Prologis's strategic initiatives have contributed to its success. The company signed leases for a total of 58 million square feet and initiated new build-to-suit projects with strategic customers.

The company's strong financial position, described as a "fortress balance sheet" by CFO Timothy D. Arndt, with a debt-to-equity ratio of approximately 0.58, enables Prologis to adapt swiftly to changing environments.
