Ben Bannatyne, managing director, Prologis Central & Eastern Europe, said: “With 2013 leasing activity totalling more than one million square metres, combined with three new build-to-suit facilities and a measured return to speculative development, we begin 2014 with a positive outlook. We will continue focusing on increasing occupancy within our current portfolio, as well as monetising our existing land bank in core markets such as Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania, in-line with our investment strategy.”
Prologis disposed of two parcels of land totalling nearly 31 hectares; 17.4 hectares in the Czech town of Breclav and 13.5 hectares in the Polish city of Wrocław.
