During the first two months of 2025, the Guadalajara corporate real estate market reported a total absorption of 8.4 thousand square meters of office spaces, a figure that represents a decrease of 31% compared to the same period of the previous year.

Although the figures indicate a slowdown with respect to the demand for office spaces, the Nueva Zona Financiera submarket continues to consolidate itself as the main business center of the city, concentrating strong demand during this two-month period of 45%. The Providencia submarket, for its part, reached 20% of total absorptions.

On the other hand, Puerta de Hierro obtained third place with 14% of transactions, which represents a significant decrease compared to 2024 where it led the demand.

In addition to this, the effects of inflation, high interest rates and the impact of new strategies such as hybrid work, which is still part of the new models adopted by companies, are determining factors that have generated caution in making operational decisions when leasing an office. 

However, the drop in demand is not necessarily an indication that Guadalajara has lost its attractiveness as a corporate headquarters, since the occupation of office spaces still persists, but rather it is a sign of the changes that the market is going through in an economic context of uncertainty.
