As one of the initial operations of the new Finsa III Fund and the expansion plan , Finsa announced the purchase of assets for 45,838 square meters of the El Salto Industrial Park located in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco.
The leading developer of industrial parks in Mexico generated an investment of 25.5 million dollars for this purchase, which is the second acquisition during 2021.
The portfolio consists of three buildings and is located in a primary market with high industrial activity , with important clients such as ZF Services , Inventronics , Expeditors International , Omnilife and Cargoquin , and with a diversification by industries: 34% automotive, 27% manufacturing, 23 % logistics and 16% health .
In this way, Finsa continues to increase its presence in strategic areas and industries throughout the country.
El Salto, Jalisco, has maintained its growth during the last 10 years and is one of the most relevant and dynamic submarkets in the city of Guadalajara, which occupies the fifth position at the national level due to its industrial market size of 4.5 million meters squares .
Sergio Argüelles González, president and CEO of FINSA, pointed out that more investments are expected to arrive in Jalisco in the following months, with which it is estimated that there will be significant growth in this market during the first half of the year.
“Despite the situation, we observe deeply rooted production and value generation factors in Jalisco, such as talent, infrastructure and the position it has achieved in recent years in advanced and specialized manufacturing, as well as its ideal location for the logistics sector ”, he commented.
In 2020, Jalisco ranked third nationally in attracting Foreign Direct Investment , consolidating its position as a strategic destination to establish operations.
Likewise, it is one of the markets that offers the best conditions for the development of industrial spaces thanks to its geographical location and land communication with the port of Manzanillo, a window to the West for the Asian market.
On the other hand, its proximity to cities such as Mexico City and El Bajío, its road infrastructure and a workforce of 3.39 million highly trained people in high technology, electronics, manufacturing, telecommunications and automotive sectors, give this area a neuralgic character within the national territory.
In less than three months, Finsa has acquired three portfolios for a total of 76,858 square meters , in various industrial areas of: Monterrey, Sonora, Guanajuato and Guadalajara , for an accumulated amount of 43.7 million dollars , adding one more location to his remaining 63 .
