Newmark Represents DCG Fulfillment in 190,000-Square-Foot Warehouse Lease in California’s Inland Empire

August 18, 2022 9:00 AM

Newmark[1] announces DCG Fulfillment has signed a 189,280-square-foot industrial lease at 13481 Valley Boulevard in Fontana, California. Newmark Executive Managing Directors Mark Kegans, SIOR and Ron Washle, SIOR represented DCG Fulfillment, a family-owned third-party logistics provider based in California's Inland Empire.

"We are happy to have completed another successful transaction for DCG Fulfillment," said Kegans. "With vacancy in the Inland Empire below 1%, options for tenants are few, and we were pleased to secure this prime distribution location for the company."

DCG's new space is part of a larger 600,080-square-foot industrial warehouse property located in the Inland Empire West. The property features cross-dock loading, approximately 5,000 square feet of office space, 35 dock-high doors, one grade-level door, 32-foot clear height, K-17 sprinklers, 800-amp power and parking for 116 automobiles and 150 truck trailers.

The property is situated just off Interstate 10 in Fontana, approximately 45 miles east of Los Angeles. The location provides access to major logistics and transportation locations along the West Coast, including Los Angeles International Airport and the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

Industrial vacancy in the Inland Empire remains the lowest in the U.S. at just 0.8% as of the second quarter of 2022, according to Newmark Research. Quarterly net absorption of 3.9 million square feet was propelled by occupancies of new construction deliveries. There is currently 39.9 million square feet of industrial space under construction in the market, a record high. As the Federal Reserve continues to increase interest rates to battle inflation, a gradual cooling of the unprecedented industrial market fundamentals across the U.S. is likely. However, as the nation's top industrial market, vacancy will likely be better insulated in the Inland Empire in the event a recession does occur.
