Type AIA LU AICP CM Concurrent Session Open to All Attendees
Get an inside look at how scale, proximity, and long-term conviction drive value creation in modern industrial markets. This session will explore how the acquisition of a 950,000-square-foot portfolio on the San Francisco Peninsula fits into a broader strategy: deepening presence in high-barrier submarkets through adjacency and operational leverage. Learn how Prologis identified the opportunity to expand its existing footprint, creating a cluster of high-performing assets that reinforce one another operationally, financially, and strategically. Hear directly from the investment and marketing teams about how critical mass in a submarket amplifies pricing power, tenant optionality, and land control. The discussion will unpack what made this portfolio compelling, and how proximity to an existing multibuilding campus enhanced the business case and long-term positioning for market penetration.
