The New Real Estate Paradigm in Nuevo León (2025-2026)

mariajose.canal — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 20:08:49 +0000

From Pérez-Llorca’s Real Estate practice, key changes have been identified that redefine real estate development in Nuevo León, particularly regarding pre-sales, leasing, registral legal certainty and regulatory compliance. The new legal framework introduces mandatory requirements for pre-sale commercialization, strengthens consumer protection in line with NOM-247-SE-2021, and establishes specific limits on security deposits and rent increases. It also promotes the modernization of the land registry system through digital annotations (precintas) and raises compliance standards in anti-money laundering matters, placing the beneficial owner at the center of regulatory obligations. This new paradigm requires a comprehensive review of legal and operational strategies for developers, investors and funds active in the state’s real estate market.

After seven years at the helm of the London office, the first opened by Pérez-Llorca in foreign territory, Álvaro Ramírez de Haro will hand over the reins to José Luis Romeu, a partner who has been working there since the beginning of 2024.

Pérez-Llorca’s London office has a team of more than 10 people which, alongside José Luis Romeu, includes partners Isabel Villa (Restructuring) and the recently appointed Melchor Álvarez de Mon (Corporate), who joins the team in the British capital to further bolster this location.

José Luis Romeu joined Pérez-Llorca in 2017 as a lawyer in the Corporate practice and made partner in January 2024. Specialising in commercial law, his career has a strong international flavour as, in addition to an LL.M. in International Business and Economic Law from Georgetown University, he worked in the firm’s London office in 2019 and 2020 and is also a Solicitor of England and Wales.

Anti-Extortion Law Brings Certainty to the Construction Sector

mariajose.canal — Tue, 02 Dec 2025 23:32:10 +0000

In the interview, Alfredo notes that harmonizing the criminal classification of extortion nationwide is an important development, as this offense has historically hindered investment, increased costs, and created uncertainty throughout construction projects. A uniform legal framework will strengthen enforcement, provide greater legal certainty for businesses and developers, and reduce opportunities for abusive practices previously enabled by legal loopholes.

Amparo Law Reform Would Put Pressure on the Real Estate Sector

mariajose.canal — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 22:52:44 +0000

Paillés warned that the reform introduces significant changes: by restricting injunctions, a company whose permit is revoked might have to halt operations while the case is under review, directly affecting real estate projects. She also raised concerns about potential abuses of power by courts lacking experience in this area, and recommended that firms conduct internal audits and explore alternative dispute resolution mechanisms to adapt to the new legal landscape.

In an interview with El Economista, María Esther Rey expresses renewed optimism for the sector: after a quiet first quarter, real estate Fibras are now projected to add about 2 million new square meters this year. She points out that, although the tariff conflict has created uncertainty, the sector has adapted—particularly in the retail and shopping center segment—while industrial-logistics remains robust. Rey also highlights that increased scrutiny over capital sources and asset management has led several Fibras to change their trustee, reflecting a deeper commitment to transparency and regulatory compliance.
