The full site also includes the 2,500-acre Southern California Logistics Airport and the 3,500-acre intermodal Southern California Rail Complex. Brian Parno, Stirling VP, tells GlobeSt.com his company invested $100 million to lengthen the airport runway and construct new airport support buildings. The airport is complete, and Stirling is in negotiations with rail companies for the rail complex.

Phase One of SCLC, currently underway, is a 350-acre chunk of the total center, designed to contain 6.5 million sf in "as many as two dozen buildings," according to Parno. He expects that phase to be completed in 2011.

Four buildings have reached completion. They include a 408,000-sf west coast distribution facility for Rubbermaid, two multi-tenant industrial buildings aggregating 224,000 sf, and a 444,740-sf warehouse facility. A 296,000-sf spec distribution facility is scheduled for completion this May and a one-million-sf industrial building is set to open this December.
