Shea Properties Signs Three Leases Totaling 750,000 Square Feet at Shea Center Ontario

Emser Tile renews for 400,000 SF, Aeolus Down takes 245,000 SF of new space and Caterpillar renews 105,000 SF

Aliso Viejo, CA, April 26, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Shea Properties announced the signing of three new leases totaling nearly 750,000 square feet at Shea Center Ontario, a five building, 1.65 million square foot distribution center situated along Interstate 10. Walt Chenoweth, Patrick Wood, Frank Geraci and Juan Gutierrez of Voit Real Estate Services’ Inland Empire office represented Shea Properties as the lessor in all three transactions.

The industrial center offers easy access to both the 10 and Interstate 15, and is just minutes from the Ontario Mills Mall and the Ontario International Airport.

“Our team worked closely with Shea Properties in order to renew leases for Emser Tile and Caterpillar Logistics Services, and complete a new lease with Aeolus Down before the previous tenant’s lease had expired,” said Chenoweth, Executive Vice President of Voit’s Inland Empire office.

“These successful transactions speak to the efforts of the Voit team as well as the quality of the product offered by Shea Properties. The location is ideal for all three tenants, offering great brand recognition due to the exceptionally high traffic count that passes the building on Interstate 10 each day.”
