October 20, 2023 - Meor, a real estate fund
specializing in the development of AAA industrial parks, has successfully
concluded the sale of one of its facilities to one of Mexico's largest and most
institutional real estate investment trusts (REITs). This strategic move aligns
with Meor's commitment to economic growth and the expansion of businesses in
Mexico, marking a milestone in the company's business strategy to strengthen
its market presence and adapt to changing industrial trends.
The industrial warehouse in question, designed for
logistical use, was erected in 2021 and is situated in the Blvd 2000 area.
Spanning an impressive 42,000 square meters of leasable space on a
79,000-square-meter plot, this facility represents a high-value asset with
significant potential for any company seeking to expand its operations in
Mexico.
Meor has successfully built and developed nearly 90
projects, maintaining an impressive occupancy rate of 98 percent across its
portfolio. Together, these installations offer over 350,000 square meters of
construction.
Jonathan Pomerantz, Chief Investment Officer of Meor, emphasized the positive impact of
industrial development or sales on job creation and the improvement of living
conditions for surrounding communities. "For us, this is the opportune
moment to capitalize on industrial trends driven by the growing demand for
industrial spaces, fueled by the rise of e-commerce and nearshoring. This will
further strengthen our institutional real estate portfolio with high-quality
creditworthy tenants," Pomerantz stated.
Javier Camarena, CEO of Meor, highlighted that the
sale of this industrial warehouse enhances the company's capacity to continue
investing in the development of industrial parks and warehouses, fostering the
establishment of new businesses and the expansion of existing ones in Mexico.
The strategic move positions Meor for continued success in a dynamic and
evolving industrial landscape.
