IRVINE, CA—The 40-million-square-foot World Logistics Center project in Moreno Valley is a step above what others are doing in the industrial sector, Orange County-based Cox Castle Nicholson‘s Ken Bley tells Globet.com. CCN represented developer Highland Fairview in the entitlement of the center, which will be the largest such facility in the US. The entitlements approved by Moreno Valley’s City Council included general plan amendments, rezonings, a specific plan and a development agreement, all based on a programmatic EIR. The center is projected to create more than 10,000 construction jobs and approximately 20,000 operational jobs once completed and will generate millions of dollars in benefits to Moreno Valley and its residents. It will also be the cleanest facility of its kind due to its requirement that it be served only by trucks that meet recently enacted clean-air regulations, which will not be generally imposed by the state for another decade.

We spoke exclusively with Bley about the project, why it’s unique and what it represents about the logistics sector.
