Real estate investment is currently one of the safest and most profitable forms of investment out there. Visionary business owners prefer to invest in property instead of taking risks in the stock market; others see it as one of the most reliable options within their investment portfolio. This is largely due to the unbeatable benefits that a company can get by investing in real estate:
Security in the face of adversity: Having invested in a lot, building, or land can safeguard a company's finances during unforeseen challenges or emergency situations. If necessary, you can rent out the property to increase your cash flow or even sell it to reduce your liabilities.
High investment returns: When you invest in commercial real estate, you should be aware of your property's profitability and how to make it work for you. It all depends on the property's purchase conditions, its potential value gains, and the cash flow it generates after being purchased.
Improvement on your company's image: Having your company set up within a business development, industrial park, or other high-value areas can help improve your business's image and brand value. It is also an excellent way to attract customers and to better position yourself in new markets.
Optimized operations: Depending on your industry, a space that truly suits your business needs can optimize your operations. Whether you’re in the commercial, manufacturing or logistics sectors, having the right space is essential for business growth.
For your company to grow and get better investment opportunities within the real estate sector, it is very important to consider external factors, including the development zone in which you are going to invest. Fortunately, Yucatan is a state that has fostered industry growth, and which continues to attract both domestic and foreign investors.
In recent years, the Yucatan government has worked hard to strengthen the state’s business capacities, and continues to work together with business owners to promote developments in Merida and all over the state. The state government is committed to investing in economically active areas so that industries may continue to grow. Some examples of industrial areas in Yucatan include:
The Mérida - Hunucmá Industrial Corridor: A booming industrial area that houses industrial parks and large-scale companies such as Grupo Modelo, Wood Gemix and Uchiyama Manufacturing.
Polo Tecnológico del Bienestar (Technological Well-being Hub): A project in development. This is an area within Yucatan that would have tax incentives for companies in the IT and electronics sectors; this project would contribute to closing the inequality gap that exists with other places in the country, attract new companies, and generate more jobs.
Other growing industrial areas are those located in Kanasin and Uman. Kanasin currently houses a logistics park belonging to the Chinese company Wood Gemix (which has already invested 110 million dollars in Yucatan), while interest in Uman will grow once the new Amazon distribution center is fully operational.
As the name implies, industrial lots are those that are meant and legally authorized to be used industrially. These types of lots require special specifications, from their size to the place where they can be located.
Industrial lots can be used in various ways, but they are especially necessary when your operation includes storage, production, manufacturing, or distribution activities. When it comes to production and manufacturing, operating on land at a distance from the urban area is usually required for proper waste management and to avoid damage to the population.
On the other hand, for storage or distribution activities, locations should be near main roads and be easily accessible. In some special cases, they are required to be a short distance away from airports, customs offices, or ports of arrival of goods, to ensure easier logistics operations.
As previously mentioned, investing in an industrial lot is especially convenient when a company's needs include storage, production, manufacturing, or distribution activities. Industrial lots are essential for owners, directors, or managers looking to improve their operations' efficiency or to expand into a distribution center for their company.
But what should you look for in an industrial lot to ensure you're making the right investment? Some features that make a specific lot a viable option for growth include:
Size: The lot must be large enough to house machinery and equipment, or to provide the necessary storage space.
Adaptability: Lots must be designed to adapt to all business needs, whether for logistics, manufacture, or office use.
Functionality: Functionality depends on the needs of the business; however, the lot should offer all the appropriate services for industries, including low- and medium-voltage electric power, running water, internet, etc.
When a lot is located within an industrial park, you get more benefits. Industrial parks have usually secured all the necessary permits, and offer the right infrastructure for business operations, including street lighting, natural gas lines, wastewater treatment plants, fiber-optic cable, running water, drainage systems, internet, and electric power grid, among others.
Plus, some parks include amenities and services, including showrooms, business centers, coworking areas, green spaces, recreation areas, multipurpose halls, gyms, bathrooms with lockers, sports grounds, 24/7 security, parking, shopping areas, etc.
