ProLogis: The Sustainable Warehouse Construction Initiative

 |  from greenbuildingsNYC

Industrial construction is one particular sector of the building industry where sustainable efforts have remained relatively unremarked upon. Almost a year ago, we wrote one of gbNYC’s very few posts discussing industrial properties, noting a New York City-based owner called Pantheon Properties which had announced a plan to retrofit its nine-warehouse portfolio. Last week, a much larger industrial owner- ProLogis, the world’s biggest developer and owner of distribution facilities- revealed that it will implement a green initiative, including registering all of its future developments, as well as those currently in the design or planning stages, under the LEED system.
