BLT Completes Volkswagen Campus in Oxnard

Santa Monica-based BLT Enterprises completed the Oxnard Engineering Campus (OEC) in Oxnard for Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. The expanded and upgraded campus, comprised of more than 150,000 square feet and situated on nine acres, encompasses the Volkswagen Test Center California (TCC) and both the Audi Engineering and Volkswagen Quality teams, and houses the Volkswagen Design Center California (DCC), which relocated from Santa Monica.

BLT Enterprises’ Bernard Huberman says the facility, “exemplifies BLT’s ‘lifetime landlord’ strategy and mission to adjust to the needs of the companies that lease from us over the long term.”

BLT completed a built-to-suit facility for TCC in 2012. Subsequently, it offered Volkswagen the opportunity to repurpose a recently vacated, nearly 90,000-square-foot industrial and office property BLT owned adjacent to the TCC.

“Through communicating this vision to our tenant and completing strategic improvements to the facility, we were able to assist in delivering a customized, cutting-edge space to fit Volkswagen Group of America’s precise needs and reflect its unique culture,” says BLT’s Lisa Tamayo.
