Prologis: Warehouses Go Power Hungry, Now Data Center Gods

If you thought Prologis just owned a casual 1.3 billion square feet of warehouses spread over 5,500 buildings worldwide, think again. By 2025, they plan to toss $8 billion at building data centers on 20 prime sites — probably to keep up with Nvidia and OpenAI's data-devouring machines, who just pledged a casual $100 billion to build their own 10-gigawatt AI mosh pit. Susan Uthayakumar, Chief Energy and Sustainability Overlord, boasted about their stockpile of 1.1 gigawatts power (with 300 megawatts baking in the oven) and visions of 10 gigawatts in a decade’s time, making them the US’s second largest on-site power generator. They've even engineered microgrids, because apparently skipping utility waiting lines is the new flex. In short: Prologis somehow turned warehouses into power plants for AI’s electric thirst, while we mere mortals fumble to pay the next rising electricity bill.

Prologis just decided warehouses weren’t boring enough and added data centers, $8 billion, and a power empire. Meanwhile, we're here struggling to keep our phones charged and pretending 10 gigawatts don’t sound like a death ray.

Who needs ‘build a bear’ when you can build 40 million square feet of warehouses doubling as power plants for AI overlords? Prologis just turned dull industrial real estate into the electric grid's reminder why it can’t take a break.
