Kuehne + Nagel plans to operate the facility on behalf of several clients including Whitbread plc, the U.K.'s largest hotel and restaurant company.
The second lease, totaling 34,400 m², is at ProLogis Park Isle d' Abeau, a 4.5 million-ft² distribution park located in the city of Lyon, France. Kuehne + Nagel operates the space as a multi-user site serving customers throughout southern France.

"We have the distinctive ability to meet our customers' strategic supply chain needs in more than 120 markets worldwide. The breadth of our portfolio, combined with our commitment to nurturing customer relationships, has been fundamental to supporting continued leasing activity in our inventory space throughout Europe."
ProLogis Park Wellingborough is located in the East Midlands, a top UK distribution location. The park comprises three fully-occupied facilities and offers strategic access to several major highways including the A14, A45 and M1. Other customers at the park include Monsoon Accessories and Homebase.
