Prologis has made its first dedicated appointment in Vancouver.

Matt Brock was hired as a vice-president and investment officer for the Vancouver market. Prologis expanded into the region in March with the acquisition of a warehouse in Delta, B.C., and plans to open a new office in Vancouver and hire a market leader that turned out to be Brock.

His primary task is to build out the global logistics real estate investment and development firm’s portfolio across the region. He will manage the portfolio while overseeing capital deployment and customer engagement.

“Prologis has long set the standard for the logistics real estate industry, and I’m proud to lead the charge in scaling the company’s footprint in Vancouver,” said Brock. “This market is a critical global logistics hub. As we look to build out our portfolio and market team, I’m excited to help further Prologis’ legacy of enabling smarter, more sustainable supply chains for our customers.”

Brock moved to Prologis following about nine years with Bosa Properties, a high-profile local real estate developer, working in development, strategy and investment. He managed numerous Bosa projects throughout B.C. and played a leading role in the firm’s expansion into the U.S.

Prologis ranks among Canada’s largest logistics property firms, managing a 12.5-million-square-foot portfolio.
