The private sector confirms its strength in Córdoba with the confirmation of 6 large-scale commercial projects. These are 3 new shopping malls and massive expansions in the existing ones that defy negative forecasts. Genuine investment ignores speculation and bets on the recovery of in-person consumption.
A market estimate indicates that the city's commercial area will grow by at least 45% over the next 5 years. The business groups Dinosaurio, Proaco and Infinito are leading the construction of the new structures with their own capital. Added to this are the expansion works at Nuevocentro, Córdoba Shopping and Paseo del Jockey.
The momentum is due to the expectation of a reduction in the national fiscal deficit and the gradual opening of markets. The recovery of business confidence is the key to unlocking these productive funds. Eduardo Elsztain, from IRSA, confirmed that occupancy averages 97.8% in his complexes.
