- The ISSSTE has donated 22 hectares of land in Tlalpan, Mexico City, to help regularize property titles for approximately 1,700 families.
- The land, previously owned by ISSSTE, will allow the Mexico City government to proceed with territorial regularization and titling processes.
- This donation, a result of political will and years of negotiation, will consolidate property ownership for many families in the affected neighborhoods.
In a significant move to address long-standing property issues, the Institute of Security and Social Services for State Workers (ISSSTE) has formally donated 22 hectares of land in the Tlalpan delegation of Mexico City. This act is set to benefit approximately 1,700 families by advancing the regularization of their land titles in the neighborhoods of Fresno, Roca de Cristal, Cantera 42, and Bosques de Tepeximilpa.
The donated land, covering about 220,000 square meters, was formerly under ISSSTE's ownership. Its transfer to the Mexico City government will enable the commencement of territorial regularization and property titling procedures, with the support of the Tlalpan mayor's office. This initiative addresses a critical social demand that has been pending for decades, offering security and legal certainty to numerous households.
Gabriela Osorio, the mayor of Tlalpan, emphasized the political will required to achieve this agreement. "It took years, but it was achieved," she stated, noting that consistent meetings between involved government agencies over the past year were crucial to unblock the process and formalize the donation. ISSSTE Director General Martรญ Batres confirmed the formalization of the donation for polygons B and C, covering the specified neighborhoods, which will consolidate the assets of thousands of families.
In addition to the land donation, Batres and Osorio also inaugurated a new medical clinic at the Tlalpan mayor's office, intended to provide healthcare services to the delegation's workers. This dual action highlights a commitment to improving living conditions and public services within the Tlalpan area.
