Monterrey’s real estate market continues to bet on mixed-use building construction. These projects integrate retail, office, hospitality, and residential spaces within a single development.
In addition to transforming the urban landscape, they represent an increasingly attractive investment opportunity for the retail real estate segment, combining shopping, entertainment, and visitor experience.
Frida Valencia, Retail Analyst at Datoz, explained that the main mixed-use developments currently nearing inauguration in the Monterrey metropolitan area include a significant retail component, which will help activate supply within the market.
Altea Paseo Hidalgo
Altea Paseo Hidalgo is one of the most representative projects of this trend. It is a concept that integrates retail and residential spaces in a single development, responding to consumer preferences for connectivity and easy access to services within the city.
The complex includes more than 25,205 m² distributed across a 27-story vertical scheme, incorporating retail spaces on the lower floors and residential units on the upper levels. It will also feature amenities focused on social interaction and well-being, as well as more than 250 parking spaces.
Its opening is scheduled for mid-2026.
Torre Rise
Another standout development is Torre Rise, located in the Obispado area on Constitución Avenue, which is set to become the tallest tower in Latin America, reaching more than 484 meters in height, with four floors dedicated to retail space.
Among its future tenants is Kimpton Hotel, part of the IHG Hotels & Resorts chain, offering premium amenities such as a spa, sauna, swimming pool, gym, bar, restaurant, and private lounges.
The tower will also include a strong gastronomic component, featuring several renowned restaurants.
The project is currently under construction and is expected to open later this year.
ZUL Valle Oriente
Another mega-development that began construction in February is ZUL Valle Oriente, developed by GM Desarrollos in San Pedro Garza García. The master plan includes a shopping center, residential units, hotels, office space, and entertainment areas.
According to the developer, the project will include 18 towers built in different phases over the next 15 years, including:
9 residential towers
7 corporate office buildings
2 hotels
More than 60,000 m² of retail space
Between 2026 and 2028, developers are expected to continue expanding their portfolios with mixed-use buildings. Sustainability and visitor experience will remain key drivers shaping decisions in the retail sector.
