Prologis Inc. has announced two key promotions, appointing Travis Harvey as global head of development and Sheila Sutton as senior vice president and head of development management for its eastern region.
According to a news release, Harvey has assumed the responsibilities of Greg Bauer, who recently retired after 30 years with the real estate investment trust. He’ll now lead the company’s global development and construction platform across the Americas, Asia and Europe, bringing more than 20 years of industry experience to the role, including 11 years at Prologis.
Sutton, meantime, succeeds Harvey.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to build on the legacy Greg helped shape,” Harvey said. “Development is central to how we serve our customers, support the communities where we build and deliver value to investors. My focus will be on strengthening our platform, deepening our use of technology and data and continuing to support the talented teams that bring our projects to life around the world.”
Prior to joining Prologis, Harvey was vice president for land development with Flagler Global Logistics, where he was responsible for the development and monetization of strategic land assets in the state of Florida, the news release saud. He holds a bachelor’s in civil engineering from Florida International University and is a licensed professional engineer in the State of Florida.
Sutton most recently served as a vice president and development officer, overseeing new construction and development in Prologis’ New York and New Jersey markets. She joined the company in 2022 from Duke Realty, where she managed multiple build-to-suit projects throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania and oversaw the project management team responsible for the markets.
She holds a bachelor’s in building construction from Virginia Tech and an MBA from Villanova University. Sutton is also an accredited professional under the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program.
“Prologis has established a track record in the east region for delivering innovative, high-quality logistics projects in some of the most important hubs in the global supply chain, from Toronto down to Miami,” Sutton said. “I’m excited to build on that momentum with our teams, customers and local partners as we continue to deliver projects that support local economies and communities.”
Prologis’ logistics facilities play a critical role in communities and supply chains, helping move essential goods across the United States and globally, the news release said. In 2024, $3.2 trillion of goods produced or sold in the world flowed through the REIT’s warehouses and distribution centers, the company said, adding that its warehouses in the U.S. accounted for $2 trillion in throughput, supported nearly 700,000 direct jobs and generated a $229.6 billion GDP impact and $43 billion in tax revenues.
