  • The Huamantla site is presented as the most advanced of 15 planned Polos de Desarrollo and is slated to be delivered on February 28, 2026.
  • Authorities detailed a 53‑hectare complex backed by a stated investment of about $540 million.
  • Roughly 80% of the space is reported as committed through six letters of intent, with named participants including Knipping Automotive, Servicios Integrados y Administración de Alta Gerencia, and Comercializadora Ragón.
