Copart, Inc., an automobile salvage auction company, signed a long-term lease to occupy 70,000-sf of a 103,000-sf, three-story building in Fairfield's Green Valley Corporate Park in Fairfield. The building is currently being developed. The rental rate is $17 per sf. Quadrangle Development Company and Green Valley L.L.C own the 155-acre development, which will have more than two million sf when completed.
