Thanks, Juliana. Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us. I'd like to say a few words before turning the call over to Esteban and Paul. To our LPA shareholders, you have invested in Latin America's premier cross-border, vertically integrated industrial real estate platform. Your confidence and foresight have enabled LPA to be well capitalized, allowing us to deepen our presence in existing markets and enter Mexico, the region's most interesting and fastest growing industrial sector. benefiting from strong nearshoring trends supported by Asia and Europe, as well as strong e-commerce tailwinds. These trends drive substantial demand for institutional quality properties for clients like those already serviced by LPA. Additionally, you've entrusted us to lead your investment via a strong and independent board, along with a management team possessing exceptional operational and regional expertise. As a result, we believe LPA is optimally positioned to execute a well-defined strategy to expand our differentiated and unique platform within Latin America's underpenetrated industrial real estate markets and achieve even higher levels of growth. I'd also like to remind you that a few weeks ago, we announced the addition of Francois Lavertue and Javier Martina to LPA's board as independent directors. Francoise brings considerable expertise in scaling businesses and possesses a deep knowledge of AI solutions for supply chain management. Javier, a former member of LPA's predecessor entity, has an intimate understanding of our company and a strong track record of investing in and growing real estate companies in Latin America. Both bring extensive international and, more importantly, regional experience. further strengthening our board. To conclude, thank you very much for entrusting your capital to fund LPA's exciting new growth phase. We look forward to engaging with you in the future, and now I'll pass it over to Esteban.
