Nader, Hayaux & Goebel Advises Fibra Storage in MXN $500 Million Bond Issuance

Mexico City, August 11, 2025] – Nader, Hayaux & Goebel, advised Fibra Storage, the largest real estate investment trust in Mexico dedicated to self-storage units, in the issuance and public offering of bonds (certificados bursátiles fiduciarios) under its current debt program.

 

The bonds, with ticker symbol “STORAGE 25”, were issued for a total amount of MXN 500 million representing the second largest issuance under Fibra Storage’s current debt program.

 

The transaction took place shortly after a rating upgrade for Fibra Storage and involved unique challenges. During the preparation of the issuance, bondholders approved the substitution of the trustee for the issuing trust, as well as all related trusts. This required the drafting and negotiation of updated documentation under a compressed timeframe.

 

Additionally, the issuance coincided with a quarter-end, triggering specific regulatory requirements for periodic reporting, which had to be incorporated into the documentation and transaction timeline.

 

The NHG team navigated these challenges by coordinating closely with all stakeholders to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and to complete the transaction within the shortened schedule.
