Prologis Leases 26,400 Square Meters in Hanover

“The logistics park in Hanover continues to be fully let thanks to these two signed agreements,” said Philipp Feige, vice president, market officer Germany at Prologis. “The food retailer needed the space at short notice, and the previous tenant was able to release the use of the facility early. This flexibility has been a great help to our new customer.” Prologis will also take care of property management for both companies.
