“Mérida is a city that has the perfect equation to invest; it has both national and foreign investment, it has very good recovery projects from both the local and federal governments, the Mayan Train, the modernization of Puerto Progreso ”, he explained.

He indicated that the tourist places and Yucatecan gastronomy, coupled with its proximity to destinations such as Cancun, in addition to having one of the wonders of the modern world (Chichén Itzá) "make the perfect equation for people to want to live in Mérida."

According to Ricardo Lara, in 2020 and the first half of 2021 the demand for land in the Yucatecan capital grew 200% compared to 2019.

“People are turning to see Mérida both to live and to invest. Amazon, for example, is opening a distribution center in Mérida, Tesla is going to open its fourth agency in Mexico and it will be in Mérida, and Walmart also has a distribution center there, ”the manager underlined.
