The northern area of Guadalajara is the only site in the municipality that offers an urban development reserve with high-density mixed land use with the possibility that the capital of Jalisco can be repopulated through a project presented as Puerta Guadalajara and that today is known as the Iconia District.

The land is concentrated mainly in the neighborhood of Huentitán El Alto, 3 kilometers from the ravine, the natural barrier by which metropolitan urbanization has been drastically slowed down since 2000, causing a depopulation of Guadalajara of almost 200 thousand inhabitants.

In the Manuel Gómez Morin and Calzada Independencia Peripheral ring area, the land at first glance is abandoned, but a mega transformation for housing and development of public spaces for the benefit of the population has been projected by the Iconia District.

The property is not just one piece of land, but three: two are owned by the Guadalajara City Council and the private one by the Iconia District. The space has a fund of 13.5 hectares, abandoned for now, but which are mostly part (60 percent) of a mega project of more than 80 thousand square meters of parks, gardens, recreational areas and high-performance sports for the benefit of the inhabitants of Huentitán and as part of the urgent services in that area adjacent to the Barranca. 40 percent of the property is for the Iconia District reserve for the urban development of apartment towers that will begin with a building and according to the market it will grow in a long-term construction process that will grow along with services for the city as a popular market, hospital and education facilities.

The idle property was transformed since 2008 into the Puerta Guadalajara project (today the Iconia District) with the possibility of real estate development in order to provide income via property tax, as well as equipment for the benefit of the population after it was privatized. The most recent history of the use of that space before the exchange indicates it as the headquarters of the municipality's junk car dump, the Parque y Jardines garbage dump and a large asphalt plate where garbage was accumulated for years.

In the city of Guadalajara you can find office spaces starting at 30 square meters in Plaza del Sol. Enter Solili to review the options.
