Mexico City, January 27 2026. With the goal of expanding energy‑efficient industrial infrastructure across Mexico’s main economic hubs to support job creation, strengthen local value chains, and advance the country’s sustainable development agenda, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) is investing in FIBRA Macquarie, one of Mexico’s leading developers and operators of industrial real estate.
Industrial parks play a critical role in inclusive economic development in Mexico; they currently support over 3 million jobs across approximately 480 parks hosting more than 4,000 companies, according to the Mexican Association of Private Industrial Parks (AMPIP). Each additional one million square meters of Gross Leasable Area can create several thousand permanent, direct formal jobs, underscoring the sector’s capacity to catalyze quality employment and strengthen local value chains.
Sanaa Abouzaid, Regional Director for Mexico and Central America, said: “Industrial parks serve not only as hubs for investment and logistics, but also as powerful engines of quality employment across the country. Through this financing, IFC is supporting energy efficient industrial infrastructure that will help Mexico fully leverage the opportunities of nearshoring while promoting sustainable development and job creation.”
Andrew McDonald-Hughes, CFO of FIBRA Macquarie, said: “We are pleased to deepen our partnership with IFC. This facility will advance FIBRA Macquarie’s development program across Mexico’s core industrial markets. It also underscores our ongoing commitment to integrating sustainability into all elements of our business.”
The program will support FIBRA Macquarie in achieving its goal to increase the overall energy efficiency of its properties. Per the terms of the sustainability-linked criteria, the Company secures five basis points savings if they achieve a certain threshold of certification per year.
IFC continues to expand its investment footprint in Mexico, working with leading private sector players to create jobs, set sector standards and accelerate sustainable growth.
Note to editors:
IFC is providing a 50 million loan to support FIBRA Macquarie’s 2025–2027 development program, aimed at building new energy efficient industrial parks across key economic hubs including Mexico City, Monterrey, Ciudad Juárez, Reynosa, Tijuana, and Guadalajara. In 2024, IFC provided a sustainability‑linked loan to FIBRA Macquarie for US$150 million; with this new investment, the total lending relationship reaches US$200 million.
This project with FIBRA Macquarie will be the first global pilot for IFC’s new DRIVE program, an initiative that helps real estate companies improve their cost and carbon efficiency across their entire portfolio, not just in individual buildings. As part of this work, IFC is introducing a new “DRIVE to ZERO Readiness Score,” a simple way to measure, benchmark and communicate how prepared a company is to reduce its emissions over time.
