Exhibit 99.3
ELECTION FORM
To Accompany Shares of Common Stock
of
Catellus Development Corporation
 
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 5, 2005
 
        This election form is to be used to surrender your certificates representing shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Catellus Development Corporation (“Catellus Common Stock”) and to make an election in connection with the merger (the “Merger”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 5, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among ProLogis, Palmtree Acquisition Corporation, a subsidiary of ProLogis, and Catellus Development Corporation (“Catellus”).
      Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each holder of Catellus Common Stock may elect to receive either $33.81 in cash, without interest, or 0.822 of a ProLogis common share of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (a “ProLogis Common Share”), for each share of Catellus Common Stock that such holder owns as of the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”). Catellus stockholders may elect to receive their merger consideration in the form of cash, ProLogis Common Shares or a combination of both. Catellus stockholder elections will be reallocated and prorated to fix the cash portion of the merger consideration at $1.255 billion, which means that the total consideration paid by ProLogis pursuant to the Merger Agreement will consist of about 65% ProLogis Common Shares and about 35% cash. Accordingly, a Catellus stockholder may actually receive a combination of cash and ProLogis Common Shares that is different from what that stockholder elected, depending on the elections made by other Catellus stockholders.
      In order to make a proper election, you must deliver a duly executed election form, together with your Catellus stock certificate(s) or a guarantee of delivery of such stock certificates (unless your shares of Catellus Common Stock are held in book-entry form), to Computershare Shareholder Services, Inc. (formerly EquiServe) (the “Exchange Agent”) no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on September 13, 2005 (the “Election Deadline”). All elections will be irrevocable after 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Election Deadline. If you do not make a valid election, you will be deemed to have made a “no preference election,” as described below.

      IMPORTANT: Even if you make a cash election or share election, or a combination of both, the form of merger consideration you receive may be different than what you elected as a result of the reallocation and proration provisions contained in the Merger Agreement. These reallocation and proration provisions are described in detail in the joint proxy statement/ prospectus of ProLogis and Catellus dated August 10, 2005.
 
      By signing and delivering this election form, you agree to submit the stock certificates listed above representing shares of Catellus Common Stock and to make one (or a combination) of the following elections regarding the type of merger consideration that you wish to receive in exchange for your shares of Catellus Common Stock (subject, in each case to the reallocation and proration provisions contained in the Merger Agreement) as of the Effective Time: (1) a “cash election” pursuant to which each share of Catellus Common Stock will be converted into $33.81 in cash, without interest; (2) a “share election” pursuant to which each share of Catellus Common Stock will be converted into 0.822 of a ProLogis Common Share; or (3) a “no preference election” pursuant to which the undersigned’s shares of Catellus Common Stock will be converted into either $33.81 in cash, without interest, or 0.822 of a ProLogis Common Share, or a combination of both, depending on the elections made by other Catellus stockholders. If the Merger is not completed for any reason, you understand that any election you make will be void and have no effect and that any Catellus stock certificates you submit herewith shall be promptly returned to you.
      If Catellus stock certificates are not delivered with this election form, you agree to furnish a guarantee of delivery of such stock certificates from a member of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer of your shares of Catellus Common Stock into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC.
      ProLogis uses a direct registration (book entry) program with respect to record ownership of ProLogis Common Shares. Direct registration allows ProLogis Common Shares to be owned, reported and transferred electronically without having a physical share certificate issued. Ownership of a ProLogis Common Share is recorded in the name of the owner electronically on the books and records maintained for ProLogis by its transfer agent, Computershare Shareholder Services, Inc. (formerly EquiServe). Direct registration is intended to alleviate problems relating to stolen, misplaced or lost share certificates and to reduce the paperwork relating to the transfer of ownership of ProLogis Common Shares. Under direct registration, the voting, dividend and other rights and benefits of holders of ProLogis Common Shares are the same as for the holders of share certificates.
      If you make a share election, after the Effective Time, the total number of ProLogis Common Shares you will receive will be the product of the 0.822 exchange ratio and the number of shares of Catellus Common Stock subject to the share election, as adjusted by the reallocation and proration provisions of the Merger Agreement. You will be issued the appropriate number of full ProLogis Common Shares through direct registration (book entry) and a cash payment (without interest, rounded to the nearest whole cent) for any fraction of a ProLogis Common Share that you would have otherwise been entitled to receive based on the average closing price of a ProLogis Common Share on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten trading days immediately preceding the Effective Time (as reported in The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source).
      If you receive ProLogis Common Shares, those shares will be credited to your direct registration (book entry) account. As soon as reasonably practicable following the crediting of such shares, you will receive an account statement from ProLogis’ transfer agent evidencing your share holdings, as well as general information on the book-entry form of ownership through ProLogis’ direct registration system. You are not required to maintain a book-entry account, and you may at any time obtain a physical share certificate for all or a portion of any ProLogis Common Shares you receive in the Merger at no cost to you. Instructions describing how you can obtain certificates for any ProLogis Common Shares you receive in the Merger will be included with the account statement mailed to you and can also be obtained upon request directly from ProLogis’ transfer agent.
      You understand that if you make a cash or share election (or a combination of both), the form of the merger consideration you actually receive may be adjusted as a result of the reallocation and proration provisions contained in the Merger Agreement, which provide that the total amount of cash payable to Catellus stockholders in the Merger is fixed at $1.255 billion less the amount of cash payable with respect to Catellus stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards that will be canceled pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the

