FIBRA Macquarie México Expands Development Program With New Tijuana Project
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.

Release Date: April 30, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. FIBRA Macquarie (DBMBF) reported record NOI and AFFO in U.S. dollar terms for the first quarter of 2025. The company achieved industrial releasing spreads of 17% and completed 1.6 million square feet of industrial leasing activity. The retail portfolio showed year-over-year occupancy gains, closing the quarter at 93% with average monthly rental rates increasing by 5.2%. FIBRA Macquarie (DBMBF) maintains a strong liquidity position with available liquidity of $420 million and no scheduled debt maturities until September 2026. The company reaffirmed its guidance for cash distributions in FY25 of MXN2.45 per certificate, indicating a well-covered distribution in the sector. Occupancy rates have been declining, with some markets like Juarez and Villahermosa experiencing softer demand. The macroeconomic landscape presents challenges, including recent changes in tariff policies affecting trade and investment environments. New leasing activity is being impacted by broader market uncertainty, particularly regarding tariff policy. The company faces a challenging leasing environment in certain markets, with limited short-term lease prospects. Retention rates have decreased from 89% to 79%, reflecting some tenant move-outs due to expansions or operational adjustments. Q: Can you provide some color on how the lease-up, both at the pre-leasing level and after delivery of new properties, is going? Has this changed your preferences for capital allocation? A: Simon Hanna, CEO: Recent deliveries in Juarez and Villahermosa are facing challenges due to softer market conditions. We are cautious with new construction starts but continue to prepare existing land banks for future development. We are also exploring opportunistic investments, particularly in land with energy strategies and single asset purchases in Mexico City. Share buybacks are considered but balanced with other investment opportunities. Q: When do you expect occupancy to stabilize, and are you reaching out to tenants for early renewals? A: Simon Hanna, CEO: We are comfortable with current occupancy trends despite a slight decline. We have proactively pursued accelerated renewals, bringing forward over 600,000 square feet of scheduled expirations. We aim to maintain current occupancy levels and are optimistic about bringing forward more renewals from 2026 into 2025. Q: Are tenants looking to change lease terms, and are there specific industries showing incremental demand? A: Simon Hanna, CEO: We haven't seen significant shifts in lease terms. The leasing environment is subdued, but we see opportunities, particularly with auto parts tenants. The demand is consistent across various sectors, though at lower levels compared to previous years. Q: How is the retail portfolio performing, and what is the outlook for foot traffic and tenant performance? A: Simon Hanna, CEO: Foot traffic is not a primary indicator of tenant performance. Despite a soft quarter for cinema releases, retail performance was strong with 5% renewal spreads and stable occupancy at 93%. We expect continued NOI growth and stable occupancy for the remainder of the year. Q: Can you elaborate on the drivers behind the occupancy drop and when you expect recovery? A: Simon Hanna, CEO: The drop was mainly in Monterrey due to tenants relocating for expansion. These were planned move-outs from 2024. We have prospects for backfilling these spaces and expect no significant trend shifts. The overall leasing activity has decreased due to market uncertainty.
