Premium offices for international companies on the rise

Turner & Townsend noted that Mexico City maintains a competitive position within the global market for high-specification corporate office space due to the growth of nearshoring, the arrival of international companies, and the expansion of the corporate market.

The Mexican capital recorded average costs of US$2,237 per square meter for premium corporate projects, ranking 40th out of 58 cities analyzed worldwide.

The report indicated that New York City remained the world’s most expensive market for high-end office fit-outs, at US$5,885 per square meter, followed by London at US$5,876 and Buenos Aires at US$5,861.

In Latin America, Buenos Aires topped the regional ranking, driven primarily by inflation and rising import costs for materials.

According to Turner & Townsend, the Mexican market is undergoing a transformation driven by the expansion of corporate operations associated with nearshoring and increased demand for Triple-A office space, which is beginning to put pressure on interior construction costs, technical specifications, and technological requirements.

This transformation has spurred projects with higher quality standards, acoustic solutions, advanced audiovisual infrastructure, premium amenities, and more flexible designs.
