Expo Real Estate Guatemala 2026 will take place on March 18–19 at the ÉPICA Event Center in Guatemala, from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Organized by Grupo S.G and ADIG, it will bring together Real Estate leaders to share trends, tools, and networking opportunities, with Gómez Platero featured in the conference program. 

Expo Real Estate Guatemala 2026 will be held on March 18–19, 2026, at the ÉPICA Event Center in Guatemala, from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The event is organized by Grupo S.G and ADIG, an association founded by entrepreneurial business leaders with shared goals, aimed at strengthening the industry through closer engagement with its members and collaborative efforts that contribute to Guatemala’s development in the real estate sector. 

This edition will also introduce a noteworthy milestone: for the first time, it will be open to the public with no admission fee. In a context where specialized Real Estate training often requires a significant investment, the Expo positions itself as a high-value platform to stay current, hear from leading voices, and expand networks across the sector. In this context, Gómez Platero Architecture & Urbanism will take part with a solo presentation on March 18 at 11:20 a.m., titled “Architecture as a Value Generator in Real Estate Development,” presented by Ricardo Fernández, Head of Business Development for the Americas.

Expo Real Estate Guatemala and the new Real Estate landscape 

Real Estate is entering a cycle where differentiation is defined earlier than ever. Decisions around concept, site planning, program, and performance no longer affect “design” alone: they influence feasibility, absorption, asset value, and resilience amid market shifts. In this context, the conversation is moving toward a more integrated approach—applied technology (AI/Proptech), more selective capital, higher end-user expectations, and an ESG agenda that is raising standards. The Expo positions itself as a space to connect these vectors with cases, tools, and local and regional market perspectives, with a focus on practical decision-making. 

Guatemala: Real Estate market signals to watch in 2026 

• Office recovery: total vacancy in Guatemala City stood at 13.5%, down from 20.8% in 2023, driven by absorption in prime locations and higher-quality buildings. 

• Industrial/logistics: sizable base and higher “quality” stock. JLL analyzes 813,000 m² of industrial/logistics warehouses (without tax incentives) in the Guatemala City area; 47% of stock is Class A. 

• Remittances at a historic high: Guatemala closed 2025 with US$ 25.53 billion in remittances (+18.7% YoY), according to official Bank of Guatemala statistics reported by Forbes Centroamérica. 

• Growth supported by credit and remittances: the World Bank MPO projects GDP growth of 3.5% in 2025, with slightly higher growth in subsequent years, supported by credit and remittances.
