CHINO, CA—Signifying increased demand for new warehousing and distribution space in Southern California, the 2.1 million-square-foot Empire Gateway project in Chino has been fully leased shortly after being completed, Colliers International says.

Solo Cup Company, one of the world's leading manufacturers and distributors of paper and plastic single-use consumer products, has leased the project's only remaining vacant space—a 522,000-square-foot state-of-the-art building where it will warehouse and distribute its products. Solo signed a five-year lease term with a total consideration of $14.5 million.

A team from Collier's Ontario office comprised of senior executive vice presidents Tom Taylor and Steven Bellitti, plus vice president Josh Hayes and associate Summer Coulter, acted as the development's exclusive leasing agents. Newmark Grubb Knight Frank brokers Rob Hughes, Mark Kegans and Ron Washle represented Solo in this latest transaction.
