The Company
Prologis is the global leader in logistics real estate with a focus on high-barrier, high growth markets. We own, manage and develop well-located, high-quality logistics facilities in 20 countries across four continents. Our portfolio centers on the world’s most vibrant centers of commerce and our scale across these locations allows us to better serve our customers’ diverse logistics requirements.
Logistics supply chains remain essential to our customers and the global economy. Long-term trends, including the growth of e-commerce and modernization of the supply chain, continue to drive demand toward creating supply chain resiliency through leasing additional space to store and distribute goods. This sustained demand has contributed to meaningful rent growth and low vacancy rates in recent years. We believe this demand is driven by three primary factors: (i) the re-positioning of our customer supply chains to accommodate the shift toward e-commerce and heightened service expectations; (ii) growth in overall consumption and households; and (iii) our customers’ increased focus on building supply chain efficiency. We believe these factors will sustain demand and low vacancy rates over the long term. In the near term, our proprietary metrics reveal renewed activity in customer leasing decisions as we entered 2025 despite the current economic and geopolitical environment.
Our teams actively manage our portfolio by providing comprehensive real estate services, including leasing, property management, development, acquisitions and dispositions. We invest significant capital into new logistics properties through acquisitions and development activity, including both built-to-suit and speculative development and redevelopment of properties into industrial properties and data centers. Proceeds from property dispositions, generally achieved by contributing newly developed properties to our co-investment ventures and selling of non-strategic properties to third parties, enable us to recycle capital back into our ongoing investment activities.
While the majority of our properties in the U.S. are wholly owned, we hold a significant ownership interest in properties both in the U.S. and internationally through our investment in co-investment ventures. Partnering with many of the world’s largest institutional investors through co-investment ventures allows us to expand our investment capacity, enhance and diversify our real estate returns and mitigate our exposure to foreign currency movements.
Our scale and customer-focused strategy have compelled us to expand the services we provide. Our 1.3 billion square foot portfolio has provided the foundation upon which we have built a platform of solutions to address challenges that our customers face in global fulfillment today. Through Prologis Essentials, we provide solutions to meet our customers’ operations and energy and sustainability needs. Our customer experience teams, proprietary technology and strategic partnerships are foundational to all aspects of our Prologis Essentials offerings. These resources allow us to provide our customers with unique and actionable insights and tools to help them make progress on sustainability goals and drive greater efficiency in their operations. Moreover, the principles of Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) are ingrained in our business strategy through our integrated approach to global impact and sustainability, which we believe creates value for our customers, investors, employees, and communities.
Our Global Presence
At December 31, 2024, we owned or had investments in, on a wholly owned basis or through co-investment ventures, properties and development projects expected to total approximately 1.3 billion square feet across the following geographies:
Throughout this discussion, we reflect amounts in the U.S. dollar, our reporting currency. Included in these amounts are consolidated and unconsolidated investments denominated in foreign currencies, principally the British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, euro and Japanese yen that are impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates when translated to U.S. dollars. We mitigate our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations by investing outside the U.S. through co-investment ventures, borrowing in the functional currency of our subsidiaries and utilizing derivative financial instruments.
