Leasing of Premises and Common Areas: Our Sendero Plazas are strategically located on major avenues in metropolitan areas and secondary cities in Mexico (where there is an under-penetration of community shopping centers), providing easy access to visitors and mall visibility. This, together with its strategic tenant composition (mix of essential businesses and services coupled with diverse entertainment options) and its focus on delivering a unique shopping experience (first class amenities, events, promotions, among others), ensure a steady visitor traffic, allowing our tenants to grow hand in hand with Acosta Verde.

Parking Slots: By charging for parking slots, we capitalize on the high vehicle traffic brought about by the high visitor traffic at the Plazas Sendero, bringing a complementary revenue stream.
Advertising: In the same way, we tap into visitor affluence by offering brands the opportunity to advertise inside or outside our shopping centers, giving them a great opportunity to reach out to their customers and influence more directly in their consumption decisions.
