France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Spain and the UK.
A number of the buildings are within existing ProLogis Parks owned
by PEPR and expand our relationships with our major customers, such
as DHL, Keuhne and Nagel and Wincanton.
Robert Watson, chief executive officer of PEPR commented “We
are delighted with PEPF II’s acquisition of this portfolio of
modern distribution facilities and to expand, albeit indirectly,
into Slovakia. As many assets are adjacent to PEPR’s
directly owned facilities or within existing ProLogis Parks owned
by PEPR they complement our existing portfolio, increase our
critical mass and we believe will be accretive to overall
yields.”
