What is an industrial park?
An industrial park is a planned development of industrial land and buildings with shared infrastructure — truck-grade roads, power, water, drainage and telecommunications — security and internal rules, managed by a developer or operator. Companies buy or lease inside the park and share its services.
What an industrial park offers
- Infrastructure
- Truck-grade roads, power, water and drainage; many parks also have fiber and water treatment.
- Security
- Controlled access, guards and perimeter fencing, depending on the park.
- Rules
- Construction, appearance and use rules that protect every occupant.
- Management and maintenance
- An operator maintains common areas and charges a maintenance fee; check whether the advertised price includes it.
Industrial park, industrial zone and corridor
- Industrial park
- A planned development with common management and rules; its buildings and land are sold or leased within the same estate.
- Industrial zone
- An area the municipal urban development plan designates for industrial use. It can include parks as well as stand-alone buildings with no common management.
- Industrial corridor
- A group of municipalities and zones along a transport axis. The directory groups the Monterrey metropolitan area into east, west and north.

Is it more expensive to lease inside an industrial park?
In Santa Catarina, the median asking rent for warehouses and industrial buildings inside industrial parks is MXN 101/m² per month (362 listings) and outside parks MXN 112/m² (312 listings).
These are different buildings — size, age and specifications vary — so the gap does not measure what being in a park is worth. The comparison is made only within one municipality and with at least 20 listings on each side.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What happens in an industrial park?
Manufacturing, assembly, storage and distribution. Companies buy or lease land and buildings inside the park and share services such as security and the upkeep of common areas.
What is the difference between an industrial park and an industrial zone?
An industrial zone is a land use set by the municipality; an industrial park is a specific development with common management and rules. A park usually sits inside an industrial zone, but not every industrial zone is a park.
