The ones that are already operating are fully occupied, and the activity has come back at a good pace. The beginning of the year was tough on sales, during June and July the shopping companies invoice more than last year Paso del Bosque has the advantage of being in a privileged location, the city has grow towards the west,” considered Di Santo. .
