Mexico has experienced a significant real estate boom over the past 30 years. According to Jorge Gamboa de Buen, business development director at Fibra DANHOS, which is a major player in commercial real estate in Mexico, the last 25 years have been crucial for the development of this sector in Mexico. Previously, the construction industry was essentially disorganized and lacked guidelines, according to the Association of Real Estate Developers (ADI).
Real estate industry trade shows in Mexico have played a crucial role in this boom by providing investors with one-stop shopping for the essential information they need to make informed investing decisions.
Today, we share some of the most relevant real estate expos being held in Mexico each year, arranged from the oldest to the most recently established.
If you’re looking to invest in real estate in Mexico as a home for yourself or as a business opportunity — whether on the individual or large scale — attending one of these trade shows can give you a leg up on knowing the property investment landscape. In many cases, you can also network with the companies, banks and government figures you may need to know in order to invest in real estate in Mexico.
The Real Estate Show
Considered one of the most important events in the real estate sector in Mexico and Latin America, this expo was established in 2004 and has served as a key meeting point for experts, investors and developers in Mexico for over 20 years.
Created by ADI, it just had its 2025 event this month, featuring speakers including academics, government representatives and sector experts.
Smart City Expo LATAM
Recognized as the most important forum for promoting smart cities in Latin America, this annual event, while not strictly a real estate expo, is a great platform for discovering innovative real estate businesses promoting environmentally responsible solutions and efficient resource and waste management. It’s also good for networking with a wide array of key players throughout Mexico and internationally who are interested in building smart cities.
This expo, which took place in Puebla earlier this month, brings together mayors and experts from over 300 cities worldwide, along with companies, institutions, academics and thought leaders.
