Chimneys, steel and coal: The brownfield sites left behind by the iron and steel industries are ideal for brownfield development. In Dortmund, one of our core markets, Prologis acquired 16 hectares at the former premises for Westfalenhütte, where we are planning a roughly 90,000 square meter logistics park with three logistics facilities, our largest brownfield development in Germany to date. With optimal transport connections, the site is well suited for e-commerce companies. By revitalizing the land, Prologis is making a sustainable contribution to the city and helping create new jobs.

Space is scarce in Cologne, Germany. The excellent location—with consumers, a booming economy and outstanding infrastructure—has made this metropolis on the Rhine an exceptionally sought-after area for logistics companies. We acquired land on the former site of a refinery in the district of Niehl. Working with the city of Cologne, Prologis implemented numerous wildlife conservation measures by preparing alternative habitats and resettling species. We are planning a modern logistics park of approximately 60,000 square meters on 100,000 square meters of undeveloped land.

Development of Prologis Fokker Logistics Park at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport required extensive work to the property, which had previously been used by an aircraft manufacturer. The result, after many years of revitalization, is now the largest private airport-connected logistics park in Europe with the highest safety standards.
