PARIS, June 3, 2019

Prologis Inc., the global leader in logistics real estate, today announced that it has signed a build-to-suit agreement with the SMCP Group, a high-end fashion brand that owns the French labels Sandro, Maje, Claudie Pierlot and Sandro Homme. By the end of the year, SMCP will occupy 30,000 square meters of the 37,000 square meter facility at Prologis Park Marly.

SMCP Group has leased a 24,000 square meter logistics warehouse and international distribution platform at Prologis Park Vémars since 2015. The new facility at Prologis Park Marly will centralize a number of SMCP’s logistics operations and enable it to respond to significant growth driven by new points of sale and the flourishing online retail environment.

The choice of logistics real estate provider for this project was clear-cut. SMCP had enjoyed a good working relationship with Prologis since 2015 and had recently been inspired further by visiting a 25,000 square meter facility at Prologis Park Marly—the first logistics park ever to receive the "Excellent" IBPC (International Biodiversity and Property Council) BiodiverCity rating.

Employee well-being is a key consideration for Prologis and its customers. In fact, it determined both the internal design of this building, as well as its external environment. Prologis Marly DC1 will be accredited BREEAM ′′Very Good", a testament to the extremely high environmental standards applied to the design, construction and operation of the facility.

As SMCP ventured into their first BTS project, their confidence in the support that Prologis provides was an important factor. The Marly site, like the Vémars site, will be fully automated. ′′We are able to deliver on SMCP’s specifications. Thanks to our global scale, we have the expertise to advise and reassure throughout the entire process, not only during design, but also through planning and on IPCE regulation," said Cécile Tricault, country manager, Prologis France. The SMCP Marly-la-Ville site will be completed by the end of 2019 and should be operational in early 2020.

BNP Paribas Real Estate acted as counsel for both parties.
