ARCO COMPLETES FACILITY FOR WEST COAST COLD STORAGE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

_______________

ARCO’s Pacific Coast team recently completed a 127,000 SF cold storage facility for West Coast Cold Storage! Strategically located in Jurupa Valley, just 50 miles east of Los Angeles in Riverside County within the Inland Empire logistics hub, the state-of-the-art facility offers customers flexible storage solutions and easy access to all of Southern California.

The facility features more than 100,000 SF of freezer and cooler space capable of accommodating a range of temperature requirements for increased marketability to a variety of users. With a clear height of 38’, the warehouse space allows for more than 18,000 pallet positions and 19 refrigerated loading positions.

Despite having the largest population in the U.S., Southern California has the second lowest cold storage cubic feet per capita. The need for cold storage space is higher than ever due to the recent explosion of e-commerce adoption and the rise of online grocery demand during the pandemic. Coupled with the age of most cold storage facilities in the market and lack of available supply, the demand for new construction is stronger than ever, demonstrated by a current cold storage occupancy rate of more than 96%.
