Logistics Hub Signals Start of Goodman's US Push

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA—Ceremonial shovels are going into the ground Wednesday for the groundbreaking on locally based Goodman Birtcher‘s first development project, Goodman Logistics Center Rancho Cucamonga. The Inland Empire facility marks the start of a $1.5-billion push into major US markets for the Irvine, CA-based company, established in 2012 as the American arm of Australian industrial powerhouse Goodman Group.

Since Goodman and Birtcher joined forces two years ago, the venture has built up a land bank for future development, including the 74.9 acres on which the Rancho Cucamonga project will sit. Along with Southern California, Goodman Birtcher is also targeting key industrial markets in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
