REDA and Clarion Partners LLC Complete 1.245-Million-Square-Foot Lease with Uline, Inc.

REDA and Clarion Partners LLC Complete 1.245-Million-Square-Foot Lease with Uline, Inc.
April 13, 2020, Ontario, CA – REDA, a Southern California-based opportunistic real estate investment and development firm, and Clarion Partners, LLC, have announced completion of a 1,245,000-square-foot lease with Uline, Inc. at Ontario Ranch Logistics Center located at 4815 South Hellman Ave. in Ontario. Uline, a family-owned business, is the leading distributor of shipping, industrial and packaging materials to businesses throughout North America.
The lease represents a consolidation of several Uline locations throughout the Inland Empire. Uline was represented by CBRE’s Dave Desper and Joey Sugar. Spec construction on the new building that will house Uline was initiated in January 2020. Vertical construction will commence in July with completion set for September 2021. REDA also plans to begin spec construction on a 115,000-square-foot building in the business park.
Uline is the second tenant announced for Ontario Ranch Logistics Center. In mid-2019, REDA signed Kimberly Clark to the entire 1,180,908 square feet of space in Building 1. Kimberly Clark is an American multinational personal care corporation that produces mostly paper-based consumer products. The corporation moved into the now-completed industrial building as of March 2020.
“The lease activity with such strong firms as Uline and Kimberly Clark further reinforces the dominance of the Inland Empire market, especially as it relates to e-commerce. We had significant interest in this building and overall see that level of interest continuing for buildings of this size,” said REDA Co-Founder and Principal Jason Krotts. “Even when considering the economic impact of COVID-19, economists have continued to assert that e-commerce will remain a strong real estate segment. Moreover there is already discussion of a growing interest in reshoring manufacturing operations to the U.S. which would also benefit industrial development in this market.”
Ontario Ranch Logistics Center is a 124-acre multi-phase industrial development. The first phase of the project, including Building 1, broke ground in January 2019. The second phase includes Building 2, now home to Uline. Upon completion the entire logistics campus will encompass 2.6 million square feet of state-of- the-art industrial space in six buildings. The next phase of speculative development of the Ontario Ranch Business Park, a 115,000-square-foot building, is slated for early 2021. Ontario Ranch Business Park features state-of-the-art buildings that include ESFR sprinkler systems, 32’–40’ minimum clear heights, LED warehouse lighting and concrete truck courts greater than 180 feet in a cross-dock configuration, perfect for e-commerce of high velocity distribution. Ontario Ranch Logistics Center is a development by REDA and Clarion Partners, LLC. All told, the partnership is in planning stages of futures phases of development in the immediate area totaling in excess of 6 million square feet.
“We are pleased that Uline has chosen to invest even further in the City of Ontario,” said Ontario Mayor Paul Leon. Leon added, ”The consolidation of Uline’s various locations to Ontario speaks to the strong partnership between their company and the City—something we are very proud of at City Hall.”
To underscore current market dynamics, CBRE recently reported that the impact of COVID-19 is likely to accelerate the expansion of e-commerce activity as consumers reconsider visiting retail stores given social distancing guidelines. The report further notes that while it is too early to see the impact in local real estate markets increased demand for online retailers is likely to drive further absorption throughout the GLA/OC/IE region. Already, many prominent e-commerce companies are operating at a greater capacity than peak holiday season. Several major e-tailers have announced plans to expand their workforce, and the most prominent e-commerce brand is looking to hire an additional 100,000 workers nationwide.

Tyler Ankrum World Wide Technology Raceway Race Preview

Headed West … Tyler Ankrum rolls into the “Gateway to the West” as the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series invades the St. Louis area at World Wide Technology Raceway (WWTR). As five races remain before the playoffs begin, Saturday afternoon’s contest at WWTR marks a pivotal moment for the driver of the No. 16 LiUNA! Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. Ankrum currently resides 15th in the championship standings and hopes WWTR is the gateway to his third-career playoff berth.
HRE at WWTR … The San Bernardino, Calif. driver has four appearances under his belt at the St. Louis-area 1.25-mile egg-shaped oval. Ankrum made his debut at WWTR in 2019 and scored a best finish of 12th in 2020. The No. 16 team has had a steady track record in the St. Louis region since debuting there in 2017 with Ryan Truex. The HRE squad has put up one top-five, two top-10’s, and led laps in three of the five events, which included a third-place result in 2020.
Season to Date … Through 11 of 16 regular season events, Ankrum and the No. 16 team occupy the 15th position in the championship standings, 63 markers behind the cut line. Ankrum’s season-best result came eight races ago at Circuit of the Americas and he has posted three finishes of tenth or better in the 2023 season.
Chassis Selection … Chassis No. 008 will make it’s third start of the season at World Wide Technology Raceway. This Toyota Tundra TRD Pro made its last start at Darlington Raceway, where Ankrum would run around the top-10 most of the day, settling for a 15th place finish at the track too tough to tame.
Tune In … Fox Sports 1 has complete coverage of the Toyota 200 at World Wide Technology Raceway, beginning with practice and qualifying on Friday at 6:00 pm ET (FS1), followed by the green flag on Saturday at 1:30 pm ET (FS1). Stay connected with the No. 16 LiUNA! team by following @Hattori_Racing on Twitter, @hattoriracing on Instagram, and Hattori Racing Enterprises on Facebook.
Tyler Ankrum Quote on World Wide Technology Raceway:
“Gateway is such a unique racetrack from where we’ve been racing the last month or so. It’s like a big short track with flat corners, a lot of braking, and we’ll for sure need our LiUNA! Toyota Tundra TRD Pro to turn in the center of the corners. It races similar to Phoenix, but Turns one and two are really tight while (turns) three and four are kind of wide and sweeping. Pit road is extremely narrow and how you get in and out of your box could be critical. Hopefully we can start to regain some points as we get closer to the playoffs.”

