LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2023 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it arranged the forward sale of Runway Distribution Center, a newly built distribution facility totalling 199,997 square feet in Otay Mesa, California.
JLL represented the seller, Lincoln Property Company and a real estate fund advised by Crow Holdings Capital, and procured the buyer, an Ares Management real estate fund.
Runway Distribution Center is situated on a 11.91-acre parcel and consists of two newly built, Class A, institutional-quality distribution facilities. Key features of the buildings include 32’ & 36’ clear heights, 53 dock-high doors, six grade-level doors and 16 trailer parking stalls, which makes this the most functional industrial project to be built in San Diego in recent years.
The distribution center is located in the U.S./Mexico border-adjacent submarket of Otay Mesa, which has experienced tremendous growth over the last several years due to its improved infrastructure, abundant labor supply on both sides of the border and increased nearshoring demand. The property is less than one mile from the U.S./Mexico Port of Entry and just 22 miles from the San Diego International Airport. The nearby Otay Mesa Land Port of Entry is the largest commercial land port of entry, with over $46 billion in annual trade, and offers pedestrian crossing into the Tijuana International Airport via Cross Border Xpress.
The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team was led by Senior Director Ryan Spradling, Senior Managing Director Mark Detmer, Managing Director Ryan Sitov and Associate Makenna Peter, and the Markets team was led by Andy Irwin and Greg Lewis.
