10681 Production Avenue - Fontana, California
As one of the largest industrial acquisitions in the Inland Empire this year, the transaction underscores BLP's conviction in the long-term strength of Southern California's logistics ecosystem and its strategic importance to the U.S. supply chain.
The Inland Empire West is a critical logistics gateway connecting port activity, transportation networks, and national distribution channels. This transaction enables BLP to capitalize on a significant opportunity in a market with an extremely restricted supply of large-scale buildings.
"This is a defining acquisition, not just for BLP, but for the broader logistics market," said Paul Jones, Managing Director at Bridge Logistics Properties. "Assets of this scale, quality, and location are scarce. We moved decisively in this moment of peak dislocation, recognizing that the recovery in tenant demand for large, high-quality assets is outpacing available supply."
The cross-dock facility offers institutional-grade functionality engineered for modern distribution demands, including 220 dock-high doors, ESFR sprinklers, 185' truck courts, 274 trailer stalls, and immediate access to the I-10 freeway. BLP anticipates the property will be vacant Q1 2026, providing an opportunity to capitalize on improving market fundamentals for large buildings over one million square-feet.
With a limited pipeline of new mega-scale facilities, and with many corporate users actively re-evaluating their distribution footprints, BLP expects strong tenant engagement.
BLP plans to implement targeted enhancements to further elevate the building's readiness for lease up, including sprinkler head upgrades, dock packages, office improvements, and other make-ready upgrades. These enhancements are designed to maximize operational functionality and building aesthetic.
"The Inland Empire remains one of America's premier logistics markets with its population density and strategic port infrastructure," said Brian Gagne, CIO at Bridge Logistics Properties. "BLP's deeply-embedded local market teams enable the company to identify emerging supply and demand imbalances that create compelling opportunities for investment performance."
