VICTORVILLE, CA – March 22 marked a significant construction
milestone for Stirling Development as walls were set in place on Distribution
Centre 18 (DC 18).
The entire Stirling
Development team, City of Victorville and County of San Bernardino officials,
70 on-site construction workers, in addition to other guests took part in the
event. Short speeches were given by Dougall
Agan, CEO of Stirling Development; Victorville Mayor, Gloria Garcia; and San Bernardino County Supervisor, Robert Lovingood.
Anticipated for completion
this summer, the under construction 370,023-square-foot industrial facility is
located at Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA), an 8,500-acre
multimodal freight transportation hub which includes a 2,500-acre commercial
and industrial complex entitled for 60 million square feet of development in
Victorville.
The facility is already 47 percent pre-leased to Plastipak
Packaging, Inc., a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-quality,
rigid plastic containers for the food, beverage, and consumer products
industries. A lease for the remainder of the building is out for signature with
an undisclosed tenant.
As a testament of tenant
satisfaction and abundant growth opportunities in the High Desert, Plastipak
currently occupies approximately 312,000-square feet within SCLA including two
small warehouse locations and one 296,490-square-foot manufacturing facility.
After their expansion to DC 18 in July, Plastipak will extend its leased
occupancy to more than 486,000 SF at SCLA.

“Stirling is pleased to
make one more advancement in reaching our vision of making the High Desert
region a dominant hub for manufacturing and logistics on the West Coast,” said
Agan.
“The abundant opportunity for growth, adjacent logistics corridors, in-place
infrastructure and pro-business initiatives from the City of Victorville and
the County of San Bernardino are all factors that are feeding into the
expansion of existing companies here, as well as new users choosing to make
this region home.”
Agan added: “The High
Desert has virtually no vacant Class A industrial space which is further
validated by the preleasing of DC 18. SCLA can provide big box lease
opportunities in the $.30-.32 triple-net range which is two-thirds the cost of
facilities in the greater Inland Empire.”
“When fully occupied, Distribution Centre 18 is anticipated
to generate approximately 200 new jobs and an estimated total of 700 ancillary
jobs within the region,” said, Supervisor Lovingood. “We support the City and
Stirling in sharing a strong commitment to the growing the economy in the
Victor Valley over the next decade.”
“Just eleven months ago,
we celebrated the wall tilting on Distribution Center 13B at SCLA,” said
Victorville Mayor Garcia. “Having construction start on another large-scale
industrial facility so quickly really speaks to Victorville’s promise and
SCLA’s emergence as the location for industrial development in the region.”