Aggregate Cash Consideration”). You understand that if the cash election is undersubscribed and you have made a share election or a no preference election, the reallocation and proration procedures in the Merger Agreement will cause you to receive cash for some or all of your shares of Catellus Common Stock to the extent necessary to have the total number of cash election shares after such reallocation and proration multiplied by $33.81 equal the Aggregate Cash Consideration. You understand that if the cash election is oversubscribed and you have made a cash election, the reallocation and proration procedures in the Merger Agreement will cause you to receive ProLogis Common Shares for some or all of your shares of Catellus Common Stock to the extent necessary to have the total number of cash election shares remaining after such reallocation and proration multiplied by $33.81 equal the Aggregate Cash Consideration.
      Computershare Shareholder Services, Inc. (formerly EquiServe) will act as the Exchange Agent. This election form should be completed, signed and submitted, together with your Catellus stock certificate(s) or a guarantee of delivery of such certificates (unless your shares are held in book entry form), to:

You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Payers must generally withhold 28% of taxable interest, dividend and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.
Penalties
(1) Penalty for Failure to Furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a payer, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.
(2) Civil and Criminal Penalties for False Information. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis which results in no imposition of backup withholding, you will be subject to additional civil penalties. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may also subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

INSTRUCTIONS
      You will not receive the merger consideration in exchange for your shares of Catellus common stock until after the merger is completed and the certificates representing such shares (or a guarantee of delivery of such stock certificates or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer of your shares of Catellus Common Stock) are delivered to the Exchange Agent at the address set forth on page 4, together with this election form and such documents as the Exchange Agent may require, and are processed by the Exchange Agent. No interest will accrue on any amounts due.
A. Election Deadline and Changing or Revoking Your Election.
      1. Election Deadline. To be effective, an election on this election form must be properly completed, signed, delivered to and received by the Exchange Agent, together with your Catellus stock certificates, a proper guarantee of delivery of such stock certificates or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer of your shares of Catellus Common Stock into the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC, at the address set forth above, no later than the Election Deadline. All elections will be irrevocable after 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Election Deadline. Catellus stockholders whose Catellus stock certificates are not immediately available for delivery may also make an election by completing this election form, with the “Guarantee of Delivery” properly completed and duly executed (subject to the condition that such stock certificates, the delivery of which is thereby guaranteed, are in fact delivered to the Exchange Agent, duly endorsed in blank or otherwise in a form acceptable for transfer on the books of Catellus, no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the third business day after the Election Deadline). Catellus stockholders whose election forms and stock certificates (or proper guarantees of deliveries) are not so received will not be entitled to specify their preference as to the form of merger consideration that they may receive and will be deemed to have made a “no preference election.” See Instruction C.
      2. Change or Revocation of Election. All elections will be irrevocable after 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Election Deadline. A Catellus stockholder who has made an election may change that election at any time prior to the Election Deadline by contacting the Exchange Agent to receive instructions on how to withdraw the original election. The Exchange Agent will direct the Catellus stockholder to submit a withdrawal request in writing by mail or facsimile. Upon receipt of the withdrawal request, the Exchange Agent will return the original election form and, if the Catellus stockholder is the registered owner of the shares of Catellus Common Stock, any stock certificates representing such shares that were submitted with the original election form. The Catellus stockholder must then submit another properly completed election form. A Catellus stockholder who has made an election through a broker must follow the directions received from that broker to change the original election. A Catellus stockholder will be unable to change an election if these procedures are not fully completed prior to the Election Deadline.
      3. Nullification of Election. All election forms will be void and of no effect if the Merger is not completed for any reason, and any Catellus stock certificates submitted therewith shall be promptly returned.
B. Types of Elections
      Each Catellus stockholder may make one (or a combination) of the following elections with respect to the type of merger consideration the stockholder wishes to receive in exchange for the stockholder’s shares of Catellus Common Stock (understanding that an election is subject to reallocation and proration as described herein and in the joint proxy statement/prospectus and the Merger Agreement): (1) a “cash election,” which is an election to convert a share of Catellus Common Stock into $33.81 in cash, without interest; (2) a “share election,” which is an election to convert a share of Catellus Common Stock into 0.822 of a ProLogis Common Share; or (3) a “no preference election,” which will result in a share of Catellus Common Stock being converted into either $33.81 in cash, without interest, or 0.822 of a ProLogis Common Share, or a combination of both, depending on the elections made by other Catellus stockholders.

