Prologis, Inc., the global leader in industrial real estate, has on Thursday announced the opening of a 30,000 square metre speculative distribution facility at Prologis Park Prague-Airport.

Prologis Park Prague-Airport DC1 was designed to offer flexibility and state-of-the-art technological solutions, including energy efficient features. During construction, strict rules were put into place to protect the building’s environment, existing ecological features and on-site workers. The facility also adheres to the latest standards for sustainability set out in the BREEAM environmental assessment method and rating system, including external energy-efficient LED lights, natural irrigation of greenery and an optimal energy-saving heating system with gas-fired tube heaters.

“The opening of this new Class-A facility is a welcome investment in the Central Bohemian Region," said Milos Petera, governor of the region.

“We are experiencing substantial demand for Class-A distribution space, particularly in and around Prague," said Ben Bannatyne, Prologis managing director and regional head for Central and Eastern Europe.

Prologis Park Prague-Airport is adjacent to exit 7 of the R6 highway, five minutes from Václav Havel Prague Airport. The site also provides excellent access to national and international traffic and trade routes via the Prague ring road to the D5 highway, which connects Prague with Pilsen and onto Germany.
