TL;DR
- A new wholesale market, Plaza Mayorista, is planned for Girardota.
- The project will be built on a 14-hectare private lot near the future Tren Multipropósito station.
- It is expected to generate up to 7,000 direct and 10,000 indirect jobs.
- The project could contribute significantly to Girardota's tax revenue, potentially matching 16% of Itagüí's current revenue from its wholesale market.
- Construction is anticipated to start in 2026, with urban planning permits expected in the first half of 2026, and completion estimated to take up to ten years in three stages.
- The location is strategic as 45% of heavy cargo vehicles entering the current wholesale market originate from the North.
- The project aims to reduce the burden of heavy vehicles on southern Aburrá and lower emissions.
- Girardota is considering local tax incentives to encourage the project's development, following a successful precedent with Yamaha.
- A recent constitutional amendment provides special protection for food storage and distribution projects.
- The project is seen as strategically and economically sustainable due to the constant need for food.
