Transforming France's logistics landscape
Prologis' significant €6.4 billion investment marks a pivotal moment for the French logistics and industrial real estate sector.
This capital injection is earmarked for the development of an additional 750,000 square meters of cutting-edge logistics surfaces by 2028.
This expansion will be strategically concentrated in France's most vital economic hubs, including Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and Le Havre, ensuring businesses have access to prime locations with robust transport links.
Key markets and job creation
The development of these new facilities is projected to generate at least 3,200 direct jobs and an additional 2,400 indirect jobs. This substantial job creation underscores the economic vitality that these new logistics parks will bring, fostering a dynamic environment for businesses looking to expand their operations and access skilled labor pools in these key regions.
Powering France's digital future with data centers
Beyond traditional logistics, Prologis is also heavily investing in France's burgeoning digital infrastructure. The company plans to support the development of state-of-the-art data centers, including four major facilities in the Île-de-France region alone, contributing approximately 585 MW of total capacity.
Notably, one of these Parisian-area data centers represents an investment of €3.5 billion and will provide 400 MW of capacity, reinforcing France's position as a leading digital hub in Europe. This commitment offers a significant advantage for businesses requiring high-performance, secure, and scalable data infrastructure.
