VICTORVILLE, CA (December 6, 2016) – Stirling Development has commenced construction of Distribution Centre 18, a 370,023-square-foot industrial facility 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. Additionally, as testimony to high user demand within the region, the facility has already been 42 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.
“We are pleased that Plastipak is choosing to expand in the High Desert region and specifically within Southern California Logistics Airport,” said Brian D. Parno, Chief Operating Officer for Stirling Development. “Our project continues to bring much needed jobs to the High Desert region, and we are confident that the rest of the facility will be leased prior to completion as we have had significant interest from large users who appreciate the facility as well as its strategic business location.”
Plastipak will use the facility for warehousing needs and plans to expand its presence within SCLA once the property is completed in summer 2017.
