Zumiez Inc. has purchased West Corona Corporate Center located at 1346 Railroad Street in Corona, CA; the property comprises 168,450 square feet. The property will be used as a distribution facility to serve its
existing and planned retail stores throughout the U.S.
The new
state-of-the-art building is LEED-certified, an element of utmost
importance to Zumiez’s corporate culture. With headquarters in Seattle,
Zumiez will obtain significant operating benefits from having the
distribution center in Southern California.
Greg Gill and Barbara Goldsmith of Lee & Associates Long Beach office and Erik Hernandez and Paul Earnhart at Lee & Associates Ontario office represented Everett, Wash.-based Zumiez in the transaction. Cushman & Wakefield represented the seller, Railroad Street Land Holdings LLC.
According to Gill, the new location’s proximity to Zumiez’s existing 70 Southern California retail stores – in addition to the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles – allows for maximum operating efficiency.
“Driven by cost-saving impacts of a smaller-leased facility, the decision to purchase became compelling when the quality and location of the facility made it an ideal long-term solution for the company’s current needs and proposed growth over the next decade,” said Gill.
