Due to its potential for the logistics and automotive industry, the Silao-León corridor in the industrial market of Guanajuato is emerging as the most attractive investment alternative in the state, aimed at a speedy recovery from the impact suffered by the suspension of activities as a result of the pandemic .

At the close of the first quarter of 2021, this corridor, with its more than 2.5 million square meters of inventory and 200 thousand square meters of vacancy equivalent to a rate of 7.9%, offers alternatives of speculative warehouses ranging from 2,700 meters square to 24 thousand square meters, ready to meet the needs of national and foreign investors.

But the factor that has given relevance to this corridor, which has been observed since the last months of last year, is the construction of tailor-made projects (BTS).

While the construction of speculative spaces at the end of March 2021 ranged around 31 thousand square meters, the BTS projects were almost 60 thousand square meters.

The companies focused on the inputs necessary for the automotive industry are the ones that have strongly promoted the demands of BTS ships. However, the arrival of companies such as FedEX and BYDSA to the Stiva León Industrial Park was also observed, one of the bastions that have strengthened the attraction of investments to this corridor, together with the León-Bajío Industrial Park and the important Santa Fe Puerto Interior .

The Silao-León corridor also suffered the consequences of the health emergency, which are reflected when contrasting the almost 24 thousand square meters of net absorption in 1Q 2020 with the 12 thousand square meters observed in the same period of 2020.

The outlook is encouraging for the Silao-León corridor and for the entire Guanajuato industrial market. Despite the presentation of factors such as the gradual recovery and resumption of activities, the arrival of new investors is glimpsed in the industrial parks already mentioned, which will further promote the construction of tailor-made projects.
