Industrial and Corporate Trends: An Analysis of Strategic Points in Mexico City with Grupo FREL

  • Santa Fe, one of the country's most prominent corporate and commercial regions, and Naucalpan, a high-demand logistics area in Mexico City, are the settings for the development of significant properties that meet current market needs, characterized by the demand for Plug & Play spaces in the corporate sector and last-mile infrastructure in the industrial segment.
  • In this context, Grupo FREL capitalizes on opportunities in both regions, developing properties that align with market trends. Among its highlighted projects is The Summit Santa Fe, which offers modern Plug & Play spaces tailored for hybrid work, and a new industrial facility in Naucalpan, designed to optimize last-mile logistics operations.

Santa Fe is one of the most influential office submarkets in Mexico City and the country. With approximately 1.4 million square meters of corporate space and a significant concentration of Class A+ and A spaces, this area attracts major firms, especially from the financial, real estate, and automotive sectors. Despite its commercial appeal driven by diverse mixed-use and retail properties, this prominent business region has experienced a slow post-pandemic recovery.

According to Alejandro Delgado, Country Manager Mexico at SiiLA, the vacancy rate in Santa Fe (29%) is higher than the average observed in Mexico City (21%). This is partly due to limited gross absorption and the departure of some major tenants, indicating that occupancy fluctuations can significantly impact availability and the overall market dynamics in such a dynamic region dominated by large firms. Nonetheless, Santa Fe remains a magnet for important corporates and ambitious developments, including The Summit Santa Fe by Grupo FREL.

This corporate building, with nearly 52,000 square meters of gross leasable area, stands out for its modern high-quality facilities, cutting-edge technology, efficient architectural layouts, and strategic location on Santa Fe Avenue, opposite La Mexicana Park and behind the Santa Fe Shopping Center.

In an interview with Alejandro Delgado, Alan Rodriguez, Commercial Director of Grupo FREL, noted that The Summit has implemented innovative strategies to adapt to changing market demands.

According to Alan, in a context where lease agreements are becoming more flexible and companies are seeking more compact and efficient spaces for hybrid work, a notable trend in Santa Fe is the growing demand for Plug & Play spaces, which allow companies to move in and operate immediately without significant investment in fittings. Data from SiiLA Market Analytics indicates that around 57% of the office inventory in Mexico City is Pre-Build and Plug & Play.

At The Summit, for example, these spaces range from 300 to 500 square meters and are designed to be flexible and customizable, adapting to each tenant's specific needs. The adaptability of this property's spaces is enhanced through a comprehensive approach that includes commercial and entertainment areas on two levels. Restaurants, coffee shops, leisure spots, and a wellness hub equipped for yoga, functional exercise, and a spa enrich the experience for those who work and visit the building. This multifaceted approach meets the contemporary needs of workspace and positions the corporation as a leader in offering quality office spaces in Santa Fe.
