According to the president of the Mexican Chamber of the Construction Industry (CMIC), Gabriel Valenzuela Moreno, in the last four years the investment in public works in Tijuana decreased by 86.7%. He also said that in this year at least 2,500 million pesos will have been allocated to private projects, with approximately 70% for the development of high-cost vertical housing and that the rest will be industrial parks.

José Luis Padilla Gutiérrez, president of the National Chamber of the Development and Housing Promotion Industry (Canadevi) in Baja California, said that since there was no investment in public works, construction companies had to change from building projects of social interest to those of vertical design and high cost.

"Tijuana registers a boom in regards to the construction of vertical residential housing, as real estate companies from other states of the country carry out projects in different areas of the city," he warned.
