Mexico City, May 11 – The industrial real estate market in Mexico City maintained its strong momentum during April 2026, recording the commencement of construction for 108,000 square meters of new industrial warehouses. This figure represents a twofold increase in surface area compared to the same month last year.
Mexico City Dominates National Industrial Construction
According to data from the Solili platform, the nation’s capital emerged as the market with the highest industrial construction activity nationwide during April, accounting for 45% of all new construction starts registered in Mexico.
This growth in activity reflects that, despite a observed slowdown in some industrial markets across the country, the Mexico City metropolitan area continues to demonstrate active demand for logistics and industrial spaces. This demand is primarily driven by its proximity to major consumption centers and the ongoing expansion of e-commerce and last-mile distribution.
Class B and Class A Warehouses Drive Development
One of the most significant aspects during April was the predominance of Class B industrial warehouse projects. This segment concentrated three of the five developments initiated during the month, equivalent to 41% of the new construction surface area.
Class A warehouses, while representing only two projects, accounted for the remaining 59% of the initiated construction. This is due to their larger dimensions and technical specifications, which are tailored for logistics companies, light manufacturing, and distribution centers.
Zumpango Corridor: A Strategic Hub for Industrial Expansion
The Zumpango industrial corridor once again positioned itself as the primary focus of expansion within Mexico City’s industrial market, concentrating 47% of the new projects initiated.
Specialists attribute this trend to the availability of land for new developments, as well as the strengthening of road and logistics connectivity in the area. These factors have successfully attracted new industrial projects and distribution centers.
Zumpango has also gained strategic relevance due to its proximity to important connection routes to the center of the country and the growth of transportation and logistics-related infrastructure.
2025: A Year of Historic Absorption for CDMX Industrial Market
April’s performance confirms that Mexico City continues to be one of the most active industrial markets in the country, particularly in segments linked to warehousing, urban logistics, and distribution.
Although some national markets have moderated their construction pace due to higher financial costs and adjustments in demand, the capital maintains solid performance thanks to the limited availability of space and the need for companies to remain close to major consumption centers.
Finally, industry analysts believe that Mexico City’s industrial market will continue to show activity throughout the rest of 2026, especially in peripheral corridors where there is still capacity for new industrial and logistics developments.
