost for local investors," he noted. Delgado revealed the need for additional plants and industrial parks in Torreón, which would provide employment opportunities for the younger population. "People are graduating well-prepared from schools. We have to provide them with jobs and alternatives to encourage them to stay in Torreón," he concluded.
