US logistics giant Prologis has signed a 71,000 m2 build-to-suit agreement near Paris with Action, a Dutch non-food discount retailer.
The facility will be part of Prologis Park Moissy 2 located to the south east of Paris. The project will take place in two phases, resulting in 12 units, eight of which will have cross docking capabilities.
It is part of a wider development as in the long term the building will be composed of 16 units totaling 96,000 m2 industrial space.
The facility will be Action’s first distribution centre outside the Netherlands and will serve more than 150 stores in France. Action, which sells more than 5,000 products in its 579 stores, plans to accelerate its openings in France.
'We were looking for a national logistics platform in France that was able to support our growth plan,' said Vincent Bröring, Supply Chain director, Action. 'Prologis is meeting our tight deadline with a modern, well-located, and customized facility.'
Prologis Park Moissy 2 will total 230,000 m2 of sustainable logistics facilities at full build-out.
Diagma acted as council for Action.
