NORTHAMPTONSHIRE, UK—Prologis, Inc., the global leader in industrial real estate, today announced it has signed a 420,000 square foot build-to-suit agreement with Eddie Stobart, a leading logistics operator in the U.K.
The rail-connected facility will be located at the second phase of Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT II) and has been designed to achieve BREEAM 'excellent' accreditation. DIRFT II's central location and proximity to major motorways provides direct access to over 98% of the British population.
