Birtcher Engages with Next Generation at Fontana Groundbreaking

Birtcher Development broke ground on Birtcher Logistics Center Fontana in partnership with Oltmans Construction and Tomorrow’s Talent, a program to bridge young adults to the workforce. Students from Southridge Tech Middle School attended the groundbreaking celebration at the project site and had the opportunity to hear from and interact with several professionals from both the public and private sectors. 

“Breaking ground on Birtcher Logistics Center Fontana is a great milestone for the company and we wanted to find a meaningful way to engage with the next generation and provide an opportunity for students to grow and learn through a hands-on experience with our project team and the city,” said Brooke Birtcher Gustafson, managing director of Birtcher Development.  

The 330,048-square-foot distribution facility is expected to be completed in early 2024. Listing brokers for Birtcher Logistics Center Fontana include Gerry Harvey and Craig McKenzie with Kidder Mathews.
