BLP Acquires Large Warehouse in Southern California for Future Development

BLP has acquired a 1.1 million-square-foot warehouse located in Fontana, California. The facility, currently occupied by Cubework, is set to become vacant in the first quarter of 2026. The acquisition is part of BLP's strategic expansion within the Inland Empire, a leading logistics market in the United States.

Details of the Fontana Facility

The Fontana warehouse spans 1,101,900 square feet and features significant logistical amenities, including 220 dock-high doors, 185-foot truck courts, and 274 trailer stalls. These features make it well-suited for large-scale logistics operations. The facility also provides immediate access to the I-10 freeway, enhancing its connectivity to major transportation routes.

BLP plans to implement upgrades to the office space within the facility, though specific details of the renovations have yet to be disclosed. This strategic move aligns with BLP's vision of enhancing its real estate assets to better serve future tenants and logistics operations.

Inland Empire: A Logistics Hub

The Inland Empire is recognized as a premier logistics market, strategically positioned with direct access to Interstates 5, 10, and 15. Its proximity to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach further underscores its significance in the logistics sector. This region has become increasingly attractive to companies seeking efficient supply chain operations due to its infrastructure and location advantages.

BLP's acquisition of the Fontana warehouse is part of a broader strategy to strengthen its presence in this critical logistics hub. The company, founded in 2021, operates across five U.S. offices and is actively expanding its real estate holdings in key markets.

Expansion in the City of Industry

In addition to the Fontana acquisition, BLP has also acquired a 450,000-square-foot industrial portfolio in the City of Industry. This portfolio consists of two buildings located on San Jose Avenue. The first building, at 18305 San Jose Avenue, features a 27-foot clear height, while the second, located at 18501 San Jose Avenue, offers a 24-foot clear height. These properties are strategically positioned with direct access to major interstates, further enhancing BLP's logistical capabilities.

These acquisitions are part of BLP's focused expansion on City of Industry assets, aiming to capitalize on the area's logistical advantages and demand for industrial space.

Future Outlook

BLP's recent acquisitions in the Inland Empire and the City of Industry signify the company's commitment to expanding its footprint in key logistics markets. By investing in properties with significant logistical and infrastructural benefits, BLP is positioning itself to meet the growing demand for industrial and logistics space in Southern California.

As the Fontana warehouse approaches its expected vacancy in 2026, BLP's planned upgrades and strategic location are likely to attract interest from potential tenants seeking to optimize their supply chain operations. With its continued expansion efforts, BLP is set to play a significant role in shaping the logistics landscape in the region.
