Constructora Lintel was organized in 1983 by Federico Barrio, José-Antonio González and Ricardo Betancourt. Between them, they had more than 30 years of experience in design and construction of light industrial buildings for foreign-owned corporations in Mexico.

The principals are well known and thought of in the local construction market. Throughout the years the company has been awarded more than 100 contracts by industrial companies and local real estate developers, adding more than 9 million square feet of space.

Lintel prides itself as being a true design-build company with experience in build to suit as well as spec facilities. Among its more recent design build projects is the Plexus building in Ciudad Juárez, which was the recipient of the "Outstanding Achievement Award" from the Tilt Up Concrete Association of America in 1999 – the first time a Mexican company was so recognized.

Its most recent project is the Las Colinas Industrial and Business Park in Silao, Guanajuato. The first phase, 173 acres, opens in July.

The 333-acre complex is designed for light industrial and commercial use. Highly attractive and fully landscaped, the project features a functional mix of light industrial, office and retail areas. Common area amenities include spacious four-lane (15-meter width) streets with bicycle lanes, asphalt pavement, and "L type" curbs and sidewalks. A spacious sports field and activity area further enhance the grounds.

The infrastructure includes a 30 MVA initial capacity internal substation (to grow up to 60 MVA) with service at 34,500 or I 1 5,000 volts. Two deep wells for drinking and domestic water are on the premises. Underground telecommunication services, a complete sewer system, and public lighting further complement the package of environmental features.

A manned sentry booth and prominent signage greet vehicles. For security, a perimeter fence surrounds the park with 24-hour on-site surveillance. A permanent administrative office will provide quality on-site service. Internal covenants, conditions and restrictions, along with common area maintenance will ensure the environmental integrity and visual appeal.

Las Colinas Industrial and Business Park lies less than 10 minutes from El Bajío International Airport in Silao with service to all major Mexican and U.S. cities.

A four-lane highway connects the main cities in Guanajuato – Silao, León, Guanajuato, Irapuato, Salamanca and Celaya.

It also connects to the cities of Guadalajara, Aguascalientes and Querétaro where it joins Interstate Highway 57, known as the NAFTA Highway. This highway connects Mexico City with Nuevo Laredo and is the main trade route between Mexico and the U.S. Las Colinas Industrial and Business Park also has direct access to Highway 45, Mexico’s main border-to-border connection.

For rail service, key cities in Guanajuato, including Silao, are connected to the main National Railroad Network. This 619-mile railway has access to ports on the Pacific Coast at Manzanillo, the Gulf of Mexico at Veracruz and to the border cities of Ojinaga and Nuevo Laredo.
