CenterPoint Properties Announces Acquisition of Port-Proximate Long Beach, Calif. Facility
Oak Brook, IL (PRWEB) January 30, 2014 -- CenterPoint Properties proudly announces the acquisition of an 187,986 SF port-proximate facility on 10.2 acres located at 100 W. Victoria Street, Long Beach, Calif. Jeff Smart of Colliers International and Steve Sprenger of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, represented CenterPoint in the transaction.
The highly functional logistics facility is fully occupied by International Cargo Terminals (ICT) who specializes in the loading, devanning and transloading of international shipping containers. The property focuses on transloading containers to and from the Ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach. Redeveloped in 2011, this property features 60 dock high loading and 60 trailer positions, a 12,000 SF office space, secured access, low drayage rates, and significant land space for container storage.
There are few properties existing in the South Bay area with similar facility features and location advantages. The property is nine miles from the Ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach, accessible from the adjacent 710 freeway, and 11 miles to the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail roads. The logistical advantages of the property maximize operational efficiencies by increasing truck turn frequency and maintaining a reliable schedule to and from the ports, while also reducing supply chain costs.
“We have acquired nearly 3 M SF in California over the last five years and this transaction further proves our commitment to the market. We ultimately intend to replicate CenterPoint’s Chicago ownership in California, and this transaction gives us a substantial push toward that goal by significantly increasing our allocation to the market,” remarked Jim Linn, senior vice president, investments of CenterPoint Properties.
