FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- Prologis supports customer logistics and development needs by offering flexible and adaptable solutions
- Prologis builds lasting customer relationships
PARIS (27 November 2017) - Prologis Inc., global leader in logistics real estate, today announced the lease of 19.430 additional square metres to long-term partner Geodis at Prologis Park Isle d’Abeau. Geodis, a top ranking European and global supply chain operator, already occupies two logistics platforms at Isle d’Abeau. With this new lease, Geodis brings their total occupancy to 70,000 square metres.
A well-equipped and entirely renewed facility
In 2016, Prologis completely rejuvenated this building, incorporating not only full LED equipment, but brightness sensors, as well. As part of a more targeted customer-focus strategy Prologis aims to anticipate their customers’ needs by providing environmentally friendly, adaptable and quality real estate solutions in prime locations.
Beyond customer relations - achieving partnership
Back in 2012, Prologis first signed an agreement with Geodis to modernize and extend a 100,000 square metre, high-quality logistics platform at the historic Evry Lisses site. Prologis revitalized this high-potential park by redeveloping almost 30,000 square metres of industrial space and rehabilitating leased surface. As a result of six months of collaboration between Geodis and Prologis operating teams, this long-term agreement enabled Geodis to reinforce its activities in the South of Paris
The Isle d’Abeau transaction today follows the very same approach: a willingness to be a long-term partner and to offer ‘made-to-measure’ solutions capable of supporting the development of client activities.
“We are both glad and proud to see our client Geodis extend their activity at our Isle d’Abeau Park,” Cécile Tricault, country manager, Prologis France. “Their trust and loyalty underscore the professionalism our team has in proposing flexible solutions which precisely fit clients’ needs.”
