JLL Tapped to Lease California Forever’s 40M-SF Manufacturing Park

JLL has been selected as leasing agent for California Forever’s Solano Foundry, a 2,100-acre, 40-million-square-foot advanced manufacturing park located an hour north of Silicon Valley. Designed to provide the necessary infrastructure to drive new industry and opportunity to Solano County, the Solano Foundry is the largest advanced manufacturing park in North America.      

The JLL team will be led by vice chairman Greg Matter with additional support from executive managing director Jason Ovadia, senior managing director Matt Bracco, regional leasing lead Sarah Mancuso and local intelligence and labor analytics Joel Woodmass. The news follows the launch of JLL’s Advanced Manufacturing Group.

“Advanced manufacturing is not just a trend—it’s the foundation of the new American economy,” said JLL’s CEO of Americas Markets, John Gates. “With our new Advanced Manufacturing Group and exclusive partnership with California Forever, we’re putting coordinated resources behind this transformational shift and bringing hardware production to Solano Foundry’s campus.”
