AMPIP has brought the first 20 industrial parks tied to Plan México into operation, marking an early private-sector milestone for the federal government’s industrial strategy. Backed by more than US$711 million in investment, the projects add 3.5 million m² of capacity across 10 key states and reinforce Mexico’s ability to attract nearshoring-driven manufacturing and logistics investment.
Mexico’s private industrial developers have begun to turn one of the federal government’s most visible industrial policy commitments into operating infrastructure. Developers affiliated with the Mexican Association of Private Industrial Parks (AMPIP) have already brought the first 20 industrial parks tied to Plan México’s 100-park target into operation, with more than US$711 million invested so far.
Together, these projects add 3.5 million m² of installed capacity and could host about 245 manufacturing and logistics companies, generating an estimated 62,000 direct jobs.
Altagracia Gómez, Coordinator, Regional Economic Development and Relocation Advisory Council (CADERR) presented the milestone during AMPIP’s first 2026 General Assembly, acknowledging the coordination between the federal government and industrial developers. Gómez led the recognition of 15 industrial real estate developers that materialized and put into operation the first 20 parks under the Plan México goal.
The progress comes at a time when industrial infrastructure has become one of Mexico’s main constraints in capturing nearshoring-related investment. The new parks are already operating in 10 strategic states, including Nuevo Leon, Baja California, Chihuahua, Jalisco and Mexico City, all of which remain key nodes for manufacturing activity linked to automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical devices and logistics.
AMPIP frames the first delivery as evidence that industrial developers are responding to government efforts to remove bottlenecks while supplying the operational space required for light manufacturing and logistics. According to the association, the 20 parks are already considered operational because each has at least one tenant working on-site, giving immediate business relevance to the infrastructure and greater certainty for future tenant expansion.
Beyond the headline investment figure, the projects underscore the scale of private participation behind Plan Mexico. AMPIP says the 15 developers invested in land urbanization and industrial building construction in coordination with public entities through the association and CADERR. The parks are intended to provide secure, efficient and strategically located space that can strengthen domestic and global supply chains, especially for advanced manufacturing industries that depend on reliable logistics access and modern industrial facilities.
Claudia Esteves, CEO, AMPIP says the delivery of the first 20 parks was not just a numeric milestone but proof that the private sector and the Mexican government are working together to advance the country’s industrial and economic development.
That message also aligns with AMPIP’s broader 2026 agenda. In late February, the association swore in David O’Donnell as president for 2026-2027, while identifying energy, water, trade and ESG as core priorities for keeping Mexico’s industrial park platform competitive, MBN reported.
Demand for industrial space remains strong in several of Mexico’s manufacturing hubs. In Monterrey alone, more than 100 new industrial buildings were recently delivered, adding over 2.3 million m² to inventory, a signal that developers are still racing to keep up with the needs of manufacturers and logistics operators despite mounting infrastructure pressures.
Plan Mexico aims to support the development of 100 industrial parks to strengthen productive infrastructure, attract domestic and foreign investment and create new opportunities for manufacturing and logistics growth.
