ODW Logistics, Inc. Leases Space in ALLIANCECALIFORNIA Development

(Columbus, Ohio) Hillwood has leased 339,980 square feet in Westgate Building One in its AllianceCalifornia development in San Bernardino, California to ODW Logistics, Inc., a Columbus, Ohio-based provider of logistics and transporation services.

Since December 2000, when Hillwood was selected as the master developer of the development, AllianceCalifornia has attracted major facilities for many global industry leaders. In addition to ODW Logistics, the development now houses major facilities for Kohls, Mattel, Stater Bros., Pactiv, Medline, and Pep Boys. Over the past seven years, more than 7.8 million square feet have either been built or are under construction and close to 3,000 new jobs have been created at AllianceCalifornia.

As well as being complimentary to our facility in Chino, California, this new location now positions ODW in the Inland Empire region of Southern California to service port-focused markets on the western edge of the Inland Empire, said John Ness, president of ODW Logistics, Inc. In addition, it also positions us to service Eastern Inland Empire markets seeking a closer proximity to eastern shipping points at lower real estate operating costs.

The 1,140,200 square-foot Westgate Building One was completed in two phases. ODW will occupy most of the 540,480 square-foot speculative expansion that was completed in 2006. AllianceCalifornia features outstanding access to air, highway and rail; Foreign Trade Zone status; tax incentives; and is located in one of the top industrial markets in the nation. The project is close to Interstates 10, 210, and 215, is within two miles of a large intermodal rail facility and is anchored by San Bernardino International Airport.
