OVERVIEW
•
FIBRAs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) and CKDs
(Capital Development Certificates) in Mexico
represent 1.4% of GDP.
•
The aggressive acquisition of premium properties by
FIBRAs has led to the compression of cap rates,
particularly in the Class AAA offices market.
•
Given the increase in interest rates by the U.S.
Federal Reserve, we expect a decompression of cap
rates of around 50 basis points across the different
sectors.
The liquidity of FIBRAS in Mexico has provided a
boost to the expansion phase of the real estate cycle
across all segments. The most obvious example can
be found in the Mexico City office market, with 1.6
million square meters of class A and A+ space
registered as under construction, and 1.3 million
square meters of construction work planned over
the next five years. Net absorption (demand for
existing spaces) reached a record high of 354,000
square meters in 2014 while lease and sale closed
deals (gross absorption) including pre-leases saw a
record of almost 430,000 square meters.

*Indicates number of rooms.
In Q1 2015, the assets held by FIBRAs were roughly equal to the foreign direct investment (FDI) in Mexico
during 2014, with almost US$22 billion of assets compared to US$23 billion of FDI, thus signifying the
importance of these instruments within the national economy. These instruments have also yielded resources
of almost US$10 billion, as reflected in the acquisitions reported in recent months and the aggressive
acquisition plan for premium property across all segments.
There are currently 40 CKDs in existence, raising approximately US$7.4 billion since 2009, of which
approximately 28% is channeled to specialized Real Estate certificates. We expect investment in these
instruments to grow in light of the announcement made by the financial authorities of simplification of the
Afores procedures to ensure direct invest in CKDs without the need to go through an intermediary.
