Prologis, Inc. has announced a 55,000m² build-to-suit agreement at Prologis Park Liège with Skechers, a worldwide leader in the high performance and lifestyle footwear industry.
The development will be Skechers’ third expansion at Prologis Park Liège, increasing the company’s total space at the park to more than 100,000m². The site is a key component of Skechers’ European distribution network.
“Skechers began operating at the park in 2002 with 25,000m²,” said Bram Verhoeven, country manager, Prologis Benelux. “This increased in 2009 by 25,000 square meters. Skechers’ lease of another 55,000m² reflects our strong long-term partnership with this global company.”
Prologis Park Liège has direct access to the A40, a major road near Liège, in Belgium. Additionally, the park is close to the German and Dutch borders and is an hour’s drive from Brussels.
“This agreement will allow us to rapidly scale up our distribution capacity to meet our company’s plans for growth,” said Sophie Houtmeyers, VP, Skechers Europe.
Prologis has approximately 1.8 million m² of logistics and distribution space as of September 30, 2015.
