Los Angeles –– CBRE announced two industrial leases in Fontana, Calif. and Garden City, Ga., totaling more than 553,000 sq. ft. to iDC Logistics, Inc.

The Fontana facility is owned by Chartwell Real Estate, while AEW Capital Management is the landlord at the Georgia property.
“We are excited to expand our presence in key port markets across the U.S.,” said iDC Logistics CEO Elton Chung. “These facilities will allow us to continue to deliver best-in-class logistics solutions tailored to our customers unique needs, as they ship to some of the largest retailers in the world.”
The Southern California property, located at 10840 Cherry Ave. in the Inland Empire West, measures 189,523 square feet and is new Class A construction, which iDC will fully occupy.
“With the Southern California industrial vacancy rate below 1 percent as well as customer and supply chain volatility, it was crucial for us to have a deep understanding of iDC’s changing needs and help align their business with the optimal real estate strategy,” said Vertun. “This in-depth knowledge helped us win iDC a very competitive facility.”
iDC will also fully occupy the Georgia property at 1516 Old Dean Forest Rd, which measures 364,250 sq. ft. It is adjacent to the Garden City Terminal at the port of Savannah, one of the United States’ fastest-growing container ports, projecting around eight million containers annually by 2027.
