Mexican real estate in Monterrey could be a gold mine for real estate investment in the near future thanks to some interesting news from the US. GM Plans to Spend $900 Million on Plant in Ramos Arizpe (1) GM plans to make a huge investment in its Mexican plant which should have a great economical impact on the surrounding area, potentially raising property values and providing opportunities for businesses that cater to traveling business people and workers. Ramos Arizpe is about a 40 mile highway drive to Monterrey. Monterrey is already recognized as one of the top business centers in Latin America, and a .9 billion dollar investment by GM will only add to their reputation.
