18,240 Square Metre Property Nearly 40 Percent Pre-Leased

WARSAW – 7 April 2014 – Prologis, Inc., the leading global owner, operator and developer of industrial real estate, today announced it has commenced construction on 18,240 square metres of Class-A logistics space at Prologis Park Wrocław III.

 

The new facility will offer customers the most flexible design configurations of industrial real estate in the Wroclaw market with unit sizes starting from 650 square metres. Construction is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2014.

 

Two pre-lets, totalling 6,800 square metres, have already been signed, including:

 

• 5,500 square metres to Neuca, the largest distributor of pharmaceutical products in Poland that is planning further development of its operations in the region. The lease is for 10 years;

 

and

 

• 1,300 square metres to Metalcom Sp. z o.o., a supplier of fasteners, anchoring solutions and non-standard fastening products. Prologis’ facility was selected due to the limited availability of small, Class-A units with loading docks and level access gates.

 

“For several months, demand for modern logistics space in the Wrocław region has been growing,” said Ewa Zawadzka, vice president, head of development, Prologis Poland. “This facility has the unique capability to meet the needs of both large and small companies needing top-quality, customizable space.”

 

Prologis Park Wrocław III is situated seven kilometres southeast of Wrocław, at the Wroclaw ring road at Graniczna Street, 3.5 kilometres from the city’s airport. The 130,000-square-metre modern distribution park is 91 percent occupied. The park will be fully developed once the new facility is completed.

 

Prologis is the leading provider of industrial real estate in Poland with approximately 1.97 million square metres of logistics and distribution space as of December 31, 2013.
