Monterrey, NL. The Secretary of Economy, Betsabé Rocha Nieto, said in her conference during the XXX Regio Real Estate, that Nuevo León lives a great moment, by accumulating in four years of government a portfolio of direct investment projects (FDI) for 90,000 million dollars. The arrival of companies, he said, also attracts suppliers that demand industrial, commercial and residential spaces, which raises a challenge: energy availability.
“We have to help the federal government implement alternatives; there is still availability. Investments are coming and we are preparing. We have the renewable energy agency, which drives self -consumption schemes of up to 20 megawatts (MW),” he said.
He explained that this model allows companies to generate electricity, connect to the network and ensure their own supply, while dependence gives them accompaniment in process and efforts for projects to advance.
Real estate boom in Nuevo León
During his conference, Rocha stressed that in the real estate sector investments have been added for 88.3 million dollars of FDI, a figure that doubles when considering national investment. “The 200%real estate sector was shot, especially in the formal sector. We value formality and want to invite companies that have not been able to formalize themselves, to formalize,” he said.
According to the latest statistics, in Nuevo León there are 3,700 establishments of real estate services, which represent 90.5% of micronegocios in the state, he said.
They look for land for new substations
The official explained that the state government promotes a project with the Housing Institute and the National Chamber of the Housing Development and Promotion Industry (Canadevi) to identify land where to install new substations, which allow guaranteeing feasibility for housing development.
“We are working with Eugenio Montiel, director of Fomerrey, and with representative cameras. The deficit of substations is real, but there is a plan to attend it. Housing is a central part of economic development, we cannot separate it from industrial growth,” he said.
Rocha stressed that the challenge is great, but the State is generating alternatives that give certainty to companies and real estate. “The arrival of foreign capital is a historical opportunity and we want to spill to translate into employment, housing and integral economic development,” he said.
