Marq Logistics (“Marq”), a global leader in the development and operation of modern logistics facilities, formerly GLP Brazil, announced today that it has leased 220,000 square meters of the new Marq development in Guarulhos (“GLP Guarulhos III”) to a large global customer. The agreement reflects the largest real estate lease transaction recorded to date within Brazil’s logistics sector in square meters, according to data from JLL, and will support the customer in meeting its highly complex operational needs in Guarulhos.

Construction of GLP Guarulhos III, a 250,000-square-meter facility, is expected to be completed in Q4 2026. While initially conceived as a speculative development, Marq and the customer have entered into a build-to-suit (BTS) agreement to customize part of the asset to the customer’s operational needs. 

The customer's decision to lease the facility was driven by three key factors: the building’s modern infrastructure, strategic location and Marq’s capabilities in delivering customized solutions for customers’ highly complex logistics operations. 

"This agreement marks a historic milestone for Marq in Brazil and for the logistics sector as a whole, and we are proud to deliver the country’s largest logistics real estate lease ever recorded," said Mauro Dias, Head of Brazil Real Estate at Ares Management, a leading global alternative investment manager. “This lease reflects our customer's confidence in the quality of our developments, the technical capacity of our team and our credibility as an operator of choice, and we look forward to supporting the customer’s success as it scales its operations.” 

Marq is committed to developing high-performance logistics assets in Brazil with a focus on sustainability. Marq’s facilities integrate technologies that decrease energy and water consumption and use materials with reduced environmental impact to drive efficiency and help generate operating cost savings. Marq also seeks to incorporate architectural designs that optimize air circulation and natural lighting to enhance the customers’ employee experience. Marq’s portfolio targets global certification standards for new developments, including LEED, or equivalent, green building certifications.
