Logistic Properties of the Americas Enters into Master Forward Purchase
Agreement for Strategically Located Class A Industrial Real Estate Assets in Mexico
Mexico City, Mexico – March 9, 2026 - Logistic Properties of the Americas (NYSE American: LPA) (together with its subsidiaries, "LPA" or the "Company"), announced today that it has entered into a forward purchase agreement for a portfolio of Class A industrial properties strategically located in Tepeji del Río, State of Hidalgo, Mexico.
The transaction was executed through a Master Agreement, representing an approximately US$200 million investment, pursuant to which LPA will progressively acquire stabilized industrial assets within Central Park 57, a large‑scale industrial and logistics park strategically located along the Mexico–Querétaro Highway (Federal Highway 57), a key logistics corridor. The asset is being developed and sponsored by Mexico City-based Fortem Capital, the institutional owner and master developer of Central Park 57, the first operating building of which is pending stabilization of approximately 153,400 square feet.
Central Park 57 has been designed as a modern, institutional‑grade logistics and manufacturing hub, with Class A specifications, on‑site infrastructure and utilities, controlled access and security, and scalability in a phased development. It is the only logistics park on Route 57 with simultaneous northbound and southbound access within a 200-mile radius. Upon completion, Central Park 57 is expected to comprise approximately 2.1 million square feet of gross leasable area.
The park’s location places it approximately 20 kilometers from the Tepotzotlán toll, with efficient connectivity to Mexico City, the State of Mexico, Querétaro, and the Bajío, positioned to benefit from ongoing demand related to nearshoring activities, e‑commerce growth, and third‑party logistics providers.
“This transaction reflects our disciplined, partner‑centric growth strategy. Joining forces with a leading institutional real estate investor like Fortem Capital to thoughtfully and systematically increase LPA’s presence in Mexico, both accelerates and de‑risks expansion in this market. Our strategic partnership with a leading local investor like Fortem showcases the creativity of our executive team in sourcing, structuring, and executing high‑quality industrial investments,” said Esteban Saldarriaga, Chief Executive Officer of LPA. “Central Park 57 combines scale, a strategic location, reliable power, and access infrastructure in a way that is aligned directly with the demanding specifications of our customers and reinforces our conviction in Mexico as a key market within our cross-border platform.”
The acquisition of Central Park 57 will be completed through sequential closings, subject to customary conditions precedent, including completion of construction works, lease stabilization, and regulatory approvals, as applicable. Each asset is expected to be leased in US dollars, delivered as a fully developed, Class A industrial facility that meets institutional construction, safety, and operational standards.
“This agreement reflects Fortem Capital’s disciplined approach to originating and developing institutional-quality real estate platforms in strategic corridors, in alignment with structural demand drivers and long-term capital partnerships. Central Park 57 is being executed under rigorous design, operational and governance standards, consistent with the institutional framework applied to this development,” said Ignacio García de Quevedo, Managing Director of Fortem Capital.
“Mexico continues to benefit from its unparalleled proximity to vital North American supply chains, along with sustained nearshoring and logistics demand. The unique location of Central Park 57, in particular, offers a cost‑effective alternative within the greater Mexico City industrial real estate market,” said Eduardo Nakash, Country Manager for Mexico. “The park provides the connectivity, infrastructure, and local skilled labor that high-grade global and regional tenants are seeking, and it will substantially expand and diversify LPA’s regional platform as well as consolidate our presence in the country.”
