ProLogis (PLD), a leading global provider of distribution facilities, recently signed 3 new lease agreements spanning about 168,000 square feet of its development portfolio in Mexico. The continued leasing activities show signs of stabilization in the industrial property market fundamentals after a prolonged recession that pushed down the sector.

The lessee will occupy the space at ProLogis Park Pharr Bridge Building Eight, which is at close proximity to the Reynosa International Airport.

ProLogis also leased about 40,000 square feet to MarkIV AIS Mexico, a manufacturer of highly engineered systems and components for the global automotive and transportation markets. The lessee will occupy the space at ProLogis Park Apodaca in Monterrey in northeast Mexico. At the same time, approximately 20,000 square feet were leased to a manufacturer and distributor of paper products in Reynosa. The lessee will occupy the space at El Puente Industrial Center.
