ProLogis Leases 800,000 Square Feet to Kraft Foods in Chicago

DENVER, June 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ProLogis (NYSE: PLD), the world's largest owner, manager and developer of distribution facilities, announced today that it has leased an 800,000-square-foot industrial warehouse in suburban Chicago to Kraft Foods Global, Inc.

Total Logistics Control, Inc., a third-party distribution services provider, will operate the facility for Kraft. Located at ProLogis Park 80, a master-planned industrial park under development approximately 50 miles southwest of Chicago in the city of Morris, Illinois, the new facility will serve as a primary distribution center for Kraft's Nabisco-brand crackers and cookies, serving food retail outlets throughout the United States. Kraft currently leases more than 2.3 million square feet from ProLogis at locations throughout North America.

"This transaction underscores the long-term potential of the I-80 submarket as a location for regional and national bulk distribution," said Doug Kiersey, ProLogis senior vice president and regional director of capital deployment. "We've established a substantial portfolio of land in this area and have worked to ensure we have inventory available to capture large-scale opportunities as they arise. This strategy has paid real dividends for the company, allowing us to deliver more than 2 million square feet to high-quality customers over the past two years. We're extremely pleased to be working again with Kraft, one of the world's great companies, and look forward to serving as their facilities provider at their new location."

"ProLogis has consistently delivered the highest levels of quality and customer service over the course of its longstanding relationship with Kraft," said Rick Coughlin, Director of Logistics Operations at Kraft Foods. "Our new distribution facility at ProLogis Park 80 will substantially increase the efficiency of distribution for our Nabisco line of products and enhance our ability to serve our national customer base. We look forward to occupying the new facility and realizing the operational benefits it will deliver across our North American supply chain."

ProLogis Park 80 is located less than one mile from the I-80 interchange, the state's primary east-west corridor, and approximately 13 miles from I-55, a major north-south artery. The park is designed to accommodate distribution buildings ranging in size from 250,000 to over 1.2 million square feet.

ProLogis is one of Chicago's largest providers of distribution space, with more than 22 million square feet owned, managed or under development. Customers in Chicago include Anixter International; Clorox; Corporate Express; Gillette; Kellogg's USA; Konica Minolta; Kuehne + Nagel; and UPS.
