Parking: Along the same lines, the high flow of visitors that defines Sendero shopping centers together with the car traffic that this entails, contributes with a revenue stream given the parking fees charged.

- Towards the end of March, in the wake of the sanitary contingency, we successfully implemented the health protocols established by government authorities in all Sendero shopping centers, pioneering their adoption. In this sense, Acosta Verde drafted a robust protocol for the implementation of measures and actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Sendero shopping centers. These measures were adopted and designed following the guidelines set by local, state, and federal authorities.
