Crate and Barrel – California, United States
1.2 million square feet total (111,500 square meters)
Crate and Barrel, a retailer of contemporary and stylish housewares and home
furnishings, needed a well-positioned site to accommodate distribution needs for
two product types. Prologis provided a site in California with nearby access to an
international seaport, three main interstates and two rail lines. Prologis developed and
continues to manage the facilities today (827,280 square feet or 77,000 square meters
for furniture; 398,400 square feet or 37,000 square meters for housewares). Expansion
plans include a 15,000-square-foot (1,400-square-meter) retail outlet. Both facilities
achieved LEED®-NC Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council and are
designed to achieve 37 percent reduced energy costs compared to a standard building.
Forward Air – Three Locations, United States
364,300 square feet total (33,800 square meters)
Forward Air, a leading provider of surface transportation and logistics services for the
North American air freight market, required three new facilities over the span of three
years at key global gateway airport markets. In addition to meeting critical security
requirements, the facilities had to be designed for high-throughput distribution,
including ideal truck circulation, trailer parking and cross-docking capabilities. The
first facility comprised 142,000 square feet (13,192 square meters) at Prologis’ Forest
Park freight terminal (Atlanta). With this success, Forward Air selected Prologis for a
126,000-square-foot (11,705-square-meter) facility at Prologis’ Des Plaines Logistics
Center in Chicago and a third facility in Houston—96,250 square feet (8,942 square
meters). These successive built-to-suit projects demonstrate Prologis’ understanding
of the functional and location requirements of freight-forwarding customers, giving
the company a dominant position in this industry segment.

The Home Depot – Four Locations, United States
2.6 million square feet (245,200 square meters) in four facilities
As part of its new inventory management system, the Home Depot, the world’s
largest home improvement specialty retailer, created the rapid deployment center
concept in order to improve supply chain efficiency and cut transportation costs.
The Home Depot selected Prologis to develop four rapid deployment centers,
the largest of which is in Prologis Park Corridor 75 in Monroe, Ohio. This
657,900-square-foot cross-docking distribution center serves 100 retail stores in
a three-state area in the Ohio Valley/Great Lakes Region. Prologis also developed
three more facilities in California based on this model—in Tracy, Redlands and
Ontario—to serve its west coast retail stores. Featuring controlled access points,
32-foot clear-height ceilings and energy-efficient T-5 lighting, these facilities are
LEED® certified and meet the Home Depot’s critical business requirement for rapid
deployment of its diverse products.
BMW – Two Locations, United States
1.2 million square feet total (108,400 square meters)
BMW of North America, a division of German automobile and motorcycle
manufacturer BMW AG, selected Prologis to expand its parts logistics capabilities to
accommodate growth in new automobile sales. Prologis managed the development
of two rapid-deployment centers on land strategically positioned for BMW at the
intersection of Routes 33 and 248 near Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and near the
interchange of Interstates 80 and 55 near Chicago. The facilities include high-tech,
showroom-worthy office space and enable next-day parts delivery to 275 dealers in
the eastern and central regions of the country. Both facilities were LEED® certified by
the U.S. Green Building Council. BMW Northeastern in Pennsylvania is targeted for
a 33 percent energy reduction and BMW Great Lakes a 23 percent energy reduction
compared to a standard building.
Ryder Capital – Mexico City, Mexico
404,400 square feet (37,600 square meters)
The Mexico subsidiary of Ryder, a FORTUNE 500 provider of leading-edge
transportation, logistics and supply chain management solutions, needed to
consolidate its most important operation in Mexico into a single campus. This
consolidation would allow Ryder to comply with requirements of the Customs-Trade
Agreement against Terrorism as well as incorporate other security features that
would distinguish the facility from the competition. Ryder also planned to concentrate
all its maintenance activities at one location. Meeting these requirements resulted
in Prologis Park Carrizal, a fully enclosed campus that includes two distribution
buildings, a security checkpoint with guardhouse, and a specialized facility for truck
maintenance. Located just inside the northern boundary of the greater Mexico City
metro area, the park allows Ryder to easily receive goods and distribute to all of
Mexico City.
Penske Logistics – São Paulo, Brazil
403,000 square feet (37,400 square meters)
The Brazil division of Penske Logistics, a leading multinational 3PL, required a new
cross-dock facility for its new customer, LG Electronics, to serve the growing São
Paulo market. Having assessed the market need, Prologis entered into a joint venture
with Cyrela Commercial Properties to develop Prologis CCP Cajamar Industrial
Park, located in one of Brazil’s most highly sought after logistics submarkets, with
proximity to central São Paulo and prominent highway frontage and access. The
first building speculatively developed in the park ideally suited Penske Logistics’
needs and became a build-to-suit for the customer with very little modification. The
state-of-the-art facility features 40-foot (12-meter) clear heights, secure entry and
sustainable design qualified for LEED registration. By bringing its global standards for
Class-A industrial space to a new market, Prologis anticipated and met its customer
requirements for flexibility and functionality.

