Promote cooperation actions, training and promotion of integrity and development of trust in the real estate sector of industrial parks , the president of the Association of Industrial Parks of the State of Jalisco (APIEJ), Jorge Enrique Suárez Navarro and Diego Gabriel Espinosa de los Monteros De la Torre, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Kartensoll México, signed a collaboration agreement. Through this agreement, the industrial warehouses in Jalisco will have a certificate of real estate trust, which guarantees asset protection to clients and investors, as well as generating trust, transparency and investment security in the industrial real estate sector. In addition, the bases and general criteria were established on which APIEJ and Kartensoll will carry out cooperation, training, collaboration and promotion actions on matters of integrity and development of trust in the real estate sector of industrial parks, for developer companies with a presence in the industrial sector. Thus, it is intended to achieve an alliance through which good practices are regulated, the bonds of trust between project development companies are improved and renewed, in addition to the execution of work, suppliers and their entire supply chain, as well as generating certainty for investors and the end consumer. Javier Lemarroy Mendoza, General Director of APIEJ, said that this signature generates confidence in the entire association, made up of 43 industrial parks, owned by 32 developers, who have invested more than 2.9 billion dollars in Jalisco in industrial properties, whether land with industrial land use or in built industrial warehouses. APIEJ represents more than 2,850 hectares of land invested in the State and the inventory of industrial warehouses is made up of more than four million square meters built, for which, the main strategies of the association are to provide promotion and prospect new tenants that land in industrial parks, national and international companies. Diego Gabriel Espinosa, president of Kartensoll Mexico, said that the idea of this certificate arose five years ago, after undergoing the ISO 37001 certification, related to anti-bribery and conflict of interest, specifically in the real estate sector, being one of the pioneer companies that have it at a national level, since they realized that there was no real estate trust certificate in the Mexican Accreditation Entity. That is why they promoted this standard, which was presented, approved and authorized, becoming part of the catalog as the Real Estate Trust Certificate (CCI), with the idea of caring for and safeguarding the interests of the final consumer and investor, so that they look for real estate trust developers.
