In the lowlands, both Querétaro and Guanajuato, stand out as the main industrial cities that had registered increases in gross demand between 2021 and 2020 106% and 26%, respectively, after the significant contraction experienced during 2020 where the greatest effects were registered by the pandemic,

At the same time, the residential and corporate markets also had a strong boost prior to the pandemic, mainly in Querétaro, which in relation to the office sector added nearly 100 thousand square meters of new buildings to the inventory during 2019 and 2020, closing as of December 2021 with almost 451 thousand square meters of inventory.

For their part, industrial and service companies based in Guanajuato have in León the ideal location to set up corporate headquarters.

Also the distance between León and Guadalajara, Aguascalientes and San Luis Potosí, between 2 to 3 hours on average, allows connections that make León a central and easily accessible place for the different cities that make up the Mexican lowlands.

Currently, this entity has a corporate market size close to 194 thousand square meters, where about 50 thousand square meters advance in buildings that seek to create an iconic profile in this city.

The last quarter of 2021 generated an increase in its net absorption by registering almost 28 thousand square meters of spaces, mostly class A, distributed in 84% on the Campestre - Country submarket and the remaining percentage on the López Mateos submarket.

The requested footage was between 82 and 1 thousand square meters with rental prices ranging from $175.00 MXN to $400.00 MXN per month, almost a third less than the average prices registered in Queretaro.

The Campestre - Country subarket reported a new offer with the Paseo de los Insurgentes 2568 building, which registers 3.1 thousand square meters of net profitable area.

It is on this same submarket that the financial services company HDI Seguros built its headquarters under the BTS format, being this new reference campus for this group that in its first phase registers little more than 32 thousand square meters, hoping to complete its headquarters by 2026.

The centralized geographical location, labor stability, and the competitiveness of land and service costs, together with the impulse that the authorities give to this city, will allow the development of competitive advantages in the León market for international corporations to incorporate them into their options when selecting a site.
