Fox Field Commerce Center, Building 2, at N 45th Street W, is a 637,327-square-foot warehouse and distribution opportunity on 38 acres in Lancaster, California. Now pre-leasing, this state-of-the-art facility is currently under construction and set to deliver in Q3 2025.
This newly constructed warehouse will deliver various industrial capabilities to fit a distribution tenant's needs. There are 76 fully equipped dock doors that are expandable up to 104 doors using knockouts and four drive-in doors, making easy loading and incoming deliveries. The property has 4,000 amps of power, which is expandable to 6,000 amps, to support heavy machinery and more. In addition, solar specs up to 500 kilowatts can be accommodated. With an above-average clear height of 40 feet, an ample storage of goods can be stacked tall. The property has up to 40,000 square feet of build-to-suit office space for administrative needs.
Strategically located in Lancaster, North Los Angeles County, facility users have convenient access to Highway 14, 138, and Interstate 5, which connect to the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles within 100 miles. This attractive distribution location is well positioned to serve not only the state’s largest county (9.7 million people) but all of Southern California, in addition to the greater Southwestern United States, via Interstate 5 and 15.
The Lancaster labor market offers a large, concentrated warehouse worker labor pool of nearly 65,000 people. The region exhibits better labor market conditions than the Inland Empire, given the reduced labor competition, lower income, and starting wages that are 4% less than the Inland Empire for Forklift Operators. Drayage rates in the North Los Angeles area are comparable to industrial markets in the Inland Empire East and Hesperia/Victorville, with Lancaster industrial rents at a fraction of the cost compared to the Inland Empire and infill Los Angeles County markets.
