REGIONAL OFFICES
Hines Mexico Regional Office
Hines has been active in the Mexico market since the early
1980s, and Hines’ Mexico City Regional Office was established
in 1994. Since that time, the firm has successfully developed
residential, office and industrial projects in Mexico City,
Querétaro, Guadalajara and, most recently, San Luis Potosí.
Hines performed its first international acquisition in Mexico
with the purchase and subsequent remodeling of Torre del Angel.
Mexico was also the site for the firm’s first international
industrial development and its first entry into the industrial
market in more than 20 years. The company’s extremely
successful third-party management activities include facility
management assignments, high-end residential management and
industrial management responsibilities. All told, Hines has
completed, owns or manages a total of 6.5 million square feet
of buildings and more than 600 acres of land infrastructure
development in Mexico. Currently, over 4.4 million square feet are under development.
A Current Regional Initiative
Currently under development in the central Mexican state of
San Luis Potosí, Parque Logistico will be a state-of-the-art
industrial and logistics park located on Eje 140 adjacent to
Mexico’s most important highway, Highway 57 (the NAFTA
Highway), and the principal north-south railway connecting the
U.S. with Mexico. An intermodal terminal and the regional customs
office are already in operation within the compound. Intermodal
facilities, like that located at the new industrial and logistics
park, are land-based container terminals that allow for the
quick and efficient transfer between road and rail transportation
networks. The first phase of the project, involving 100 acres
of more than 1,000 total acres to be developed, will include
a natural gas distribution network, a fiber-optic communications
system, a Factory Mutual-standard fire loop and a state-of-the-art
waste treatment facility.
