Throughout 2025, the Mexico City market recorded the highest demand for industrial space in the country, with a total of 1.1 million m² absorbed. Despite these favorable figures, the market also showed signs of stabilization compared to the end of 2024, when 1.3 million m² were absorbed.
These figures represent a 12% decrease in demand, suggesting that investment decisions are now being made with greater caution and over longer evaluation periods.
Logistics Demand Drives Huehuetoca-Zumpango
The strong demand recorded in the Mexico City market—particularly in the main corridor of Cuautitlán, Tultitlán, and Tepotzotlán (CTT)—combined with the shortage of large-scale spaces, has led developers to seek more viable alternatives to deliver high-quality industrial parks at more competitive asking rents.
This trend has accelerated the consolidation of the Huehuetoca–Zumpango submarket, especially during the last quarter of 2025, when major transactions were recorded by companies such as Mercado Libre and Nadro at Panorama Tultepec. Together, these operations accounted for 139,000 m² of absorbed space.
Similarly, Kuehne + Nagel and a packaging company established operations at T-Mex Park, with the two companies absorbing a combined 123,000 m². These transactions positioned the submarket as the top performer in absorption during 2025.
This represents an unusual shift, as this position had historically been held by the CTT corridor in previous years. As a result, Huehuetoca–Zumpango now demonstrates strong long-term growth and development potential.
Asking Rents Reach Historic Highs
During 2025, asking rents in the Mexico City industrial real estate market continued to show a slight quarter-over-quarter increase, with the weighted average reaching $10.32 USD per m²/month, the highest asking rent nationwide.
While the CTT corridor continues to register the highest asking rents in the Mexico City market—with historic highs of up to $14 USD per m²/month—other submarkets such as Huehuetoca–Zumpango offer more competitive pricing, with asking rents averaging $8.20 USD per m²/month.
Finally, the nearshoring trend continues to drive demand for space in the Mexico City area, suggesting sustained growth potential for 2026.
