The warehouse market in Greater Santiago is experiencing a strategic shift due to slowing demand. According to a report by Cushman & Wakefield, approximately 65% of new projects entering the market are being pre-leased to secure occupancy upon delivery. 

Investors are increasingly prioritizing “Built to Suit” (BTS) developments, which represent about 35% of the total surface area, as a method to mitigate speculative risks. This follows a significant deceleration in demand for Class A and B warehouses, marked by a 103% year-on-year decrease in cumulative net absorption as of June 2026.
