Prologis is to invest more than €6.4bn in France, to support the development of new logistics facilities and data centres across the country.
France has been a cornerstone market for Prologis since 2002 and this new investment will significantly expand the company’s footprint in both logistics and digital infrastructure, supporting the transition to smarter, more sustainable supply chains.
Hamid R Moghadam, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Prologis, said: “France is critical to the future of logistics and digital infrastructure in Europe.
“These investments reflect our confidence in France’s long-term potential and our role in building the infrastructure that keeps global commerce moving.”
The company’s planned investments will include funding for approximately 750,000sqm of new logistics space by 2028 in key markets including Marseille, Lyon, Paris and Le Havre.
Prologis is also funding the development of four data centres in the Paris region with a planned capacity of 584MW. Part of a broader European strategy, these sites will support AI and the digital economy, the company added.
Deployment is targeted by 2035, with the projects expected to generate more than 3,400 direct and indirect jobs.
Sandro Innocenti, head of Prologis’ Southern Europe Region, said: “This is about creating long-term value—for customers, for investors and for the broader economy.
“We’re building the connected, resilient infrastructure that helps businesses grow—and will help France thrive for generations to come.”