Sainsbury’s – East Midlands, United Kingdom
624,000 square feet (58,000 square meters)
Sainsbury’s, a leading UK supermarket chain, wanted a distribution facility situated
in the center of the East Midlands to serve 50 stores and meet its on-time delivery
needs. The site at Prologis Park Pineham 1 in Northampton gave Sainsbury’s access
to north-south motorways and east coast ports. Sainsbury’s sustainability goal
resulted in the development of a carbon-neutral facility that would be cost-efficient to
operate. The building, which includes a 50 percent reduction in regulated operational
energy use when compared to building regulation requirements, is certified BREEAM
Excellent and has won several UK sustainable achievement awards.
Marks & Spencer – Yorkshire, United Kingdom
1 million square feet (93,000 square meters)
Prologis and Marks & Spencer entered into a 50-50 joint partnership to develop
Marks & Spencer’s largest distribution center serving more than 600 retail stores
throughout the United Kingdom with fashion, food and home products. The site at
Prologis Park Bradford, a 90-acre business park in Yorkshire, northern England,
provided excellent motorway access and a ready labor supply. The facility was
designed to meet Marks & Spencer’s goal to become carbon neutral by 2012 and
send no waste to the landfill. Over a 30-year lifespan, the combined embodied and
regulated operational CO2 emissions of the development will be up to 64 percent
lower than other regulation-compliant new construction. The facility was certified
BREEAM “Excellent” in 2009 and completed in March 2010.
Antalis – Almere, The Netherlands
323,000 square feet (30,000 square meters)
Antalis, the largest European group in the distribution of communications support
materials serving 53 countries globally, needed a well-positioned location in The
Netherlands. Prologis Park Stichtsekant in the city of Almere was ideally suited
for the build-to-suit development. The park is near the Randstad metropolitan
area, which is the most populated region in the Netherlands, and approximately
30 kilometers from the Port of Amsterdam, the fourth largest seaport in Europe.
Concurrent with development in Almere, Antalis worked with Prologis to develop
another build-to-suit facility in Błonie, Poland, totaling 549,000 square feet
(51,000 square meters).
SKECHERS EDC – Liege, Belgium
247,000 square feet (22,900 square meters)
SKECHERS EDC, a subsidiary of the footwear and apparel manufacturer SKECHERS
USA, Inc., sought a site that would strategically support its growing distribution
requirements for northern Europe. SKECHERS worked with Prologis to select a site
along A40, a major east-west highway in the city of Liege, Belgium, an area in high
demand and considered a gateway for European distribution. The facility is situated
30 minutes west of the German border and one hour from Brussels.

Raben Polska – Warsaw, Poland
161,500 square feet (15,000 square meters)
Raben Polska, a division of the Raben Group, one of Europe’s leading providers
of logistics services, needed custom space built on behalf of the company’s key
distribution customers. Prologis assisted Raben Polska in selecting a site at Prologis
Park Błonie II, a site just west of downtown Warsaw that gave Raben’s customers
immediate access to National Road 2 and Route E30, one of the longest west-east
routes connecting continental Europe. Added features include floor capacity and
clear heights greater than standard. Raben Polska also occupies 312,000 square feet
(29,000 square meters) at Prologis Park Chorzow in southern Poland.
DHL – Shanghai, China
258,300 square feet (24,000 square meters)
DHL required a new regional distribution center for one of its key customers, a
leading chocolate and food manufacturer. Because the manufacturer’s production
site was in Jiaxing, southwest of Shanghai, Prologis’ Jiaxing Logistics Center would
make it easy to transport products right off the production line, thus optimizing the
supply chain. Prologis developed a build-to-suit facility with a 33-foot (10-meter) clear
height and a 350-foot (106.6-meter) depth. This single-loaded building featured a long
mezzanine office in the center along the dock wall. In addition to temperature control,
the facility incorporated state-of-the-art design elements, such as a dust-repellent
slab, waterproof doors and an enhanced fire protection system, as well as energysaving features. The expanded apron, from 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters) allowed for
higher operational efficiency.
Hitachi Transport System – Osaka, Japan
608,000 square feet (56,500 square meters)
Hitachi Transport System consulted Prologis regarding facility requirements in the
Osaka market. Prologis had previously developed four build-to suit projects for
Hitachi in the Tokyo and Sendai markets. To meet Hitachi’s need In Osaka, Prologis
developed a five-story facility, Prologis Park Maishima 2. The building specifications
included 14,000 square feet (1,300 square meters) of refrigerated space and a
warehouse annex for hazardous goods and materials, all in fulfillment of Hitachi’s
“Platform Operations” for medical and pharmaceutical-related products. Energysaving features include systems for thermal storage air-conditioning, motion-detector
lighting and emergency power.
CAT Logistics – Sagamihara, Japan
576,600 square feet (53,600 square meters)
CAT Logistics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of heavy-equipment manufacturer
Caterpillar, required a distribution facility in the western Tokyo market, adjacent to the
manufacturing campus of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the customer’s joint-venture
partner in Japan. As a result of Prologis’ strong relationship with the customer, the
company won a highly contested build-to-suit bid to develop the Prologis Sagamihara
Distribution Center for CAT Logistics. Situated on a prime site located near main
arterial roads linking it to Tokyo and Yokohama, the two-story ramped facility is
designed to accommodate a third story for future expansion of up to 99,400 square
feet (9,234 square meters), in addition to rooftop parking.

Colorado. The site at Prologis Park 70 would help General Motors provide worldclass service to dealers by realigning the distribution network with less automated
facilities. The 404,000-square-foot (37,500-square-meter) facility was built to
handle automotive replacement part shipments to more than 225 dealerships in
approximately 12 states. Key factors in choosing Prologis and Park 70 were a highly
qualified labor market, quality of life, transportation factors and convenient interstate
access to the central United States. Prologis has developed four similar facilities for
General Motors in Charlotte, North Carolina; Jackson, Mississippi; Reno, Nevada; and
Martinsburg, West Virginia.
Fortune Brands – Nogales, Mexico
352,000 square feet total in two facilities (32,700 square meters)
