The corporate real estate market in western Mexico City presents notable contrasts in pricing, tenant profiles, and types of real estate offerings. Despite their proximity, the office corridors of Lomas Palmas and Lomas Altas exhibit distinct dynamics that influence their positioning within the city, as well as occupancy and investment decisions.
Lomas Palmas: High Demand and Premium Pricing
Lomas Palmas is part of the corridors that make up the CBD (Central Business District), meaning it belongs to the city’s economic core, where major commercial, financial, and business activities are concentrated. This strategic position makes it an attractive location for high-profile companies seeking prime location, connectivity, and high-quality office space.
In terms of performance, this corridor records a 12% vacancy rate, below the market average, along with gross absorption of 32,000 square meters (m²) during 2025. One of the key transactions includes the occupancy of Torre Óptima III by Discovery Networks, with 15,030 m², reinforcing its appeal to global companies.
As a result, it is positioned as a premium-priced submarket, with Class A+ rents averaging $29.00 USD/m²/month, reflecting the exclusivity of its spaces and its relevance within the corporate market.
Although it shares proximity with Lomas Altas, the main difference lies in its concentration of exclusive Class A and A+ office buildings, which stand out due to their strategic location, dynamism, and asset value.
Lomas Altas: A more Flexible Alternative
In contrast, Lomas Altas offers a more diverse range of corporate spaces. While it includes quality buildings, it does not concentrate the same level of Class A+ properties nor the same corporate tenant profile.
This corridor shows a high vacancy rate of 37%, indicating lower demand compared to other office corridors. However, some transactions have taken place, such as the occupancy of spaces in Atelier and Reforma Lomas Altas.
These figures are also influenced by accessibility and surrounding conditions. The area has more limited public transportation options, less accessible road infrastructure, and predominantly wooded terrain, which can affect its attractiveness for certain corporate tenants.
However, these differences translate into more competitive pricing, with average rents around $19.00 USD/m²/month, making it a flexible alternative for companies seeking lower costs in a key western Mexico City location.
Two Strategies Within the Same Area
Together, both submarkets illustrate how, within the same area, the office market can offer different solutions depending on each company’s needs. While Lomas Palmas aligns with strategies focused on positioning and prestige, Lomas Altas caters to more cost-efficient and operationally flexible approaches.
