| Résumé: | This article analyzes aspects of the real estate activity in a medium-sized Mexican city (Queretaro) during the years from 1960-1982. During this period, there was major urban growth in the locality, linked to its industrial development.The paper analyzes three real estate operations which, due to the amount of land involved and the locations, have been the most important. The results of this research show, among other things, that real estate developments were carried out by groups that concentrated and realized all the activities included in the process of urbanization and land circulation, as well as construction of housing. The paper also points out what easy access these groups had to great extensions of private farm land which they converted to urban uses. While these characteristics of real estate activity are also evident in other places in the country, they acquire a particular dimension in the case of Queretaro, constituting the determining modality in the process of its recent urbanization.
