BBVA grants $200m green loan to Fibra Macquarie for sustainable industrial development

BBVA Mexico and Fibra Macquarie have finalised a $200 million green financing facility designed to accelerate the development of sustainable industrial infrastructure across the country. The proceeds will be used to fund new industrial properties seeking LEED, EDGE, or BOMA certifications, and to support the ongoing conversion of established assets into EDGE-certified facilities.

The agreement marks a significant expansion of the strategic relationship between the two entities, specifically targeting an increase in energy efficiency and a reduction in operational emissions within Mexico’s real estate sector.

As of the fourth quarter of 2025, 67.8% of Fibra Macquarie’s drawn debt is now labelled as green or linked to sustainability Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). This latest financing follows a period of intense activity for Fibra Macquarie, which manages total assets valued at $3.6 billion and a gross leasable area of 36.6 million square feet.

“Sustainability is a strategic priority for the BBVA Group,” the bank stated, noting that its commitment in Mexico has resulted in the mobilisation of 470,411 million pesos in sustainable finance throughout 2025.

The loan will enable Fibra Macquarie to transition toward a more energy-efficient operating model. By focusing on high-level certifications like LEED and EDGE, the trust aims to establish new standards of excellence in the industrial real estate market, which is seeing increased demand for climate-resilient and low-emission facilities.

For BBVA Mexico, the partnership reaffirms its role in supporting corporate transitions. The bank highlighted that projects of this nature are essential for promoting high environmental standards in one of Mexico’s most critical economic sectors.

Fibra Macquarie remains a dominant force in the Mexican real estate investment trust (REIT) market. By the end of 2025, its portfolio reached a total of 262 industrial and commercial properties distributed across 20 cities. The trust’s focus remains on income-generating assets, including industrial, retail, and office spaces, with a clear trajectory toward a fully sustainable asset base.
