Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD): Overblown concerns to exposure in Europe. The company should be in a good position to benefit from a market recovery. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, but owns and operates industrial and retail properties worldwide.

Boston Properties (NYSE: BXP): Company not to negatively affected by weakness in Washington DC as office fundamentals in the gateway/CBD markets are mainly positive.
