This is not your father’s warehouse.

Last Touch^TM distribution hubs are located close to population centers. In many cases, they use advanced automation and stock a wide range of high demand items. Often, Last Touch^TM facilities have smaller footprints than traditional warehouses and serve a slightly different function than their suburban or rural analogues. Last Touch^TM warehouses enable a small number of employees to handle a high volume of shipments, while also processing returns.

Prologis has Last Touch^TM facilities in major cities across the world to facilitate efficient delivery of goods to major population centers. As this model proves successful, Prologis is putting more capital investment into acquiring, developing and leasing properties that can provide Last Touch^TM commercial storage and warehousing services.

Sometimes, the only place to go is up.

Because land in cities is often scarce, existing structures are sometimes reconfigured to serve as Last Touch^TMdistribution centers. Prologis developed a multistory facility in Seattle, the first in the U.S. This is a more common practice in Asia where land for industrial real estate has long been scarce.
