t the Real Estate Business Summit 2025, hosted by Inmobiliare magazine, Baja California government representatives showcased investment opportunities in the state's medical and real estate sectors. The event brought together investors, developers, architects, urban planners, and officials from both sides of the border to discuss market trends and explore cross-border collaboration.The state has become a significant destination for medical tourism, particularly in specialties like plastic surgery, dentistry, oncology, and orthopedics. Each year, over 4 million patients, mainly from Southern California, travel to Baja California for lower-cost medical care compared to the US and Europe. Tijuana, Mexicali, Los Algodones, and the Tijuana-Rosarito-Ensenada corridor are key destinations in this sector, supported by medical infrastructure and links with U.S. institutions.In terms of real estate, Baja California's coastal corridor has attracted foreign buyers and investors due to competitive prices, which can be up to 50% lower than those in Southern California. This price difference has driven growth in the residential and retirement segment.