      By properly completing Box B entitled “Type of Election,” each Catellus stockholder may elect the form of merger consideration that the stockholder desires to receive in exchange for the stockholder’s shares of Catellus Common Stock.
C. Reallocation and Proration Procedures.
      All elections are subject to the reallocation and proration provisions contained in the Merger Agreement. A description of the reallocation and proration procedures is set forth in the joint proxy statement/prospectus under the sections of that document entitled “The Merger Agreement — Reallocation of Catellus Stockholder Elections” and in Section 1.7 of the Merger Agreement. In connection with making any election, each Catellus stockholder should read carefully the information contained in the joint proxy statement/prospectus.

No signature guarantee on this election form is required (a) if this election form is signed by the registered holder of the Catellus stock certificates surrendered herewith, unless such holder has completed Box E entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” on this election form, or (b) if the Catellus stock certificates are surrendered for the account of a member firm of a registered national securities exchange, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, or any other “eligible guarantor institution” as such term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively, “Eligible Institutions”).

If your Catellus stock certificates are sent by mail, it is recommended that they be sent by registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested. Risk of loss and title to your Catellus stock certificates shall pass upon delivery of those stock certificates to the Exchange Agent.
      All questions as to validity, form and eligibility of any surrender of any Catellus stock certificate hereunder will be determined by ProLogis (which it may delegate in whole or in part to the Exchange Agent) and such determination shall be final and binding. ProLogis reserves the right to waive any irregularities or defects in the surrender of any Catellus stock certificates, provided that a surrender will not be deemed to have been made until all irregularities have been cured or waived.

If the Catellus stock certificates surrendered are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all owners must sign this election form.
      If any shares of Catellus Common Stock are registered in different names on several stock certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate election forms as there are different registrations of such stock certificates.

      When this election form is signed by the registered owner(s) of the Catellus stock certificates listed and surrendered herewith, no endorsements of such stock certificates or separate stock powers are required. If this election form is signed by a person other than the registered owner of the Catellus stock certificates listed, such stock certificates must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock power(s), in either case signed by the registered owner or owners or a person with full authority to sign on behalf of the registered owner. Signatures on such stock certificates or stock power(s) must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution that is a member of a Medallion Signature Guarantee Program. See Instruction D-1.
      If this election form or any Catellus stock certificate or stock power is signed by an executor, administrator, trustee, guardian, attorney, officer of a corporation or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons must so indicate when signing, must give his or her full title in such capacity, and evidence satisfactory to the Exchange Agent of his or her authority to so act must be submitted. The Exchange Agent will not exchange any Catellus stock certificates until all instructions herein are complied with.
      5. Stock Transfer Taxes. In the event that any transfer or other taxes become payable by reason of the issuance of the merger consideration in any name other than that of the record holder, such transferee or assignee must pay such tax to the Exchange Agent or must establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.
      6. Special Payment and Delivery Instructions. If the merger consideration to be received by the undersigned is to be issued in the name of a person other than the signer of this election form or if such merger consideration is to be sent to someone other than the holder of record, then Box D and/or Box E, as appropriate, should be completed.
      7. Substitute Form W-9. Under U.S. federal income tax law, payments that may be made to a Catellus stockholder surrendering stock certificates pursuant to the Merger may be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 28%. To prevent backup withholding on any payment made to a surrendering Catellus stockholder pursuant to the Merger, a surrendering stockholder who is a U.S. person is required to notify the Exchange Agent of the surrendering stockholder’s current taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) by completing the enclosed Substitute Form W-9, certifying that the TIN provided on that form is correct (or that the stockholder is awaiting a TIN), and that (i) the surrendering stockholder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the stockholder is subject to backup withholding as a result of failure to report all interest or dividends or (ii) after being so notified, the Internal Revenue Service has notified the surrendering stockholder that the stockholder is no longer subject to backup withholding. If the Exchange Agent is not provided with the correct TIN, a surrendering stockholder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and payments that are made to the surrendering stockholder with respect to stock certificates pursuant to the Merger may be subject to backup withholding (see below).
      Each surrendering Catellus stockholder who is a U.S. person is required to give the Exchange Agent the TIN (for example, a Social Security number or employer identification number) of the record holder of the stock certificate(s). If the stock certificates(s) are registered in more than one name or are not registered in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed “Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9” for additional guidance on which number to report. A surrendering Catellus stockholder who is a U.S. person who does not have a TIN may check the box in Part II of the Substitute Form W-9 if the stockholder has applied for a number or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future. If the box in Part II is checked, the surrendering stockholder must also complete the “Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number” below in order to avoid backup withholding. If the box in Part II is checked, payments made will be subject to backup withholding unless the surrendering stockholder has furnished the Exchange Agent with his or her TIN by the time payment is made. A surrendering stockholder who checks the box in Part II in lieu of furnishing such holder’s TIN should furnish the Exchange Agent with such holder’s TIN as soon as it is received.
      Certain surrendering stockholders (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding requirements. To avoid possible erroneous backup

