SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Prologis, Inc.
(NYSE: PLD), the global leader in industrial real estate, today
announced it has signed a 139,000 square foot (12,913 square meter)
build-to-suit agreement in Madrid
with TNT Express, one of the world's largest express delivery
companies and a repeat customer.
The facility will be located at Puerta de Madrid, a Class-A logistics park 15 minutes
from the Madrid city center and
adjacent to Madrid–Barajas Airport. The park has direct access to
the A2 corridor, which links Madrid, Barcelona and Zaragoza and is one of the most
attractive logistics areas in the Spanish market.
"We are pleased to extend our relationship with TNT to six
markets on three continents," said Francois Rispe, regional head,
Prologis Southern Europe. "This agreement reflects the lack of
supply of Class-A logistics facilities in Madrid. As the market recovers, our
well-located land bank will be attractive to customers seeking
expansion or relocation opportunities."
Prologis is the leading provider of industrial real estate in
Spain, with approximately 9.6
million square feet (891,134 square meters) of logistics and
distribution space as of September 30,
2014.
