ProLogis (NYSE: PLD), has today, contributed over 630,000 square metres of modern distribution space in 24 buildings in eight European countries into PEPF II.  As at 30 June 2007, this portfolio is on average 1.5 years old, is fully occupied at 100% and, on average, has 8.6 years to lease expiry or 8.2 years to first lease break.  The properties were independently valued at €613.5 million.

The properties are located in ProLogis European Properties’ target markets across eight countries in Europe - Czech Republic, 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.”
