Mini-Warehouses in Mexico Growing Faster Than in the U.S.
The mini-warehouse market in Mexico generated $1,428 million USD in 2024 and is projected to reach $2,093 million USD by 2030. According to a Grand View Research report, this represents 2.4% of the global self-storage market in 2024.
While the U.S. remains the global leader in revenue, Mexico is the fastest-growing market in North America.
The mini-warehouse business, widely developed in the U.S. for over 30 years, has started to solidify in Mexico over the past decade. The market is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 6.8% from 2025 to 2030.
Vivestorage Expands Mini-Warehouses in Naucalpan
Vivestorage, a brand operated by Viverent, offers modular solutions ranging from 1 to over 20 square meters, focusing on secure storage for individuals, businesses, and entrepreneurs. The added value lies in the financial returns this real estate business model offers.
“While a residential property may generate a net annual return of between 3% and 6%, our mini-warehouses reach up to $360 net per square meter per month, with low risk and virtually no maintenance,” explains Pablo Mateos, CEO of Viverent.
Strategic Locations and National Expansion
With a presence in Naucalpan and Cancun, Vivestorage has demonstrated the operational viability of its model in high-demand urban areas. The company is preparing to enter Guadalajara, one of Mexico’s most dynamic real estate markets.
“We want to be where people and businesses face space limitations. Our vision is to scale without acquiring more land but maximizing each square meter with vertical efficiency,” say the founders.
A Different Investment Model
Viverent offers qualified investors the opportunity to invest as co-owners in a trust within the same Vivestorage projects alongside the founders, in a “rent pool” format. The monthly net flow is then distributed equitably among all co-owners based on their ownership percentage.
“Urban land is becoming increasingly expensive and scarce. Our focus is to maximize it, with products offering constant income, security, and wealth growth,” project management added.
Mini-Warehouses: A New Investment Category with Future Potential
With this expansion, real estate developer Viverent reaffirms its commitment to solutions that respond to the changing lifestyle and work dynamics in Mexico. Mini-warehouses are no longer a complementary service but a new investment category with potential.
