Plaza Sendero Chihuahua Photo Gallery

Chihuahua's metropolitan area encompasses 937,000 residents with 1% population growth, providing a stable demographic base characterized by middle-income households (median 45,000 MXN quarterly income) and GDP per capita of 12,500 USD. The mall's positioning supports accessibility via major urban roadways, facilitating draws from both city center and suburban areas. Annual footfall reached 4.3 million in 2023, translating to roughly 11,800 daily visitors, with peaks up to 15,000 on weekends driven by entertainment and family-oriented anchors, though traffic can vary with regional economic fluctuations from manufacturing sectors.

Occupancy stood at 94% in 2023, above the portfolio's 92.9% prior year and regional 93% benchmark, reflecting strong leasing demand and efficient space utilization across 25,351 sqm GLA. The tenant mix prioritizes anchors like Smart (grocery) and Cinépolis (16.4% of similar portfolio space), with top 10 tenants occupying 48.6% including apparel (Coppel, Suburbia) and services. Recent tenant replacements enhanced entertainment categories, boosting dwell time by 32%, but reliance on national chains may limit diversity in weaker economic periods, with operational quality maintained through 100% billing collection efficiency.

Chihuahua's retail market gains from nearshoring-induced industrial growth, elevating purchasing power, yet faces saturation in categories like apparel amid competition from premium venues (e.g., Fashion Mall at 600+ MXN/sqm rents vs. Sendero's 200-400 MXN range). Lease terms average 5.4 years with 8.6% spreads on renewals, offering cost-effective entry for mid-tier retailers. Risks include full GLA exposure to 100-year flood zones, 100% water stress in operations (15,279 m³ withdrawn in 2023), and aging regional infrastructure potentially impacting accessibility during adverse weather, alongside 1-2% annual economic volatility.
