**Colton Commerce Center Progresses Toward Completion, Offers Opportunity Zone Tax Advantages**
Construction is advancing at Colton Commerce Center, a new Class A industrial park located at 2245 West Valley Blvd. in Colton, California. Walls have been tilted at the four-building development, which spans a total of 182,123 square feet with individual building sizes ranging from 40,000 to 50,000 square feet. The project, situated in a federally designated Opportunity Zone in the Inland Empire, is on track for completion in December 2025.
The buildings at Colton Commerce Center are available for sale or lease. Representing the ownership team, JLL’s Cody Clayton, Scott Coyle, and Jay Cuccia are leading the marketing efforts.
“Unlike standard industrial building acquisitions, which offer no capital gains deferral or exemption, ownership at Colton Commerce Center allows buyers to eliminate federal capital gains tax on appreciation if held for 10 years,” said Clayton. “This translates into millions in long-term savings.”
He also highlighted the strategic value of ownership at the property. “Purchasing one of the buildings at the property would allow owner-users to avoid exposure to future rent and building cost increases while securing space in one of the most sought-after industrial markets in the United States.”
With its combination of new construction, prime Inland Empire location, and significant tax advantages through Opportunity Zone incentives, Colton Commerce Center offers a compelling opportunity for both investors and owner-users.
