Conclusions Q2 2020
The largest surface area of class A finished buildings in Mérida is concentrated in the García Lavín sub-market with 38% of the market share, counting said sub-market with the number of 5 finished buildings.
–García Lavín is the sub-market with the largest inventory of buildings in the construction stage with a (56%) participation in this area, with 2 projects that will be delivered in the third quarter of 2020 and in the first quarter of 2021, followed for the Altabrisa (26%) and the South (18%).
–Of the total number of buildings in the planning stage, the García Lavín sub-market has 1 project, Montejo has 1 project and North Cape has 3 projects in planning.
Based on the corporate market real estate clock, it can be mentioned that the South submarket is depressed with 96% availability of all its inventory which has led to a decrease in the rental price, the booming submarkets are Montejo and García Lavín while Altabrisa and North Cape are on the rise offering new corporate projects.
-The percentage of availability at the moment is 16%, the García Lavín and Montejo sub markets are the sub markets with the highest occupancy and demand.
Pre-leasing in buildings under construction remains active with 17,173.69 m² pre-leased in all submarkets.
–We consider that the new supply of buildings under construction may generate a gradual decline in prices in the next two years, however the new rents will have as determining variables the price, the quality of their products and the type of tenant.
- Due to the situation our country is going through, some of the corporate buildings were affected since they had a slight increase in their availability compared to the previous study.
–According to the previous study, inventory availability has decreased, this again shows that Mérida is a growing city even with the current situation and continues to be attractive for national and international companies.
