Despite U.S. Trade Tensions, Real Estate Investment Trusts (FIBRAs) maintain growth in their inventory, now extending to 40 million square meters (m2).
According to Salvador Daniel, President of the Mexican Association of Fibras Inmobiliarias (Amefibra), eight out of 14 affiliated firms possess properties in key industrial, office, commercial, self-storage, and agroindustrial sectors across development states.
“Amefibra reaffirms its commitment to Mexico’s economic development and competitiveness, aligning with Plan México and the Development Polos driven by President Claudia Sheinbaum. Our infrastructure is essential for attracting investment, job creation, and strengthening production chains in the country,” Daniel commented.
The breakdown of their inventory includes:
- 19.5 million m2 industrial space
- 21.1 million m2 agroindustrial sector
- 193,952 m2 self-storage
Beneficial States:
- Estado de México: 3.66 million m2
- Chihuahua: 2.58 million m2 (plus 21.18 million m2 in agroindustrial sector)
- Nuevo León: 1.65 million m2

Despite uncertainty from U.S. tariffs on Mexican imports, various Fibras continue development projects within Plan México zones.
Jorge Ávalos, General Director of Fibra Mty, stated that Mexico remains a strategic destination for industrial investment.
“Industrial space demand in Mexico stays high, driven by the country’s competitive manufacturing and skilled labor costs. Additionally, government support in this new administration cannot be overlooked,” he added.
- Fibra Nova: Five industrial development projects in Chihuahua
- Fibra Mty: Three construction projects in Nuevo León, Coahuila, and Aguascalientes
- Fibra Danhos: Two industrial parks in the State of Mexico
- Fibra Macquarie: Three industrial projects in Jalisco, Nuevo León, and Baja California totaling over 151,800 m2
“Moreover, besides fostering industrial and agroindustrial growth, we contribute complementary infrastructure necessary for Development Polos—such as office spaces, storage facilities, hospitality, commercial, educational areas, and more—promoting investment attraction in vital sectors,” Amefibra noted.
