lexmark :Growth of new plants impressive
The 6 million square feet of new plants in Juárez this year is a feat that likely won’t be repeated next year, mostly because you don’t get a 1.5-million-square-foot Electrolux plant every year. But real estate types said they are hoping for 3 million to 4 million square feet of plants in 2006, still a very good thing. Best/White de Mexico said 250,000 square feet of construction has started this year and will be operational next year.
The construction includes Building 3 of the Lexmark campus, 92,000 square feet, to be completed next year. Buildings 1 and 2, finished this year, were a combined 362,000 square feet, said Andres Sandoval, a Best/White partner in Juárez.
