· A lease extension totalling 48,400 square feet at ProLogis Park Sochaczew, near Warsaw, Poland. As a result of this transaction, DHL will now fully occupy Building Six at the park, for a total of 172,000 square feet. ProLogis Park Sochaczew comprises six buildings totalling 1.1m square feet. The park features rail siding, enabling ProLogis customers to take full advantage of the benefits of intermodal cargo transportation.
