It is the second project in Ciudad Juárez since the entity is a leader in the country as it is the spearhead in the infrastructure of industrial parks”.

A lot of development is required, since it is estimated that there is a deficit of 11 million m2 that is lacking in the country to meet the needs. At Meor we are focused on growth and development to take advantage of nearshoring and give the Republic a boost”.

The stability of the industrial sector, the strength of its economy, and real estate growth opportunities support our focus on continuing to trust and invest in Mexico. We thank the authorities for the constant support they have given us and the confidence in our projects”.
