Querétaro

Querétaro’s growth as a Bajío manufacturing and aerospace hub has pulled real estate activity along with it: industrial parks, logistics facilities, corporate campuses, and land acquisitions by companies expanding operations in the region. Because Querétaro sits well outside the coastal and border restricted zone defined by Article 27 of the Mexican Constitution, foreign investors can generally acquire real property here by direct deed – no fideicomiso (bank trust) is required, which simplifies both the acquisition structure and the ongoing compliance load compared with a coastal or border purchase.

Real estate lawyer in Querétaro

IBG Legal advises companies and investors acquiring industrial, logistics, and corporate real estate in Querétaro as part of a broader Bajío operation. The work sits alongside the firm’s corporate advisory practice in the region: structuring the acquiring entity – a Mexican subsidiary, a joint venture, or another vehicle suited to the investor’s tax and liability profile – running title due diligence on the target property, including chain of title and registered encumbrances, negotiating purchase and lease agreements, and coordinating the notarial closing and Public Registry filing.

For manufacturing and aerospace tenants, the real estate transaction rarely stands alone: it needs to align with supply agreements, environmental and land-use permits, and the corporate structure already in place for the Mexican operation. Tax exposure on the transaction – ISR on the transfer, IVA where construction is involved, and municipal ISAI – is reviewed as part of the same engagement, not as an afterthought once the deed is signed.

The team works in Spanish, English, and French, with partner-level attention on every file.
