MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS

shape

2021 represented a year of recovery for the Mexican economy and its different sectors, the global outbreak of COVID-19 in the early 2020s put many businesses in jeopardize, by completely altering the lifestyle and consumption habits, forcing to adapt to the new trends, and Acosta Verde, certainly, was not the exception.


Coherent to our philosophy, we faced this challenge, visualizing it as an opportunity, while refocused our vision to the new real, successfully achieving these objectives:

  • Shopping centers with more commercial lines of business and services (requested by our visitors)
  • At the end of 2020, we launched and continued to develop our exclusive online showroom SenderoEnCasa.com, for our tenants, to show their available items, thus promoting hybrid commerce (on-site and online)
  • We further strengthened our relationship with our commercial partners, by providing them with the required support to get through the challenging juncture, while reestablishing people’s confidence to return to their second homes, the Sendero Plazas. This was proof of the resilience of the Sendero concept, as well as of the team’s creativity and commitment to constantly seek for alternatives that will make our visitors return, as they will find everything they need in a safe environment.

  • Thank you very much for your trust, we are sure that the best is yet to come.

    • Shopping Centers:
    • 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.

      Comprises shopping centers’ revenue sources other than leasing of retail space: parking lots, marketing spots, advertising programs, leasing of common areas for events, among others.

      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.


    • Shopping Center Management: Our extensive experience has led us to perfect our shopping center management strategy, which is characterized as dynamic, innovative and 100% focused on customer service.
    • Shopping Center Development: A highly parameterized scheme is followed, which enables an effective control of development schedules and costs.
    • As of April 30, as part of its corporate restructuring, Acosta Verde’s Commercial Division also took over the duties of the Shopping Centers Division, seeking to improve its operational platform in an efficient manner.

    • On August 6, on the back of its strong cash position and with the prospect of growing through acquisitions, Acosta Verde submitted a non-binding offer to acquire 100% of the capital stock of Planigrupo Latam, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Planigrupo”), a developer of shopping centers in Mexico. Acosta Verde made the same offer again on January 20, 2022.
