Juárez’s Industrial Market Closes 2025 with Strong Absorption and Rising Vacancy
The industrial real estate market in Ciudad Juárez closed 2025 with solid leasing activity, marked by high space absorption alongside growing vacancy levels, reflecting a mixed market performance.
During the year, the market recorded 15 transactions totaling approximately 2.49 million square feet of gross absorption, driven mainly by demand from the manufacturing sector, which remained the primary user of industrial facilities.
The industries with the highest space demand included the electrical, paper, and automotive sectors, highlighting the city’s strong integration into export-oriented supply chains and cross-border production networks.
In terms of tenant origin, U.S. companies led demand, followed by firms from China, while Mexican and Indian companies accounted for a smaller share of leased space.
Despite the strong absorption, vacancy rates increased significantly, reaching 7.88%, the highest level nationwide. Available inventory exceeded 6 million square feet, concentrated mainly in southern submarkets of the city.
Industrial rental prices remained elevated, reflecting development costs, strategic location, and sustained demand linked to the nearshoring trend.
On the development side, more than 1.3 million square feet of speculative construction was underway. However, no build-to-suit projects were reported, indicating a cautious stance among developers.
Overall, the industrial market in Juárez closed 2025 with a combination of strong demand and growing supply, within an environment closely tied to manufacturing performance and global economic conditions.
