Global logistics real estate leader Prologis has signed lease agreements for 5,795 square meters with Bonami, a Czech online store offering home furnishings, at Prologis Park Prague-Airport DC1.
– The key factor that influenced our decision was the facility’s location, which provides excellent connections to national and international trade routes, supporting the rapid growth of our business – said David Siska, CEO of Bonami. – Three years of operations have brought us enormous success on a regional scale, which is why we highly appreciate the opportunity for further expansion within the park, as well as the high technical standard of the building.
The signing of this agreement – following the lease transaction of 18,000 square meters with a Chinese e-commerce company – means that the speculative facility Prologis Park Prague-Airport DC1 has been fully leased.
– The share of the e-commerce sector in the overall demand for warehouse space continues to grow both in the Czech Republic and across the entire region – said Martin Baláž, director of leasing and development at Prologis for the Czech Republic and Slovakia. – Prologis’ strategy is to offer easily accessible, multi-functional space that meets the needs of future and existing customers from various industries, including the e-commerce sector. Leasing Building 1 in its entirety just one year after completion confirms the validity of the direction we have taken.
The agreement was brokered by the real estate agency 108 Agency. Prologis Park Prague-Airport consists of two buildings with a total area of 61,300 square meters. The park is located just a five-minute drive from Václav Havel Airport Prague, and the nearby D5 motorway provides excellent connections to national and international transport and trade routes.
With a portfolio of over 985,000 square meters of logistics and distribution space, Prologis is one of the largest providers of distribution facilities in the Czech Republic (as of March 31, 2016).
