LONG BEACH, CA-The largest infill industrial lease in L.A. County in more than 25 years has been signed by Mercedes-Benz USA. The long-term deal brokered by CBRE will see the car company take over a million square feet of space.

Mercedes-Benz USA will take over the former Boeing 717 aircraft manufacturing facility at 4501 E.
