In 2007, Hines was hired to develop Ecologistics 1, a one-story, 259,140-square-foot industrial warehouse. Strategically located on a 1,236-acre reserve on the south end of San Luis PotosĂ’s industrial corridor, the property offers geographic efficiencies for light manufacturing and logistics companies with direct access to the NAFTA Highway and the principle north-south railway connecting the U.S. with Mexico.
During development and construction, Hines incorporated a complete set of eco-friendly components into this state-of-the-art structure. In fact, Ecologistics 1 was the first industrial facility in Mexico to achieve LEED® certification under the U.S. Green Building Council’s Core & Shell rating system.
