SAN FRANCISCO—Prologis, Inc., says it has signed a build-to-suit agreement for two facilities in China with Deppon, a leading Chinese logistics provider, for a project totaling 452,000 square feet (41,957 square meters).

The new facilities will be located in southern China at the Prologis Dongguan Shipai Logistics Center and will serve as a regional distribution center for the East Pearl River Delta region. The development will feature an extended truck court to support Deppon's express inbound and outbound operations. The facilities are proximate to the Congguan Expressway, which will be completed by year-end and provide direct access to major cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
