The transaction includes a 7,500square metre build-to-suit facility (DC6) and a 19,000 square metre lease in an existing building (DC4). DB Schenker is planning to consolidate its operations at this location, including its local headquarters office in Hungary.

The cross-dock build-to-suit facility will offer access for smaller trucks on one side and loading docks on the other. Building highlights include column-free warehouse space and side-loading ramps for trucks and vans. Construction is scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2014 with completion expected in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Only Prologis could offer a combination of an existing facility with a new development and the potential to expand within the park in the future.”
