FIBRA Macquarie continues its expansion plans in Mexico. In January 2024, the real estate investment trust (REIT) delivered a Class A industrial building with nearly 21,000 square meters of gross leasable area (GLA) in the Cuautitlan, Tultitlan, and Tepotzotlan (CTT) submarket of Mexico City. This development underscores the company's investment strategy, focused on strengthening its presence in the Mexican logistics and manufacturing sector with properties designed to streamline supply chains, especially for consumer goods and e-commerce sub-industries.
Over the past seven years, FIBRA Macquarie delivered 32 projects with a combined GLA of nearly 215,000 square meters. In addition, six developments and expansions –including the CTT warehouse– are underway and will add about 135,000 square meters to its portfolio. According to data from the REIT analyzed by SiiLA, the new developments are in Ciudad Juarez, Monterrey, Reynosa, Tijuana, and the Mexico City metropolitan area (ZMVM).
Notably, 87% of the REIT's portfolio is concentrated in the northern and central regions of Mexico. On one hand, most of its industrial GLA (78%) is in the markets of the north, while 69% of its commercial GLA is in the central zone. This reflects the trust's interest in properties suitable for cross-border trade and leveraging the country's primary consumption and distribution centers, allowing the company to capitalize on opportunities in markets with high growth potential and sustained demand, reinforcing its position in the Mexican commercial real estate sector.
FIBRA Macquarie's recent delivery represents 15% of the GLA the company is developing and has a LEED environmental certification. According to available information, 33% of the GLA of the 32 projects delivered in the last seven years had some environmental certification. This is the second industrial project the trust delivered to the ZMVM in the previous year. According to SiiLA, FIBRA Macquarie delivered a building of almost 47,300 square meters in the CTT submarket in 2023. This Class A building also has sustainable features and is occupied by Mercado Libre.
FIBRA Macquarie's sustainable investment strategy, reflected in its focus on properties with environmental certifications, contributes to its steady growth. In the last three years, the GLA of the REIT's portfolio increased by 3%, driven by industrial developments, which grew by 3.3% in the period, and commercial ones, with an increase of 1.2%. The trust's portfolio currently consists of 256 properties, with a combined GLA exceeding 3.3 million square meters.
