Mr. Carlos de Icaza

Over the past two decades, Mexico's real estate sector has been a pivotal force in the country's economic growth. As the world's 14th-largest economy and the top trading partner of the United States under the USMCA, Mexico is strategically positioned to attract significant real estate investment. Its ideal location for nearshoring and geopolitics offers unique opportunities to strengthen North American supply chains. In this session, Carlos de Icaza, chair of ULI Mexico's district council and member of ULI's Sustainable Development Council, will engage with leading real estate investors to explore Mexico's nearshoring potential, cross-border investment opportunities, and the key challenges facing the sector.
