The Monterrey industrial market leads the volume of demand in the northern region, exceeding 130,000 square meters leased; however, this figure is 30% lower than that recorded in the same period of the previous year. Meanwhile, Reynosa, Chihuahua, and Tijuana each exceeded 30,000 square meters of demand, while Ciudad Juárez and Tecate reported no transactions during the period.

Regarding availability, vacant inventory in northern Mexico reached 3.6 million square meters at the end of February 2026, representing a year-over-year increase of 1.7 million square meters. This increase is mainly due to the slowdown in demand and the increase in vacant space.
