A New Urban Oasis

The government of Nuevo León has completed construction of the 'Parque del Agua' (Water Park), an ecological and urban complex located on the grounds of the former Bosque Mágico in the municipality of Guadalupe. The project, coordinated by Bernardo Bichara of Parque Fundidora, will be inaugurated in the coming days as a strategic component of the preparations for the 2026 World Cup.

Spanning 80 hectares, the project was designed as an integrated system for rainwater collection, storage, and treatment. Technical data indicates the park can process up to 400 million liters of rainwater annually, helping to regulate water resources, mitigate drought impacts, and manage overflow into the La Silla River.

Construction was carried out by Regiomontana de Construcción y Servicios (RECSA), led by Humberto Armenta. The design prioritized the reuse of existing infrastructure, most notably the conversion of the former 'Río Loco' attraction into a natural biofilter that serves as part of the park's water purification system.

Beyond its environmental role, the complex integrates recreational zones, fountains, and lakes for public use. It will also serve as a key mobility hub for the international tournament, connecting directly to BBVA Stadium via a 530-meter pedestrian corridor.

Advancements in Longevity and Workforce Development

In the health sector, Koltin, a firm specializing in private coverage for seniors, has announced the opening of its second longevity clinic in Mexico City. Led by Eduardo O. Reynaga and Carmen Rosillo, the company invested $3 million into this expansion, which encompasses new infrastructure, technology, and preventive care models.

Koltin’s strategy addresses Mexico’s demographic shift, with projections showing that by 2050, one in four people will be over the age of 60. The company aims to transform the traditional healthcare ecosystem through a model that promotes independence and continuous support, positioning the Mexican market as a leader in healthy longevity solutions heading into 2026.

Meanwhile, Laboratoria has solidified a strategic shift in Latin America to boost employability in the face of today’s labor market challenges. The organization is strengthening professional integration through collaborative networks with over 1,500 companies, focusing on adapting skill sets to the rapid technological evolution of the regional landscape.
