Prologis has signed a lease agreement with Mall.cz for a 31,000 sqm build-to-suit facility at Prologis Park Prague-Jirny.

Mall.cz, an online consumer goods and electronics store, will relocate to a new customized facility with mezzanine floors, a gallery and bespoke state-of-the-art technology. Other features include 12.5-metre clear height, a superflat floor, strip skylights, an energy consumption monitoring system, air conditioning and electrically powered exterior sun blinds.

“Prologis is excited to play a key role in the development of e-commerce throughout the region,” said Martin Polak, senior vice president, country manager, Prologis Czech Republic and Slovakia. “This agreement reflects a trend in e-commerce for specialized logistics facilities that can meet the growing demand for online goods and services.”

Prologis Park Prague-Jirny comprises 212,000 sqm with the potential for an additional 120,000 sqm. The park, which is 97-percent leased, is 20 kilometres east of Prague with direct access to the D11 motorway for efficient distribution to local markets and neighboring countries.

“Our decision to move to a new distribution centre was based on driving profitability and serving our customers in a timely manner,” said Oldrich Petranek, International Operations Director, Mall.cz. “We needed a prime location and highly advanced, tailored distribution space. Prologis Park Prague-Jirny offers both.”