June 15th Foster Care & Adoption Virtual Online Orientation

Children’s Bureau is seeking foster families and now offers two virtual ways for individuals and/or couples to learn how to help children in foster care while reunifying with birth families or how to provide legal permanency by adoption.
If you or someone you know may be interested in learning more about becoming a foster or foster-adopt parent, join us on June 15th from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. for an English online virtual orientation. To sign up, visit https://www.all4kids.org/foster-care-and-adoption-inquiry-form/ or call 661-289-4231 or 833-983-2837, or email Rfrecruitment@all4kids.org and a link to the meeting will be sent to you.
A Spanish Zoom Orientation is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on July 20th for those who prefer Spanish.
Children’s Bureau partners with over 200 foster-adoptive families annually to help at-risk youth by giving them a home that is nearby and inclusive to their foster siblings. Lisa and Michael began their foster-adoptive journey by providing a stable home to a sibling set of three, two girls and a boy. They worked to keep the family together and have experienced a bond like no other. “If adoption is in your future, there is no need to look any further than our surrounding county. So many local children need a family. If you are wanting to “make a difference” with your life, consider adopting from foster care. You could be saving generations,” said Lisa.
In the 1940’s, Children’s Bureau opened adoption services and found homes for refugee children orphans from World War II. The agency continues to meet the needs by offering a wide array of programs in areas related to adoption such as foster care, prevention, and mental health. Children’s Bureau has multiple locations operating throughout Southern California.
“Right now, children in San Bernardino County who have experienced trauma and have been separated from their birth family need our help,” says Leslie Oropeza, Children’s Bureau Director of Foster Care and Adoption. “We are looking for families who can open their homes and hearts to these children. Families who have extra space and the willingness to keep them together. Statistics show siblings kept together in foster care and adoption do better later in life.
They heal quicker from their trauma, have better attachments, and develop healthy self-images,” she adds.
Children’s Bureau welcomes all individuals regardless of race, age, religion, disability, marital status, ethnic background, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression to become a resource for children. Qualifying families receive training and support throughout their journey. Foster Care and Adoption Programs are available in Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Ventura counties.

City of San Bernardino Receives SCAG Sustainability Award for Its Clean Fleet Policy

The City of San Bernardino has received the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Sustainability Award for Alternative Fuels and Infrastructure for its Zero Emission First – Clean Fleet Policy. The City was recognized at SCAG’s regional conference, held in Palm Desert. Mayor Helen Tran and Council Member Damon Alexander were on hand to receive the award.
“We are pleased and honored to be recognized by SCAG for our Clean Fleet Policy,” said San Bernardino Council Member Damon Alexander, who also sits on the SCAG Regional Council. “It not only speaks to San Bernardino’s commitment to sustainability but is a roadmap to make a difference.”
The award was one of seven sustainability awards presented by SCAG recognizing excellence and innovation to improve mobility, livability, prosperity, and sustainability. SCAG is the nation’s largest metropolitan planning organization, encompassing six counties (Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura), 191 cities, and 19 million people in an area covering more than 38,000 square miles.
San Bernardino’s Clean Fleet Policy was unanimously adopted by the City Council on December 7, 2022. It serves as the City’s first initiative to reduce emissions from its daily operations. The policy establishes a framework for transitioning the City’s fleet from gas powered vehicles to zero to low-emission vehicles. The policy represents San Bernardino’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
The core objectives of San Bernardino’s Clean Fleet Policy include:
- Procure new and replace existing fleet vehicles with alternative fuel vehicles, with a focus on procuring all electric vehicles.
- Optimize the fleet size by eliminating unused or underused vehicles through review and evaluation of vehicle utilization and redundancy reports.
- Limit the procurement of gasoline and/or diesel-powered vehicles.
- Execute a plan to expand the network of charging stations city-wide.
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants through the elimination of fossil fuel combustion.
- Decrease costs associated with fleet vehicle operations, which can be reinvested into the community.
The Clean Fleet Policy is the first of a series of strategies and initiatives the San Bernardino intends to pursue to support the City’s efforts to achieve net zero emissions in its operations.
