FIBRA Macquarie México Expands Development Program With New Tijuana Project
New industrial Park with potential for up to four buildings totaling approximately 750k square feet of Class A GLA
Shovel-ready land with secured energy strategy
MEXICO CITY, June 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FIBRA Macquarie México (FIBRA Macquarie) (BMV: FIBRAMQ) announced it will develop up to four new Class A industrial buildings with a total potential GLA of approximately 750 thousand square feet on a 16-hectare land parcel in the Pacifico/Libramiento submarket of Tijuana.
This development is in a prime industrial corridor, offering strategic connectivity to two major US border crossings. The park is well-located within the surrounding area, providing access to skilled labor to support both manufacturing and logistics activities.
"This investment reinforces our commitment to expanding our development portfolio while maintaining our disciplined approach to capital deployment," said Simon Hanna, FIBRA Macquarie's chief executive officer. "The addition strengthens our presence in a strategic submarket of Tijuana, a well-located area with direct highway access. Our development strategy continues to focus on best-in-class sustainable construction with secured energy rights. Furthermore, we are pleased to be partnering again with Grupo FRISA, with whom we have enjoyed a strong and successful partnership for more than a decade. By maintaining our selective investment criteria and focus on strategic capital allocation, we're positioned to generate compelling returns that should enhance both our operational capabilities and financial results over the long term."
This is a 50-50 joint venture between FIBRA Macquarie and Grupo FRISA, who is currently FIBRA Macquarie's JV partner in nine of its retail properties. Grupo FRISA is contributing the land parcel to the project, which minimizes FIBRA Macquarie's immediate capital deployment requirements. The total investment is anticipated to be approximately US$88.0 million, with 50% of that to be progressively contributed by FIBRA Macquarie. The project is expected to deliver an NOI yield on cost of between 9% and 11%, in line with FIBRA Macquarie's target returns.
FIBRA Macquarie's scalable internal management platform, MPA, which has a strong existing local presence in Tijuana comprising specialist property management, leasing and engineering professionals, will provide on-going services for the project, enabling NOI margin optimization.
The land site is shovel-ready with initial earthworks in progress. The first planned building comprises approximately 200 thousand square feet, targeting a minimum LEED® Gold certification.

Why Laopu Gold Is One Of The Hottest Luxury Stocks Right Now
Beijing,China Most of you know by now that I've long emphasized the two powerful forces driving gold demand: the Fear Trade and the Love Trade. The Fear Trade is what most Western investors are familiar with. It's the flight to safety during times of uncertainty, driven by concerns over inflation, interest rates, geopolitical risk and more. Gold has historically been sought as a safe haven during crises and recessions. The Love Trade, on the other hand, is based on cultural affinity, religious tradition and rising household incomes, particularly in India and China, the two biggest consumers of the precious metal. Accounting for roughly 60% of global gold demand, the Love Trade is about buying physical gold as a symbol of status and celebration. This brings me to Laopu Gold, a Hong Kong-listed company we recently took a position in, as we believe it sits at the very heart of China's Love Trade. Founded in 2009, Laopu Gold is a homegrown luxury brand with a deep focus on traditional Chinese goldsmithing. Its name, Laopu, literally means 'Old Shop,' a nod to the company's emphasis on cultural pride and nostalgia. Laopu's business model involves selling high-purity 24-karat gold pieces using a fixed-price, high-margin model. More than just a jewelry retailer, Laopu is selling exclusivity and exquisite design, which may be why some people think of the company as the 'Hermès of gold.' The stunning results speak for themselves. Shares of Laopu Gold have surged over 2,300% since 2024 IPO Its stock has soared more than 2,300% over the 12-month period through June 4, 2025. Year-to-date, it's up 315%—all while much of the Chinese economy has seen lukewarm recovery at best. In an investment note dated May 28, JPMorgan projects Laopu's annual revenue will reach nearly $20 billion this year, representing a 135% increase over 2024. Net income is forecast to reach $3.8 billion, up from last year's $1.5 billion. Perhaps even more impressively, the company reported a gross margin of over 41%, nearly double that of Chow Tai Fook, China's largest traditional jeweler. Laopu's average store revenue exceeded 100 million yuan, the highest in the country for gold retail. It wasn't just Laopu's stock performance that drew us to the company; it was also the story. As I've shared with you many times before, gold plays an important, auspicious role in Chinese culture. The yellow metal is given at births, worn at weddings and handed down as heirlooms. Young Chinese consumers aged 18–34 now account for over a third of gold jewelry sales, according to Bloomberg's Chongjing Li. Laopu has tapped directly into this demand. Their boutiques—36 of them so far, with at least eight more planned this year—are strategically located in some of China's most prestigious malls and shopping districts, with lines sometimes stretching around the block. Their designs often go viral on Chinese social media. Since the start of this century, China's GDP per capita has increased over 13-fold, from under $1,000 in 2000 to approximately $12,600 in 2023. (For comparison's sake, India's GDP per capita has grown sixfold over the same period, or less than half as fast.) While there are signs of a slowdown, especially due to the real estate and demographic headwinds, we believe China's long-term picture still supports growing discretionary spending in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities. That's where Laopu operates, and that's where the luxury gold market is most resilient. China's GDP per capita has increased 13-fold this century We believe Laopu is well-positioned to benefit from a shift in Chinese consumer behavior toward premium domestic brands. Much like how Moutai dominates high-end liquor or how BYD is overtaking Western electric vehicles (EVs) in China, Laopu is making the case that a Chinese company can lead in luxury jewelry. They've also begun international expansion, with stores opened in Singapore's Marina Bay Sands and Hong Kong's IFC Mall. No stock goes up forever, of course, and Laopu's meteoric rise has raised a few eyebrows. The company trades at earnings multiples some would call elevated (trailing 12-month price-to-earnings of 87x), and skeptics have compared Laopu to a 'story stock' riding retail hype. We're watching the fundamentals closely. But as investors who've followed the gold market for decades, we've seen that price often follows passion—especially in culturally driven demand markets. Laopu isn't a typical miner or ETF proxy for gold prices. We believe it's a pure play on China's cultural and increasingly affluent relationship with gold. And at a time when Western luxury brands are losing ground in China, Laopu's ascent feels like a secular trend, not a speculative flash. It's riding the Love Trade, and it's doing so in the most important gold market on Earth.

Gold Consolidates as Traders Eye U.S.-China Trade Talks
2339 GMT — Gold consolidates in the early Asian session as traders eye the U.S.-China trade talks being held in London. Investors await clarity on these talks, FFA Kings' Fadi Al Kurdi says in an email. These negotiations have kept risk sentiment relatively underpinned, curbing the upside potential for the precious metal's price, the founder says. At the same time, gold's price downside may be limited with U.S. fiscal worries still a headwind for the dollar, he adds. Spot gold is little changed at $3,326.11/oz. (
