TEJON RANCH, CA.—Construction is moving forward on a 350,000-sf warehouse-distribution facility at the 1,450-acre Tejon Industrial Complex that will house Famous Footwear, a retail division of Brown Shoe Co. Located within a new 177-acre Foreign Trade Zone, the facility is expected to be operational in mid-2009.

Clayco Inc., a St. Louis-based design-build firm working with the retailer recently paid $2.5 million for a fully-entitled, 23.75-acre parcel at Tejon Ranch. The size of the parcel leaves room for future expansion, according to Tejon executives.

A recent 10-K regulatory filling by Brown Shoe states: “During the first quarter of 2008, operating lease commitments increased by $44 million primarily due to the signing of an operating lease for a new West Coast distribution center, which is expected to be operational in mid-2009, and retail and other equipment leases.”
