About Centro / Barrio Antiguo

Centro and adjoining Barrio Antiguo form Monterrey's historic and cultural heart: cobbled colonial streets, galleries and the city's densest nightlife, anchored by the vast Macroplaza and the Paseo Santa Lucía riverwalk. After years of regeneration, the core blends heritage buildings with new infill apartments aimed at young professionals and creatives. For investors, the Centro is the urban-regeneration and rentability play: walkable, culturally rich and increasingly residential, with strong young-professional and short-let demand supporting yields around the metro's 5.6-6.8% and upside from continued downtown investment. The case is walkability, culture and value relative to San Pedro; the trade-offs are uneven block-by-block quality and nightlife noise. Inland, no fideicomiso. Peso-denominated.
