Prologis and GIC Form $1.6 billion U.S. Build-to-Suit Logistics Joint Venture
SAN FRANCISCO and SINGAPORE, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD) and GIC, a leading global institutional investor, have formed a $1.6 billion joint venture to develop and own build-to-suit logistics facilities across major U.S. markets, the companies announced today.
The new venture includes $1.6 billion in combined capital commitments, which includes an initial portfolio of approximately 4.1 million square feet with additional capacity for future investments. Prologis is the world's largest logistics real estate company, with 1.3 billion square feet of properties in 20 countries and $230 billion of assets under management.
"Build-to-suit activity continues to be one of the clearest signals of customer conviction across our business," said Daniel S. Letter, chief executive officer of Prologis. "This joint venture with GIC builds on that momentum by pairing our platform and development expertise with a partner that shares our long-term perspective."
The venture combines Prologis' development and operating platform with long-term institutional capital and will operate within Prologis Strategic Capital, the company's asset management business. It is designed to scale with demand as customer commitments are secured.
"With strong e-commerce growth, the re-shoring of supply chains and resilient consumer spending, industrial remains a strong long-term investment theme in North America," said Goh Chin Kiong, chief investment officer of Real Estate, GIC. "Our partnership with Prologis, a best-in-class operator, reflects our shared conviction in the sector and likeminded approach to deploying capital with discipline across cycles."
Build-to-suit has proven resilient as customers prioritize certainty around location, functionality and long-term occupancy. Facilities are increasingly designed to support automation, high throughput and proximity to end markets, which makes purpose-built development a practical solution for supply chains that keep evolving.
For institutional investors, build-to-suit also offers a distinct risk profile. These projects are typically pre-leased and built for long-term use, often supported by customers that view the facility as mission-critical to their network.
The joint venture reinforces Prologis Strategic Capital as a growth platform, enabling Prologis to invest alongside institutional partners while bringing its development, operating and customer capabilities to each partnership.

The Shopify Stock Rally Isn't Done: Chart of the Week -- Barrons.com
By Doug Busch Shopify is no longer a pandemic-era growth story that simply failed to slow down. It is compounding at a pace few software platforms its size still manage. In the second quarter of 2026, sales on its platform rose 32%. That was the fifth straight quarter of growth exceeding 30%. Merchants are also using more of Shopify's own tools, from payments to Shop Pay, and new channels like AI shopping agents are starting to increase demand. The simple bull case is that the stock already commands a huge share of independent online commerce, and that position should become more valuable as more buying moves through its checkout. A rule of market mechanics is that the vast majority of an individual security's gain is driven by its underlying sector. Within technology, software has staged a robust recovery, joining semiconductors to power the broader sector higher. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF has maintained an upward trajectory since its mid-April lows, though the advance from $74 to $112 has been choppy as bulls repeatedly stepped in to defend when necessary. Breadth across large-cap software has expanded significantly, with 24 constituents surging over 20% over the past three months. During that same three-month window, Shopify generated outstanding relative strength, advancing 36%, more than doubling the IGV's 17% gain over the same period. Expect the stock's outperformance to persist as software momentum broadens. Let's examine the daily and monthly charts to outline the technical drivers behind this thesis. Looking at the daily chart, the ratio chart against the IGV shows persistent outperformance extending back to mid-May. The stock is riding an eight-session winning streak, during which price action cleared a double-bottom-with-handle pivot at $151.39. Within this broader base, the stock recorded a bullish golden cross in late August and successfully filled its Sept. 10 price gap, tracing back to its Aug. 4 session, the day before a powerful earnings reaction sent the stock surging 17% hi
