Bay Cities Completes 150K SF Lease Expansion Amid Warehouse Shortage

Pico Rivera-based Bay Cities recently completed a 150,000-square-foot lease relocation and expansion at 9206 Santa Fe Springs Rd., a second-generation class-A industrial property in Santa Fe Springs, according to Savills. With the addition of this facility, the packaging and design company’s facilities now consist of more than 700,000 square feet of combined space, providing the ability to have 20 production lines.

The Santa Fe Springs’ facility has 29 loading positions, 12 assembly lines and offers heavy power (2400 amps) and around-the-clock security. Bart Pucci, a senior managing director at Savills, represented Bay Cities’ in the 10-year transaction with extension options. “This state-of-the-art facility for Bay Cities is ideally situated less than three miles from the company’s headquarters, making it extremely convenient and desirable for its employees and client base,” says Pucci. “After evaluating multiple properties in the area as well as several build-to-suit options, we worked quickly to secure the space as soon as it hit the market. Given the warehouse shortage and the e-commerce boom, this was a fast-moving transaction, and the competition was fierce. But at the end of the day, we successfully negotiated a creative solution that will provide the space and power Bay Cities needs as it furthers its expansion in Southern California.”
