NAI Mexico

What NAI Mexico does

NAI Mexico is a privately held industrial real estate services firm headquartered in Tijuana, Mexico, operating since 1992 as the Mexican affiliate of NAI Global, a top-3 global industrial real estate network. The company provides a comprehensive suite of services organized around five core divisions: Brokerage Services (tenant/buyer and landlord/seller representation), Business Intelligence (market analytics with 70+ key indicators across 26 destination markets), Capital Markets (portfolio sales, joint ventures, sale leasebacks, and capital raises), NAI Mexico Build (project management, architectural design, engineering, construction management, and development services), and Supply Chain Solutions (operations relocations, network modeling, nearshoring strategy, and free trade zone analyses). The company serves enterprise clients including Caterpillar, Rexnord, Bose, Siemens, and Steelcase, supporting their industrial facility leasing, acquisition, and expansion decisions across Mexico and Latin America.

The firm's core technology is its proprietary Business Intelligence platform, which tracks over 70 key indicators (lease rates, absorption, available space, labor rates, infrastructure, transportation, government incentives) across 26 Mexican destination markets and enables comparison of 150+ variables nationwide. Supporting tools include an Availability Assessment Tool for matching client requirements to available buildings and a Total Cost of Operations Calculator for financial modeling. The company operates 16 offices across all major industrial destinations in Mexico and Latin America with 60+ sales and staff professionals, providing full national coverage with local expertise. This physical infrastructure, combined with the data platform, enables multi-market coordination for enterprise clients executing complex site selection and expansion projects.

NAI Mexico generates revenue through four primary streams: transaction-based brokerage commissions from tenant and landlord representation; professional services fees for advisory, consulting, market intelligence, and supply chain solutions; project management and development fees through NAI Mexico Build; and capital markets fees from portfolio transactions, joint ventures, and sale leasebacks. Pricing is custom and project-based, dependent on transaction value, scope of services, market, and square footage. The go-to-market approach combines enterprise field sales with direct-to-client engagement via the company website, quarterly market trend reports, case studies, and interactive business intelligence tools. The company has completed over 1 million square feet of projects across its history, with recent notable transactions including a 316,000 SF dual lease expansion for Caterpillar in Monterrey and a 220,000 SF build-to-suit for Rexnord.
