Logistic Properties of the Americas Will Increase its Footprint in the Peruvian Market with the Development of a New 215,300 Square-Foot Facility at Parque Logístico Callao
Logistic Properties of the Americas (NYSE:LPA) ("LPA" or the "Company") announced today its plan to expand the Parque Logístico Callao property with the construction of Building 200, a new 215,300 sq. ft. facility and thereby increasing its footprint in the Peruvian market. This facility is already 73.1% pre-leased to LPA's existing clients, including Peru's largest consumer products company, which has committed to lease 96,000 sq. ft., and to the country's largest pharmacy chain, which has pre-leased 67,000 sq. ft. Both pre-leases are denominated in U.S. dollars.
This additional leasing activity comes on the heels of LPA's January 16th announcement that Building 100 at Parque Logístico Callao had reached 100% capacity through a US dollar denominated lease with a leading third-party logistics provider.
Strategically located in Callao, Peru's main logistics hub, the new facility will provide seamless connectivity to the Port of Callao and Jorge Chávez International Airport, positioning it well to meet the growing demand for superior industrial space in the region.
"LPA's most recent expansion effort is aligned with our strategy to develop top-tier logistics facilities in the most strategically relevant and high-growth markets in Latin America," said Esteban Saldarriaga, CEO of LPA. "The new facility's strong pre-leasing activity highlights the trust that prominent regional and global companies have in our capability to deliver first-rate industrial facilities, which support their operational growth and profitability."
Alvaro Chichayan, LPA's Country Manager for Peru, added, "Peru's logistics sector is evolving rapidly, and we are proud to foster its growth by delivering top quality industrial space tailored to our tenants' individual needs. The substantial leasing commitments from local market leaders underscores Parque Logístico Callao's strategic importance as a premier location for businesses looking to optimize their critical supply chains."
The new development is scheduled to be completed in the first half of 2026. Leasing opportunities are still available for the remaining space. With the addition of Building 200, Parque Logístico Callao will feature four state-of-the-art Class A buildings totaling 1,044,432 square feet of Gross Leasable Area, which will serve Lima's over eleven million residents. Parque Logístico Callao is designed to meet EDGE certification standards, with select buildings targeting LEED Gold certification thus reinforcing LPA's commitment to sustainability and efficiency.
