Thank you, Lorenzo. Good day, everyone. Let me walk you through our second quarter results, starting with our top line. Total revenues were up 6.8% year-over-year, reaching $67 million, primarily driven by rental income from new leases and inflationary adjustments across our rental portfolio. In terms of the current mix, 89.4% of our second quarter rental revenues were denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase from 88% in the second quarter of 2024. On the profitability front, adjusted net operating income increased 7.2% to $61.8 million. Our adjusted NOI margin remained strong at 94.5%, down just 7 basis points from the prior year, reflecting a slight increase in costs related to rental income-generating properties, including real estate taxes, insurance and other property-related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA came in at $55 million, a 9% increase year-over-year, emerging expansion of 137 basis points to 84.1%, this was largely due to tighter control over administrative expenses, underscoring our continuing focus on cost discipline. We closed the quarter with a pretax income of $54.5 million compared to $131.8 million in 2024. This decrease was mainly due to lower gains on valuation of investment properties as well as a reduced interest income due to a lower average cash position during the period. Vesta's FFO, excluding current tax increased to $43.1 million this quarter from $38.2 million in the second quarter 2024, a 12.9% increase year-over-year. Turning to our capital structure. We ended the quarter with $65.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. Total debt increased to $900 million as of June 30, 2025, primarily reflecting the $100 million drawdown in April from the $345 million syndicated loan secured in December 2024. Our net debt to EBITDA stood at 4x and our loan-to-value ratio was 22.4%, maintaining a healthy leverage position. On capital allocation, as Lorenzo mentioned, we prioritize deploying capital towards completing ongoing development and acquiring land investors core market. During the quarter, we acquired 128.4 acres of land in Guadalajara, and we finalized the acquisition of 20.2 acres in Monterrey. These investments reflect our long-term vision, enhancing our strategic footprint and preparing us to meet future demand, as Lorenzo has mentioned. Finally, and also subsequent to quarter's end, on July 15, 2025, we paid a cash dividend for the second quarter, equivalent to $0.38 per ordinary shares. This concludes our second quarter 2025 review. Operator, could you please open the floor for questions.
