Hillwood Breaks Ground on AllianceCalifornia

SAN BERNARDINO, CA-A handful of politicians and local business leaders are gathering at the former site of the Norton Air Force Base today to break ground on the 2,000-acre AllianceCalifornia development. The groundbreaking will include a “topping-out” ceremony for the eagerly anticipated Kohl’s distribution center, which will be the first major industrial complex to rise on the site.

Today’s celebration marks the first major construction at the former base since 1994, when the parcel was turned over to the city of San Bernardino. The new construction will occur at the site of Kohl’s Corp.’s planned industrial complex at 890 E. Mill St. The department store giant acquired the 60-acre parcel last December from the project’s master developer, Dallas-based Hillwood Investments.
