FIBRA Macquarie M\u00e9xico announced the expansion and extension of its sustainability-linked, uncommitted revolving credit facility with BBVA M\u00e9xico, increasing<\/a> the total amount to US$200 million. According to a BBVA press release, the facility\u2019s maturity date was extended by five years to April 15, 2031.<\/p>\n

Borrowings under the facility carry a variable interest rate equal to the 90-day Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a credit spread of 105 basis points. Through this transaction, the real estate investment trust strengthened its financial flexibility and increased total available liquidity to more than US$700 million, including both committed and uncommitted credit facilities.<\/p>\n

Company management stated that the move maintains an efficient financing cost structure while aligning capital strategy with environmental performance targets. By securing the extension through 2031, FIBRA Macquarie aims to ensure long-term access to capital to support operational requirements and strategic growth initiatives within the Mexican real estate market.<\/p>\n

IFC Backs FIBRA Macquarie’s Green Parks Plan<\/p>\n

The BBVA agreement represents the latest in a series of large-scale investments in FIBRA Macquarie by prominent institutional investors, highlighting market confidence in the company\u2019s efforts to advance low-emission infrastructure in Mexico. On Jan. 27, 2026, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) announced<\/a>\u00a0a US$50 million loan to support the company\u2019s 2025\u20132027 development program. The financing is designated for the construction of new energy-efficient industrial parks in key manufacturing and logistics hubs, including Mexico City, Monterrey, Ciudad Ju\u00e1rez, Reynosa, Tijuana, and Guadalajara.<\/p>\n

The agreement builds<\/a>\u00a0on a previous sustainability-linked facility provided by the IFC in July 2024. That earlier US$150 million loan supported the 2023\u20132025 financing program, which included the development of green industrial parks and energy-efficiency upgrades for existing assets. With the addition of the January 2026 loan, the total lending relationship between the IFC and FIBRA Macquarie has reached US$200 million.<\/p>\n

International Finance Corporation Regional Director for Mexico and Central America Sanaa Abouzaid framed the investment as a strategy to convert Mexico\u2019s nearshoring opportunities into broader economic development. She noted that industrial parks function not only as logistics and investment hubs, but also as engines for quality employment. According to the Mexican Association of Private Industrial Parks (AMPIP), industrial parks currently support more than 3 million jobs across approximately 480 parks hosting over 4,000 companies. AMPIP data indicates that each additional one million square meters of gross leasable area can generate several thousand permanent formal jobs.<\/p>\n

The IFC financing includes sustainability-linked criteria designed to drive performance across the portfolio. Under the agreement, FIBRA Macquarie can obtain a five-basis-point interest reduction if it meets annual energy-efficiency certification thresholds. Andrew McDonald-Hughes, CFO, FIBRA Macquarie\u00a0 stated that the company is pleased to deepen its partnership with the IFC and noted that the facility reinforces its commitment to integrating sustainability across its core industrial markets.<\/p>\n

As of Dec. 31, 2025, FIBRA Macquarie\u2019s portfolio consisted of 245 industrial properties and 17 retail properties located across 20 cities in 16 Mexican states. The company primarily focuses on stabilized, income-producing assets in the industrial, retail, and office sectors. Within the retail segment, nine of the 17 properties are held through a 50\/50 joint venture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FIBRA Macquarie M\u00e9xico announced the expansion and extension of its sustainability-linked, uncommitted revolving credit facility with BBVA M\u00e9xico,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[123],"tags":[10545,10547,148,2538,10532,1716,1715,159,10537,10529,2533,10543,10535,10531,10541,243,10530,10364,247,4524,2242,10544,10536,10542,10539,10533,10546,10540,8139,1709,10538,2578,10534],"class_list":{"0":"post-19486","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bbva","8":"tag-ampip","9":"tag-andrew-mcdonald-hughes","10":"tag-bbva","11":"tag-bbva-mexico","12":"tag-ciudad-juarez","13":"tag-decarbonization","14":"tag-energy-efficiency","15":"tag-esg","16":"tag-fibra","17":"tag-fibra-macquarie-mexico","18":"tag-finance-fintech","19":"tag-green-building","20":"tag-guadalajara","21":"tag-ifc","22":"tag-industrial-real-estate","23":"tag-infrastructure","24":"tag-international-finance-corporation","25":"tag-logistics","26":"tag-mexico","27":"tag-mexico-city","28":"tag-monterrey","29":"tag-nearshoring","30":"tag-real-estate-investment-trust","31":"tag-retail-real-estate","32":"tag-revolving-credit-facility","33":"tag-reynosa","34":"tag-sanaa-abouzaid","35":"tag-sofr","36":"tag-supply-chain","37":"tag-sustainability","38":"tag-sustainability-linked-loan","39":"tag-sustainable-finance","40":"tag-tijuana"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
