building in Ciudad Juarez, which as an estimated investment of 380 million

This investment will
generate 600 new direct employees and 750 indirect ones.
This industrial
building will have two buildings of an estimated size of 20 thousand square
meters each.
The industrial building
will be built on the Independencia industrial zone, next to plants like Lexmark
and Electrolux.
The construction has
two stages: the first phase is anticipated to be finished by the second half of
2019 and the second will depend on the commercialization level, but it is
expected to be ended during the first half of 2020.
Juan Monroy, director
of Fibra Macquaire, shared that they chose Ciudad Juarez to build this
industrial complex for its dynamism and the economic development they observed
in the region.
“It is an attractive
region for us, since it is attractive for our customers. And the reason of this is that Juarez has
qualified workforce, a strong supply network and the proximity of the United
States. It is an important market for us,”
said Monrroy.
He added that this
industrial building in particular is a reason great pride due to the industrial
building being built from zero.
“With this we
contribute with our grain of sand to the economic development of the city and
the State,” said Monrroy.
Meanwhile, Alejandra de
la Vega, secretary of Innovation and Economic Development, underlined that the
real estate market in Cd. Juarez is dynamic and competitive, since it
nationally occupies the third place in industrial buildings inventory built
with 64 million square feet and an availability rate of 6.52 percent.
“It is a very big price
seeing how leading companies from the industrial real estate sector as FIBRA
Macquarie are betting on it and contribute to the economic development of our
city,” ended De la Vega Arizpe.
The two new constructions
will join the 46 properties the firm already has in the State, what represents
6 thousand million pesos of investment.
