​ Investment Property, Net Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, in connection with the TelevisaUnivision Transaction, the Group leases some buildings and land to TelevisaUnivision under operating lease agreements. These operating lease agreements contain initial non-cancellable periods between 7 and 19 years. Subsequent renewals are negotiated with the lessee and average renewal periods are of five years. The leased buildings and land are in Mexico City and include the Group’s San Angel, Chapultepec facilities and part of the Company’s headquarters. These properties are classified as investment properties in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards given that such properties are held by the Group primarily to earn rentals rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes, or sale in the ordinary course of business (see Note 3). Changes in the carrying amount of investment property for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, are as follows: ​
