Prologis to develop 29,000 m2 at new UK deep-water port

Prologis is developing a 29,300 m2 distribution facility at DP World London Gateway in the UK.

The facility will be constructed at London Gateway, a new multimodal logistics park and deep-water port located 20 miles from central London. The building is designed to achieve Breeam 2011 'very good' accreditation and the best Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating for its size.

Prologis is developing London Gateway's first logistics facility in a joint venture with Dubai-based marine terminal operator DP World.

'London Gateway is the first strategic deep-water port built in the UK in more than a century," said Andrew Griffiths, managing director, Prologis UK. 'Demand for modern logistics facilities has been exceptionally strong in the market, and this property's multimodal connectivity and proximity to London provide an advantage to customers looking for a more efficient distribution system in the region.'

Prologis owned and managed approximately 1.8 million m2 of logistics and distribution space in the UK at end-March 2014.
