Prologis Plans $4.5–$5.5B Development Spend, 40% for AI Data Centers
PLD sits 39% above its 52-week low of $103.41.
Summary
Prologis is ramping development spending to $4.5–$5.5 billion this year, a sharp increase from $3.1 billion, with roughly 40% directed at data centers to capture AI-driven demand.

The scale of the investment and the AI focus suggest management sees durable demand beyond traditional warehousing.
