Through the Infrastructure and Real Estate Trusts (Fibras) and the Development Capital Certificates (CKDs), real estate investment will continue to be boosted during 2018.

The real estate sector is a growing part of the Mexican institutional portfolio, although it is still considered small within the total market of managed funds investments, Fibras and CKDs, said Eugene Towle, managing partner of Softec.

He also explained that the penetration in the real estate market of CKDs is increasing. "We estimate that about 2.317 billion pesos a year have been placed in the real estate sector, which represents about 8.2% of the capital invested annually in the sector."
