Between January and June 2026, the border city registered a cumulative demand of 70,000 square meters, a figure that doubled the volume registered in the same period of 2025.

The Mexicali–San Luis Río Colorado Highway industrial submarket consolidated its position as the main recipient of demand during the first six months of the year, driven by its connectivity and strategic location, which facilitate access to the border with the United States and strengthen logistical ties with the neighboring country to the north.

All leases were concentrated in speculative warehouses, as developers and owners have prioritized occupying available space before initiating new investments in industrial infrastructure.

Due to increased market demand, developers in the city have resumed new projects in 2026, following a period of pause. This trend reflects a clear reactivation of the real estate sector and demonstrates greater confidence in market conditions.

Mexicali is expected to maintain stable demand and gradual industrial growth over the next few years. However, market performance will be closely linked to changes in the trade framework between Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Therefore, it will be crucial to monitor the reviews and negotiations of the North American trade agreement, given the uncertainty generated by the United States' stance regarding its continuation.
