$27.5M in construction financing secured for a speculative 408K SF industrial property in Hesperia, CA

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 20, 2025 –  JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged $27.5 million in construction financing for Mesa Linda Logistics Center, a 408,997-square-foot industrial warehouse and distribution facility to be built in Hesperia, California.

JLL worked on behalf of the sponsor, Newcastle Partners, to secure the floating-rate, non-recourse construction loan through a bank.

Scheduled to deliver in Q1 2026, the Class A facility will feature 36-foot clear heights, 54 dock-high doors, 57 trailer parking stalls, 215 auto parking spaces, an ESFR sprinkler system and a combined 12,000 square feet of office and mezzanine space.

The 17.54-acre site is strategically located in Hesperia, considered the gateway to the Inland Empire North and a burgeoning logistics hub. The property has easy access to major freeways including I-15, I-40, US-395, CA-18 and CA-138, placing it within a four-hour drive of 27.3 million people. It is also strategically located near key transportation hubs: 90 miles from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach (the largest port complex in the nation), 13 miles from Southern California Logistics Airport, 35 miles from Ontario International Airport and 91 miles from Los Angeles International Airport.

The JLL Capital Markets team was led by Senior Managing Director Greg Brown, Director Samuel Godfrey and Associate Allie Black.

"Mesa Linda Logistics Center's strategic positioning will allow it to serve as a critical regional distribution facility, capitalizing on the booming e-commerce industry and addressing the growing need for rapid, efficient logistics solutions in Southern California," said Brown. "The attractive financing terms we've secured for this development reflect the strength of the sponsor, the quality of the asset and the overall health of the Inland Empire industrial market."
