On May 21, 2024, industrial real estate giant Prologis hosted an open house to showcase its latest project at 1345 Doolittle Drive in San Leandro – Prologis Nexus. This project is the first of its kind – designed for a LEED Platinum rating. The project is a great example of the possibilities in San Leandro, where innovation, sustainability and value-add business and development thrive.

Prologis is one of San Leandro’s most prominent owners of industrial property, with over 30 San Leandro sites in its portfolio. Guests of the open house event included Mayor Juan Gonzalez, City Manager Janelle Cameron, and several City staff.

The 266,000 sf Prologis Nexus is a future-forward industrial space with Class A office style. Outfitted with ample power, 40′ clear heights, and easy access to ports and roads, the site is ideal for moving product efficiently. The building is crafted to the highest standards of both workplace and industrial design, with low-carbon features coming standard, aiming to help decarbonize the incoming tenant’s business.

The Nexus project is unique for Prologis and the Bay Area overall in that it is retrofitting an existing site and using features from the existing building rather than demolishing the entire site and constructing a new building. This approach is more sustainable and has helped the project to be designed to for a LEED Platinum rating with the U.S. Green Building Council.

The site reuses and builds upon the existing foundation, walls and other features of the prior building, which helps the project to achieve a 45% reduction in embodied carbon emissions from what would occur with a completely new building. The remainder of that reduction is achieved through building material reuse, use of low-carbon concrete, optimized slab, cross-laminated timber, and insulated metal panels.

Additionally, the property is equipped with 14 electric vehicle (EV) chargers, with the potential to add over 100 additional chargers. It is also capable of charging EV trucks. The site is solar-ready, utilizes LED lighting with dynamic controls, and utilizes low-carbon concrete throughout.

Prologis Nexus has a 185′ truck court, 289 auto parking and 52 trailer parking stalls, has 5,200 amps, 480 volts of power, 40 dock doors and two grade-level doors, along with 9,500 sf of Class A office space.
