“As leasing activity gradually increases in the Hungarian market, these transactions demonstrate that there is strong demand for our high-quality buildings and services not only from our existing customers, which provides a solid basis for our operation in Hungary, but also from new customers. We are firing on all cylinders,” said László Kemenes, senior vice president and country manager for Prologis in Hungary. “The excellent performance of our parks in Hungary reflects the efforts of our professional leasing and customer relations teams, as well as the outstanding quality and location of our parks.”
