Industrial real estate firm completes business plan for new warehouse facility along vital Los Angeles
trade corridor with strategic sale to owner-user
WALNUT, Calif. – January 15, 2025 – Western and Central U.S. industrial real estate investor, developer and asset manager, CapRock Partners (“CapRock”), today announced its disposition of West Valley Logistics, a new LEED certified, 270,000-square-foot industrial warehouse in Walnut, Calif. The Class A distribution building is within the San Gabriel Valley, one of California’s strongest and most land-constrained industrial submarkets.
CapRock developed West Valley Logistics on a speculative basis after acquiring the 12.5-acre property in 2020. Upon completion in December 2024, CapRock sold the vacant building to a Southern California-based alternative fashion company that plans to use it as its corporate headquarters and business operations. CapRock will remain involved in customizing the interior of the building and will be assisting the buyer with the design and construction of tenant improvements. Terms of the sale are not disclosed.
“CapRock Partners is pleased with the successful completion and sale of West Valley Logistics to a quality owner-user,” said Taylor Arnett, Senior Vice President, Acquisitions at CapRock Partners. “In 2024, we observed a resurgence of the owner-user buyer profile in Southern California’s industrial real estate market as companies began acquiring premium facilities that support their business operations. The sale of West Valley Logistics exemplifies this trend, and the execution of our team’s vision in providing a vacant, best-in-class warehouse in the San Gabriel Valley that will now serve as the corporate headquarters for a dynamic enterprise in the greater Los Angeles area.”
West Valley Logistics is one of the newest buildings developed in this region and features a 40-foot clear height, secure dual access with drive-around capabilities, rear loading with 28 dock-high doors, 45 trailer parking stalls, 130 car spots, ample power and 10,000 square feet of two-story office space.
The asset is located at 4200 Valley Boulevard. It is positioned southwest of the I-10 and SR-57 interchange, facilitating smooth access to major Southern California logistics routes such as the 57, 60 and 71 freeways, as well as Ontario International Airport and the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
West Valley Logistics is within a vital transpacific trade corridor of Los Angeles. The San Gabriel Valley houses many import/export businesses specializing in food and beverage, furniture, electronics, footwear, and more. West Valley Logistics’ corporate neighbors include numerous leaders in logistics and distribution such as FedEx, HD Supply, NFI Industries, Ryder Logistics, and Williams Sonoma.
“West Valley Logistics exemplifies CapRock Partners’ entrepreneurial approach to identifying and executing strategic opportunities in one of the nation’s most competitive investment markets,” said Jon Pharris, Co-Founder and President of CapRock Partners. “We were able to use our significant in-house capabilities to redevelop a well-located older manufacturing location that had complex environmental challenges into a state-of-the-art distribution facility. We continue to see compelling opportunities to invest in Southern California and anticipate commencing construction on additional sites within the next year.”
Matt Moore, Wes Hunnicut, Michael Torres at Stream Realty represented CapRock Partners in the West Valley Logistics sale transaction. The buyer was represented by Mike Hartel and Nick Velasquez at Colliers.
Including its development pipeline, CapRock’s portfolio includes approximately 19 million square feet of Class A logistics facilities across the Western U.S. and Texas. CapRock continues to pursue additional opportunities for new development in targeted markets throughout the Western and Central U.S.
