Nuevo León
The shortest line between a Mexican plant and a US customer, with the industrial base and the supplier depth to use it.
The numbers
The case
Class A rents sit at $7.21 to $7.56 per square metre per month, the second highest on this list, and demand has kept them there. Build-to-suit for EV or aerospace specifications runs $500 to $650 per square metre, so the decision is usually speed against capital rather than cost against cost.
Operator wages around $6.50 an hour buy a workforce already fluent in automotive and appliance production. The constraints are physical: summer grid load and a genuinely water-scarce basin, both of which belong in the feasibility study rather than in the first year of operation.
