In 2025, Mexico’s industrial real estate sector continues to show strong investment opportunities. According to the Mexican Association of Private Industrial Parks (AMPIP), the total market value is projected to reach $32 billion USD by the end of the year, reflecting an annual growth rate of 15%.
In this context, the country has seen significant growth in the construction and occupancy of industrial properties, solidifying Mexico’s position as a strategic hub for nearshoring and logistics in North America.
This expansion also opens the door for the continued development of industrial buildings, which have become a key driver of the sector’s recovery in the years following the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, this article explores the three main classification categories for industrial assets—Class A, B, and C—and the importance of understanding their rating in today’s market.
The A, B and C classification
The Class A, B, and C system differentiates industrial properties based on construction quality, location, infrastructure, and other relevant factors. Each category has its own set of characteristics that depend on specific manufacturing or logistics needs.
The international classification guidelines provided by the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA)establish the following framework for evaluating industrial buildings.
Why is this classification important?
The classification of industrial buildings directly impacts the profitability of assets, especially in a context of financial caution due to the global economic slowdown.
A well-classified property offers greater certainty for investors and landlords, while making it easier to assess its market value and capacity to generate long-term contracts.
Moreover, this classification serves as a strategic tool for competing in the global real estate market and meeting the needs of both domestic and international companies. By establishing clear standards for quality and infrastructure, businesses can make more informed decisions about which type of facility best fits their operating model—whether manufacturing, logistics, or last-mile distribution.
