Market Growth Factors
The expanding middle-class population is a key growth driver for the Latin America real estate investment market. Increasing household incomes and financial security are raising demand for residential properties, especially affordable and mid-range housing. Demographic shifts enable more individuals to achieve homeownership, while government initiatives provide financial aid and easier loan access. This trend also fuels demand for commercial properties including retail and entertainment spaces, attracting investors targeting the growing middle-class segment to capitalize on high profit potential.
Industrial real estate investment is significantly accelerating market growth. E-commerce demand is boosting the need for warehouses and distribution centers, driving major investments in logistics infrastructure. Nearshoring trends motivate companies to move production closer to key locations, increasing demand for industrial properties. In 2024, Thor Urbana expanded its industrial portfolio in Mexico by acquiring nine properties with over 1.6 billion square feet of leasable space. The region’s 27% FDI growth in 2023, exceeding USD 36 billion, further underscores robust investor interest.
Infrastructure development and public-private partnerships (PPPs) are vital for stimulating real estate investments. Local governments invest heavily in transportation, utilities, and telecommunications infrastructure, enhancing project attractiveness. PPPs enable collaboration between private investors and governments to develop essential infrastructure such as roads and public transit, improving urban accessibility and livability. Improved transportation links increase real estate values in previously underserved areas, creating growth opportunities. This synergy between infrastructure projects and property investment notably benefits the real estate market outlook.
