| ProLogis develops industrial warehouse in Rome ProLogis, the world's largest owner, manager and developer of distribution facilities, announced that it will develop a new, state-of-the-art industrial warehouse in Rome to serve growing demand for distribution space in southern Italy. The facility, ProLogis' first in the Rome area, will total approximately 323,000 square feet. It will be located on recently acquired land in the city of Anagni along the A1 motorway, the country's primary north-south transit corridor. ProLogis Park Anagni will be located approximately 32 miles south of Rome's central business district. The site offers easy access to the Rome ringroad, the main highway around the Italian capital, as well as the Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport and the Port of Civitavecchia. ProLogis plans to begin construction of the new facility in the second quarter of 2007, and will market the building to retailers, manufacturers, logistics providers and other companies with large-scale distribution needs in the area. ProLogis currently operates more than 6.2 million square feet of distribution space in Italy, concentrated around the markets of Milan, Bologna, Padua and Turin. Major customers in Italy include Ceva Logistics (TNT), NYK, Geodis, ND Logistics and Indesit Group. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
