Prologis, Inc., the global leader in logistics real estate, today announced that it has signed a 42,170 square metre build-to-suit (BTS) agreement with Agata at Prologis Park Piotrków II in Poland. Real estate agency CBRE facilitated the transaction.

Agata is one of the leading and longest-operating Polish distributors of furniture, interior furnishings, decorative items, lamps and textiles. It currently operates 19 large retail outlets in all major Polish cities and two central warehouses.

Our desire to optimise our operational costs and processes, resulting from the dynamic growth of our company, has led us to establish a single national distribution centre in Central Poland, located at Prologis Park Piotrków II. We selected Prologis' offer because we decided to entrust this important part of our business to a proven and reliable partner. This agreement strengthens our positive co-operation, which dates back to 2010 when we signed our first lease agreement for distribution space at Prologis Park Wrocław
