    Mackie Automotive Systems selected ProLogis to expand and consolidate its
assembly and distribution efforts from two existing ProLogis-owned facilities
in the Great Southwest Submarket, adding more than 200,000 square feet of
industrial space.  Mackie Automotive expects to employ more than 400 people at
the new facility.

distribution capabilities to meet the increased demand from the General Motors
Arlington plant," said Bob Elledge, plant manager for Mackie Automotive
Systems.  "ProLogis provides us with the flexibility to quickly respond to our
customers' changing distribution needs both now and in the future."

capabilities.
    "I'm pleased that once again ProLogis was able to deliver a solution to
Mackie's immediate growth demands and develop a facility that will enable
Mackie to handle its future expansion requirements," said Mark Cashman, vice
