RIVERSIDE, CA—Westcore Properties has jumped at what it calls a unique opportunity, purchasing a 260,000-square-foot ground and air industrial facility at the March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County.

Located at 17101 Heacock Street the property offers features direct access to the 13,000-foot March Air Runway for loading and unloading planes, an 11-ramp aircraft parking space, and a state-of-the-art truck terminal. The property is currently occupied by AMRO Fabricating Corporation and Ross Dress for Less. AMRO Fabricating occupies 100,000-square-feet of the property that connects to the runway, while Ross Dress for Less occupies the 160,000-square-foot truck terminal portion.

“This is a unique property for us to own and marks the first on-tarmac property we've purchased in the U.S.,” said Don Ankeny, president and CEO of Westcore Properties. “We were drawn to this property because of the direct ties it has with the March Air Reserve Base and the growing industrial market in the immediate area. Throughout the west coast, truck terminal properties with direct access to an airfield are virtually nonexistent. This gives us great potential for future tenants, and we plan to target aerospace, cargo, freight forwarders and defense contractors.”
