Queretaro emerges as a key hub for industrial expansion in Mexico I 26 August 2026
August 26, 2026

The industrial real estate market in central Mexico is entering a highly relevant phase for investors and global corporations. As of the end of July 2026, the Bajio region consolidated an available supply of nearly 1 million square meters of industrial space, supported by another 700,000 square meters currently under construction. Within this highly competitive environment, Queretaro stands out decisively as the region’s clear leader and main growth engine, accounting for 43% of the vacant industrial space across the regional corridor.

In this context, Queretaro is consolidating its position as a strategic destination for institutional capital and companies seeking to expand their operations with agility and a long-term vision. By concentrating nearly half of the region’s available supply, it offers a diversified inventory of next-generation industrial buildings ready to accommodate advanced manufacturing projects, logistics centers, and high-tech operations.

From an operational standpoint, immediate availability allows companies to reduce setup times and accelerate the launch of new production lines compared with other, more saturated markets in the country. For investors and developers, this advantage translates into faster occupancy and more efficient placement of industrial assets.

From a financial perspective, lease rates in the Bajio remain below the national average of USD 7.63 per square meter per month, allowing occupiers to optimize occupancy costs and strengthen profit margins without compromising quality or urban connectivity.

Looking ahead, Queretaro and its surrounding corridors have additional projects under development, as well as land and construction reserves capable of sustaining the economic growth driven by global supply chain relocation trends.

In summary, Queretaro is consolidating itself as the meeting point between world-class infrastructure, certainty, and profitability. For investment funds and industrial leaders, it represents a strategic opportunity to secure a position in a dynamic, solid market with one of the strongest growth potentials in Mexico.
