Tijuana Technology Park Expands Industrial Offer

Summary: Tijuana Technology Park expands Baja California’s Class A industrial real estate capacity by adding 750,000ft2 of fully built, immediately available space for manufacturing and logistics, reinforcing Tijuana’s role as a key nearshoring hub in the Cali-Baja cross-border region. Developed by Hines, the project addresses rising demand for turnkey industrial facilities by offering advanced infrastructure and direct access to the Tijuana–Tecate corridor and Otay border crossings. The development strengthens supply chain efficiency for automotive, electronics, and medical device manufacturers amid intensified competition among Mexican states to attract export-oriented investment. 

Tijuana is strengthening its industrial real estate offering with the launch of Tijuana Technology Park, a Class A development designed to support manufacturing, logistics, and distribution operations across the Cali-Baja region. The project adds approximately 750,000ft2 (69,700m2) of immediately available industrial space, reinforcing the city’s position as a key nearshoring hub in northern Mexico.

The development, led and managed by global real estate firm Hines, was formally presented on June 25 to real estate brokers, economic development organizations, and media representatives from both Tijuana and San Diego. The presentation highlighted the park’s infrastructure readiness and strategic location near key cross-border trade routes, underscoring its role in strengthening regional competitiveness.

Tijuana Technology Park consists of three fully completed industrial buildings equipped with Class A specifications, including energy availability and infrastructure designed to support high-efficiency industrial operations from day one. According to Hines project director Alberto Jiménez, the development eliminates common startup delays faced by manufacturing and logistics companies entering new markets.

“The park offers world-class infrastructure, fully completed buildings, immediate energy availability, and spaces ready for companies to begin operations from day one,” Jiménez said in remarks during the presentation.

Building on this operational readiness, Hines highlighted that the development reflects its long-term commitment to industrial real estate in Mexico. With more than 15 years of experience in Tijuana and additional projects in Guadalajara and the State of Mexico, the firm is leveraging its regional footprint to meet rising demand for nearshoring-oriented facilities. 

Strategic Location Strengthens Supply Chains

One of the key competitive advantages of Tijuana Technology Park is its location along the Tijuana–Tecate highway corridor, offering direct access to the Otay I and Otay II border crossings, as well as efficient connectivity to Mexicali. This positioning is designed to streamline cross-border trade flows and reduce transportation times for export-oriented manufacturers.

Jiménez noted that this connectivity is particularly important in a market where industrial corridors are increasingly saturated. “This location allows companies to reduce transit times, improve supply chain efficiency, and secure an alternative route in response to congestion in other industrial areas of the city,” he said.

The launch of Tijuana Technology Park comes as Mexico continues to benefit from global supply chain realignments, particularly in the automotive, electronics, and medical device industries. Baja California remains one of the country’s most active export manufacturing regions, with Tijuana serving as a critical node for cross-border production networks.

The development also aligns with broader national trends, as companies seek ready-to-operate industrial spaces that minimize setup time and accelerate production timelines. Demand for Class A industrial facilities has remained strong across northern border states, pushing developers to expand capacity and accelerate delivery schedules. 

National Industrial Expansion Reinforces Momentum

In parallel with Baja California’s developments, Jalisco has announced a projected US$625 million investment in new industrial parks totaling more than 800,000 square meters. The state continues to strengthen its position as a non-border export leader, supported by record industrial absorption and strong foreign direct investment inflows in 2025, reported MBN. 

Meanwhile, San Luis Potosí is expanding logistics and manufacturing infrastructure through new industrial parks and transportation projects, including a 118.4km highway concession valued at over US$967 million. The state is also attracting new manufacturing investment, including facilities from Japanese firms that continue to expand their presence in Mexico.

At the national level, members of the Mexican Association of Private Industrial Parks have delivered the first 20 industrial parks under Plan México, representing more than US$711 million in investment and adding approximately 3.5 million m2 of industrial space. The initiative is expected to generate tens of thousands of jobs and support continued expansion of manufacturing and logistics capacity across the country. 

Hines Strengthens Long-Term Presence in Mexico

For Hines, the Tijuana Technology Park reinforces a broader strategy of expanding its industrial footprint across Mexico’s most dynamic manufacturing regions. The company emphasized that its developments are designed to meet international standards while supporting long-term industrial growth in key logistics corridors.

Jiménez said the project reflects the firm’s commitment to supporting regional economic development through high-quality infrastructure. “Tijuana Technology Park reflects our commitment to projects with international standards that contribute to strengthening industrial growth in Baja California and creating conditions for new investment,” he said.

Transitioning toward conclusion, the project highlights how industrial real estate is evolving into a central pillar of Mexico’s nearshoring strategy, particularly in border economies where speed, infrastructure, and connectivity are decisive factors for investment decisions.
