which have announced new development projects in the states
of Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Querétaro and Sinaloa.
All of these new investments mean greater demand for industrial
compounds, primarily Class A buildings for Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers,”
says Ávila Connelly.
The aerospace industry is also experiencing a steady increase.
With a 12% growth forecasted by year end, according to figures
released by the Mexican Federation of the Aerospace Industry
(FEMIA), the sector has become another market niche for those
engaged in promoting industrial parks in Mexico. This industry
used to operate facilities across the northern range of Mexico comprising
the states of Baja California, Chihuahua, Sonora, Nuevo
León and Tamaulipas.
The state of Querétaro clearly started to show that it did not plan
to stay behind in 2010 and will soon consolidate itself as the engi-
neering, development and design cluster for the aerospace industry
in central Mexico, attracting major investors such as General Electric,
Bombardier, Aernnova Aerospace and Eurocopter.
Mexico City and El Bajío region in central Mexico became the
areas that sold the largest number of industrial spaces at the end
of 2011.
“The availability rate dropped from 7.5% to 5.5% in central Mexico
during the second half of the year, while this same availability
rate was reported above eight percent in the northeastern part of the
country,” states Ávila Connelly.
Demand of industrial spaces is expected to grow with the emergence
of other sectors full of development policies that have been
particularly emphatic, such as the agriculture and food, medical
devices, electrical, electronic, renewable energy and creative industries,
along with IT and software services.
