New industrial bet arrives in Queretaro

QUERETARO - Grupo FRISA and Parks Industrial laid the first stone of Ciudad Marqués Business Park, an industrial park south of Santiago de Querétaro, which is part of the Ciudad Marqués master project.

The complex will be located in the municipality of El Marqués, Querétaro, which is considered a hub in the Bajío region. According to official information, it will have 780 thousand square meters (m2) of gross rentable area and will require an investment of US$887 million.

During the ceremony, Carlos Rivera Torres, CEO of FRISA, shared that the Taiwanese company EOI, a global leader in optoelectronic technology, will be the first to settle in Ciudad Marqués Business Park, generating up to 20 thousand jobs.

In this context, he thanked the presence of Fanny Huang, CEO of EOI, and Allan Kuo, general manager of the company in North America.

In addition, he stated that they continue to develop the necessary infrastructure to accompany the project, including 18 thousand homes next to Ruba with all services and 120 thousand m2 of gross rentable area for commercial spaces.

“Ciudad Marqués is designed to create a harmonious environment between residents and businesses. Here it will be possible to live, work and prosper, embodying innovation and sustainability in the community.”

During his presentation, Allan Kuo remarked his confidence in the developers of this industrial park, as well as in the investment climate in Querétaro. He also detailed that the region is key for the manufacture and distribution of lighting modules and LED components for the automotive industry.

“This is the first investment made by EOI in Mexico, which represents US$70 million,” said the businessman.
