840,000-SF Going Up at Logistics Center

For Kellogg , a 750,000-sf regional center with 8,000 sf of office space and 30-ft ceilings is being developed on a 35-acre site. Completion of the concrete tilt-up structure is scheduled for April. For Prima Products, a 90,000-sf manufacturing and distribution building with 5,000-sf of office and 24-ft ceilings is being developed on nine acres. The total value of the two buildings is $20 million, according to Darin Lee, project manager for Oltmans Construction Co. of Whittier, CA, the general contractor for the projects.

The Tracy Logistics Center is Robert Patillo Properties' first venture into the Bay Area. Although these latest deals are build-to-suit projects, Robert Pattillo Properties specializes in providing speculative buildings for regional and national distribution centers. Already complete at Tracy Logistics Center is a 312,000-sf distribution building that was recently leased to Barbosa Cabinets.

In addition to the Tracy project, Robert Patillo Properties recently developed three buildings in Redlands, CA: a 589,637-sf distribution facility for Hershey Foods; a 425,000-sf distribution facility for Becton, Dickinson and Co., and; a 289,0000-sf distribution facility for Stater Brothers Markets. Oltmans Construction was general contractor for those buildings as well.
