This innovative concept will offer a wide variety of brands, allowing customers to purchase the best outfits, products, and accessories at affordable prices with exclusive discounts, along with an unmatched entertainment offering. Located just 50 minutes south of Mexico City, Grand Outlet Cuernavaca is set to become a key attraction for residents of both Mexico City and the metropolitan area of Morelos.

On the other hand, our operating portfolio's occupancy rate remained at 86%, and our rents per square meter stood at Ps. 382.
In terms of commercialization, we signed 66 new lease agreements totaling 15,123 square meters during 3Q24. Additionally, 64 new leased spaces began operations, adding 27,219 square meters.
