Small warehouses located in strategic locations that serve to quickly distribute the merchandise sold online, are the type of properties that in this context of new business reality have gained ground.
When analyzing the Guatemalan market, it is reported that one of the geographic regions in which the productive activity of this sector is increasing is composed of Villa Nueva, Villa Canales and San Miguel Petapa, municipalities of the department of Guatemala that are located south of the capital of the country. This area is a commercial node that has developed quickly in recent years.
Calidad Inmobiliaria announced that it will build in Condado Naranjo, municipality of Mixco, a logistic center of 72 warehouses distributed in a four level tower.
According to information provided by the project's directors, the new industrial complex will be called "Districentro" and is currently in the launching stage.
It is estimated that the increase in online sales and the greater trend towards telecommuting will result in a lower demand for commercial premises and offices, exerting downward pressure on the price level of rents in the long term.
The quarantines decreed in the Central American countries because of the covid-19 outbreak, have caused a transformation in the operations of the companies, in the ways of working and in the models of business and sales.
Guatemalan businessmen say that the boom in vertical housing is changing the demand for storage services in mini warehouses, which are increasingly sought out by families.
The supply of storage space exceeds 3.6 million square meters, distributed among 865 warehouses categorized as industrial parks, office-warehouses, individual warehouses and mini warehouses.
A study carried out by the Warehouse Union of the Chamber of Industry of Guatemala reports that 865 warehouses are registered in the country, of which 37 correspond to industrial parks, 706 to individual warehouses, 106 to ofibodegas, offices and warehouses complexes, and 16 to self storage facilities.
