Employees work on the warehouse floor at one of Amazon.com Inc.'s fulfillment centers in Peterborough, U.K. Photographer: Chris Ratcliffe/Bloomberg -- European warehouses attracted record investment last year as Internet retail growth boosted demand for storage space close to the homes of online shoppers. Investment climbed by 28 percent to 21.7 billion euros , according to Jones Lang LaSalle Inc.