withholding, a surrendering stockholder who is a U.S. person and who is exempt from backup withholding should complete the Substitute Form W-9 by providing his, her or its correct TIN, signing and dating the form, and writing “Exempt” on the face of the form. A surrendering stockholder who is a foreign individual or a foreign entity should submit to the Exchange Agent a properly completed Form W-8BEN, Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding, instead of Form W-9, signed under penalty of perjury, attesting to the surrendering stockholder’s exempt status. Catellus stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine whether they are exempt from these backup withholding and reporting requirements.
      If backup withholding applies, the Exchange Agent is required to withhold 28% of any payments to be made to the surrendering stockholder. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained by filing a tax return with the Internal Revenue Service. The Exchange Agent cannot refund amounts withheld by reason of backup withholding.
      8. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any of your Catellus stock certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, you should notify Catellus’ transfer agent, American Stock Transfer and Trust (the “Catellus Transfer Agent”), in writing immediately for instruction. The Catellus Transfer Agent may require you to execute an affidavit and indemnity agreement in connection with such lost or destroyed stock certificates and such other documents as it may request. The Catellus Transfer Agent may require you to reimburse it for certain fees and expenses in connection with any shares of Catellus Common Stock represented by lost, stolen or destroyed stock certificates. Please call the Catellus Transfer Agent at (800) 937-5449 with any questions.
      9. Information and Additional Copies. Information and additional copies of this election form may be obtained by writing to Georgeson Shareholder Services at 17 State Street — 10th Floor, New York, New York 10005 or by calling (866) 729-6804. For Banks/Brokers please call: (212) 440-9800.

[COVER LETTER TO CATELLUS STOCKHOLDERS GENERALLY]
August 15, 2005
To the Holders of Catellus Development Corporation Common Stock:
      On June 5, 2005, Catellus Development Corporation entered into an agreement and plan of merger, as amended August 8, 2005, with ProLogis and Palmtree Acquisition Corporation, a subsidiary of ProLogis. In the proposed merger, Catellus will become a subsidiary of ProLogis.
      In connection with the merger, you have the right to elect to receive either $33.81 in cash, without interest, or 0.822 of a ProLogis common share for each share of Catellus common stock that you own as of the effective time of the merger. You may elect to receive the merger consideration in the form of cash, ProLogis common shares or a combination of both. Catellus stockholder elections will be reallocated and prorated to fix the cash portion of the merger consideration at $1.255 billion, which means the total merger consideration paid by ProLogis will consist of about 65% ProLogis common shares and about 35% cash. Accordingly, you may actually receive a combination of cash and ProLogis common shares that is different than what you elected, depending on elections made by other Catellus stockholders. A complete description of the merger agreement and of the election, proration and reallocation procedures is included in the joint proxy statement/prospectus of ProLogis and Catellus that was mailed under separate cover to you on or about August 15, 2005.

If you hold Catellus shares that are represented by Catellus stock certificate(s), you must also include your Catellus stock certificate(s) with the Election Form. If you hold your Catellus shares in book-entry form, you only need to return the Election Form. Please use the enclosed envelope to return your Election Form and related documents to the Exchange Agent.
      FOR YOUR ELECTION TO BE EFFECTIVE, THE EXCHANGE AGENT MUST RECEIVE YOUR ELECTION FORM TOGETHER WITH OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING YOUR CATELLUS STOCK CERTIFICATE(S), IF APPLICABLE) AT THE ADDRESS ON THE ELECTION FORM NO LATER THAN 5:00 P.M., EASTERN TIME, ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2005.
