Tejon Ranch Co and Dedeaux Properties are preparing to break ground on a 510.4k sf, Class A industrial facility at the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center (“TRCC”) in the Kern County community of Lebec, approximately 75 miles north of Los Angeles.
Situated on a 24.57-acre site, the building is designed for single or multi-tenant use. Building features include 36-foot clear height, 100 dock-high doors, 185-foot cross-dock truck courts, an ESFR sprinkler system, as well as 4k sf of turnkey office space. Completion is slated for early 2027.
TRCC is strategically located in the Southern portion of California’s Central Coast, with immediate access to I-5, the West Coast’s principal north-south goods movement corridor, and an easy connection to both I-15 and I-40 east-west corridors via State Highway 58.
The 20 msf, master-planned development has emerged as a strategic alternative to an increasingly land-constrained Inland Empire, offering available acreage, direct freeway access, expedited building delivery, and a Foreign Trade Zone designation that allows tenants to defer, reduce, or eliminate customs duties on imported goods. A new residential community, Terra Vista at Tejon, opened in spring 2025, providing quality housing at this thriving employment center.
The current inventory of 7 msf of developed industrial space is fully occupied by such firms as IKEA, Nestlé USA, L’Oréal, Caterpillar, Dollar General, Camping World, and Famous Footwear, alongside Plant Prefab, a manufacturer of modular homes that signals TRCC’s growing appeal beyond traditional logistics. TRCC currently supports an employment base of 5,000 people.
“We believe in the future development potential of the measured build-out of the remaining 11 msf of industrial entitlements within Tejon Ranch Commerce Center,” said Dedeaux Properties Senior Director of Investments Rishi Thakkar. “The speed at which 100% of the existing space was leased or sold to high caliber tenants underscores TRCC’s strong market positioning and the viability of this evolving industrial hub."
This will be Dedeaux’s second industrial project within the TRCC. In 2024, Dedeaux, which specializes in the investment and development of logistics-oriented real estate in California, sold a 233k sf warehouse and distribution facility only months after completion to a national clothing and textile distributor, which was relocating its operations from the Inland Empire.
JLL’s Mike McCrary and Mac Hewett have been retained as exclusive leasing brokers. Fullmer Construction is serving as general contractor of the new development.
