The latest investment by ProLogis European Properties increases its gross commitment in PEPF II to €225 million out of an anticipated overall total of €900 million, according to a statement.
Robert Watson, chief executive officer of ProLogis European Properties, said: “We believe the opportunity afforded by our investment to date of €225 million in PEPF II’s €1.4 billion and growing portfolio, in just over six months, exceeds what could have been achieved through direct investment on the open market.”

PEPF garnered a total of €3 billion commitments from 21 investors last year. CPP Investment Board, which invests the assets of the Canada Pension Plan, and an afiilliate of GIC Real Estate, the real estate investment arm of the Government of Singapore, were among the limited partners.
