The 165,171-square-foot Class-A building at 12821 Knott St was leased to a commercial electric vehicle platform provider for seven years; the 122,514-square foot building at 14100 Vine Pl was leased to an existing tenant for five years; while the newly redeveloped 86,879 square foot Class A warehouse/distribution building at 15601 Avalon Blvd was leased to a leading global bakery and sweet goods ingredient company on a 15 year term agreement .
Co CEOs Howard Schwimmer & Michael Frankel noted that their value add leasing & repositioning strategies have favorably positioned Rexford Industrial’s portfolio relative to market conditions given that over one billion square feet of industrial stock built prior 1980 is currently available with lower quality & functionality product offerings .
