FIBRAs now represent more than 3% of Mexico’s GDP and generate over 1.3 million jobs. During Fibra Day 2026, industry leaders highlighted their role as key investment vehicles due to their ability to channel capital toward productive infrastructure and long-term economic development.

FIBRAs have established themselves as one of the leading investment vehicles for transforming capital into institutional infrastructure, economic development, and sustainable growth in Mexico. Over the past decade, the sector has demonstrated its ability to attract investment, drive strategic projects, and strengthen various segments of the country’s real estate market.

As part of Fibra Day, held to commemorate the tenth anniversary of AMEFIBRA, industry leaders participated in a series of panels and conferences to discuss the sector’s evolution, its challenges, and the opportunities that will shape its future.

One of the featured sessions was the panel “FIBRAs as Catalysts for Exponential Growth,” moderated by Adrián Huerta, Head Mexico Equity Strategist at J.P. Morgan. The discussion brought together José Juan Sordo Madaleno de Haro, Chief Executive Officer of Fibra SOMA; Raúl Gallegos, Chief Executive Officer of Fibra Next; Jaime Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Fibra Inn; and Salvador Cayón, Chief Executive Officer of Fibra Shop.

The panelists agreed that these vehicles are playing an increasingly important role in channeling resources toward assets that generate employment, economic activity, and long-term development, while also providing investors with access to professionally managed real estate portfolios.

“FIBRAs have proven to be an effective tool for connecting long-term capital with projects that generate real economic growth. Beyond the assets themselves, their value lies in their ability to drive investment, employment, and productive activity across various sectors of the economy,” said José Juan Sordo Madaleno, Chief Executive Officer of Fibra SOMA.

In his remarks, Sordo Madaleno emphasized that value creation within a FIBRA can come from multiple sources, including the development of new projects, the organic growth of existing assets, and the acquisition of strategic properties, always guided by a long-term vision focused on strengthening portfolios and generating sustainable returns.

Participants also noted that institutionalization continues to represent one of the greatest opportunities for Mexico’s real estate industry, particularly in segments where a significant share of assets remains in the hands of private owners and where public investment vehicles can help facilitate professionalization and consolidation processes.

Finally, they highlighted that strengthening Mexico’s capital markets will be key to the industry’s future growth by increasing liquidity and broadening the investor base. They also emphasized the importance of promoting greater awareness and understanding of these investment vehicles among both domestic and international investors, with the goal of increasing participation in the sector and further deepening the market.
