Leaders from the commercial and industrial real estate sector gathered in Monterrey for the SIOR MEX-TEX event, a forum designed to strengthen collaboration between Mexico and the United States within the North American real estate and investment landscape.
Among the participants was Carlo A. Molano Longoria, President of Forum CRE, who co-hosted the event in his capacity as President of SIOR San Antonio / South Texas, alongside Alex Anaya, President of SIOR México, and Saadia Sheikh, President of SIOR Global.
A Cross-Border Dialogue on Industrial Real Estate
The SIOR MEX-TEX gathering served as a platform for industry leaders to exchange perspectives on the evolving dynamics of industrial real estate, investment trends, and the growing importance of cross-border collaboration in the North American market.
With Monterrey recognized as one of Mexico’s most important industrial hubs, the event created an opportunity for professionals from both countries to discuss how nearshoring, supply chain restructuring, and manufacturing expansion are influencing real estate development across the region.
Industry Leaders Share Market Insights
The program included a panel discussion featuring prominent executives from leading real estate and investment firms. Among the speakers were Gerardo Ruiz, Partner at Panattoni México, Ernesto Rodríguez, CEO of JLL México, and Simon Hanna, CEO of Fibra Macquarie México.
The panel addressed the outlook for industrial real estate, investment flows, and the growing demand for logistics and manufacturing space across Mexico and the United States as companies adjust their regional production strategies.
Strengthening Connections Between Mexico and the U.S.
Events such as SIOR MEX-TEX highlight the increasing interdependence of the Mexican and U.S. industrial real estate markets. As companies expand operations across North America, closer coordination between developers, investors, and advisory firms has become essential for identifying new opportunities and supporting large-scale industrial projects.
