The real estate sector in Mexico is preparing for a 2025 marked by an estimated growth of 15% annually, reaching a projected investment of 652 billion pesos (mdp) and driven by the construction of housing, industrial warehouses and other key projects, according to data provided by the consulting firm Softec.
Josefina Moisés, general director of the Mexican Association of Real Estate Fibras (Amefibra) , said that the sector’s opportunities will be linked to nearshoring and the government’s program for the development of 150 urban centers.
However, he warned that political and economic factors could slow the pace of investment in certain segments.
Likewise, since their launch in 2011, Real Estate Investment Trusts (Fibras) have played a crucial role in the consolidation of the sector.
Currently, 15 Fibras associated with Amefibra represent nearly 5% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with an occupancy rate of over 95% in its more than 32.5 million square meters (m2) of gross rentable area.
In addition, Amefibra reported that the sector is diversified into industrial, commercial, hotel and other areas, with 65% of the gross rentable area concentrated in the industrial sector .
Despite these achievements, Moisés stressed that developers will need to integrate sustainable practices and innovative technology to respond to changing market preferences.
“We will see many developers incorporating sustainable practices and new technologies on an ongoing basis,” stressed Moisés.
He also reported that the projected investment in different segments for 2025 includes:
- Housing: Construction of 223,666 units for 364,551 million pesos.
- Industrial warehouses: 5.5 million m2 for 71 thousand 885 million pesos.
- Vacation homes: 16,232 units for 101,492 million pesos.
- Hotels: 10 thousand rooms for 51 thousand 753 million pesos.
- Offices: 250 thousand m2 for 19 thousand 400 million pesos.
- Shopping centers: 300 thousand m2 for 16 thousand 712 million pesos.
In addition, Amefibra announced that in the financial field , the Fibras have issued thematic bonds worth 36 billion pesos, reflecting a commitment to ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) principles.
Additionally, the Afores own more than 42% of the capital of these entities, consolidating them as key players in the market.
The outlook for 2025 presents ample investment opportunities , but also the need to overcome obstacles that could influence the development of the sector.
