FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Two build-to-suit deals on brownfield sites regenerated by Prologis poised to create new opportunities and help support the local economy
PARIS (31 August 2017) - Prologis, the global leader in logistics real estate, today announced two build-to-suit agreements in the Paris market. Cultura has taken a 56,000 square metre distribution centre at Prologis Park Moissy 2 Les Chevrons and a logistics operator will lease a 25,000 square metre facility at Parc Prologis Marly-la-Ville.
Both companies are specialist logistics providers: Cultura works in the cultural and creative sectors and the logistics operator focuses on new technologies. Both companies are expanding and evolving to meet the growing demands of e-commerce. The new buildings, which are in prime logistics locations in Ile-de-France, will allow both operators to streamline their businesses and provide innovative multi-channel logistics solutions. The facilities are expected to complete in the first half of 2018.
Cécile Tricault, country manager, Prologis France, said: “We are proud that both companies have joined our customer portfolio. These two projects demonstrate our ability to deliver high-quality logistics real estate in prime locations, and they showcase our expertise in regenerating brownfield sites. The development of the parks in Ile-de-France means we have a unique offering in this market and can meet the expectations of our customers for large logistics facilities now and in the future.”
In both transactions, Prologis was represented by Franklin. Entrepôts XXL France, a subsidiary of Tostain & Laffineur, advised the landlord and customer in the Cultura transaction.
