Build-to-Suit

ProLogis is an active developer of build-to-suit and design/build warehouse facilities. Over the past decade, the company has constructed more than 60 million square feet via its BTS program for a wide variety of customers in Asia, North America and Europe, including industry leaders like Coca-Cola, Honda, NYK, Ricoh and General Motors.

The build-to-suit option enables a customer to establish a state-of-the-art distribution facility in a specific location and with customized design features – without the time, costs and resources associated with land acquisition, development and property ownership.

The BTS development process involves close collaboration between ProLogis and its customers. ProLogis employs development professionals worldwide who are trained to incorporate customer distribution strategies and requirements into realized distribution centers. Project team members work closely with customers to determine locations for BTS facilities and incorporate specialized operational features into building design.

The design/build option provides ProLogis’ customers with a customized, turn-key distribution facility that the customer owns upon completion. ProLogis approaches the design/build project with the same collaborative style it uses with its build-to-suit customers. Since 1998, ProLogis has constructed over 6 million square feet of industrial space for customers under design/build fee agreements.
