Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) has announced a 410,006-square-foot lease for an industrial building located at 10721 Jasmine Street in Fontana.
NGKF Senior Managing Directors Ron Washle and Mark Kegans represented the owner Liberty Property Trust, a $9.5 billion real estate investment trust, and the tenant DCG Fulfillment in the 74-month lease. DCG is an Ontario, CA-based third party logistics provider that has been experiencing significant growth. This facility will be an expansion of its current warehouse portfolio.
“The Inland Empire market has remained strong as tenants continue to expand. Looking ahead, we see continued positive net absorption, more new construction, and record high growth in lease rates,” Washle said. “Net absorption in the Inland Empire reached just under 20 million square feet in 2016, making it one of the strongest markets in the country.”
“Throughout 2016 we saw strong demand for industrial space sized from 100,000 to 500,000 square feet, and see no reason that will change in 2017,” he added.
