Quintana Roo is undergoing one of the largest public infrastructure investment cycles in its history. Government-led projects spanning transportation, energy, and utilities are rapidly reshaping the region’s physical and economic landscape.

These investments are not speculative — they are designed to support long-term population growth, tourism, and private sector expansion. As connectivity improves and capacity constraints are addressed, industrial and logistics demand inevitably follows.

Key Signals

• Tren Maya: 1,544 km rail network spanning five states and 34 stations

• Employment impact: ~715,000 jobs projected by 2030

• Poverty reduction: ~1.1 million people projected to move out of poverty

• Passenger volume: ~5.5 million annual rail passengers

• Tulum International Airport: ~32,000 flights per year

• Energy capacity: Two combined-cycle power plants adding ~1.5 GW of power

• Natural gas infrastructure: $3.9B Mayakan pipeline completed January 2025

• Capital scale: Over $30B in additional infrastructure investment required across the Yucatán Peninsula

Large-scale infrastructure investment reduces friction across the economy. Improved transportation, energy reliability, and logistics capacity enable private enterprises to operate more efficiently and at greater scale.

As these systems come online, demand accelerates for warehousing, distribution centers, maintenance facilities, and operational support infrastructure — assets that historically have been underdeveloped in the region.

For RIIP, government infrastructure investment acts as a leading indicator. Public capital de-risks private development by establishing the foundational systems required for long-term industrial activity.

By developing industrial assets alongside these infrastructure corridors, RIIP is positioned to support sustained demand driven by connectivity, reliability, and regional scale.
