Blackstone, Prologis Fight for Warehouse Real Estate Dominance

Two major investors are duking it out to become the dominant warehouse player. In one corner: Prologis, a public REIT with a market cap of $100 billion, a long history of investing in warehouses, 460 million square feet (42.7 million square metres) of warehouse space under management in the US and over 1 billion square feet globally.

In the other: Blackstone, a giant alternative investment firm with a market cap of $131 billion, which used its capital deployment skills over the past 12 years to bet big on warehouses, jumping from 70 million square feet in the US to 370 million square feet, and also operating 1 billion square feet globally.

China on Monday suddenly delayed the release of its economic data — including September housing sales — that was scheduled for this week. But there is little doubt that the property market is still in a dire shape and likely won’t get better without more determined help from Beijing.

While defaults for property developers in China have become a common event, the recent one from CIFI Holdings still rocked the market.

It blamed the missing payment on a weeklong holiday in China, which delayed the remittance of funds. Yet there have been speculation and media reports about its liquidity situation since last month.
