McClellan, CA – The capitol region’s largest business, industrial and aviation facility, continues to attract an eclectic mix of tenants to the 3,000 acre former Air Force base.
The latest list of newcomers includes a transportation and logistics company, a public safety agency, a fire protection & fabrication supply company, and an electrical OEM and parts integrator. Altogether, the new tenants have leased about 85,000 square feet of space and will add about 170 employees to the growing workforce at McClellan Park.
“It’s particularly encouraging to see that the leasing activity has continued to be strong even while the economy otherwise has slowed.” Ken Giannotti, McClellan Park’s senior vice president of leasing, said some much bigger deals are in the pipeline. “We have had significant new interest from several large industrial prospects, and we expect to have success landing these prospects to McClellan due to the Park’s centralized location, convenient access, and LAMBRA enterprise zone incentives. It also helps that McClellan Park delivers space at lease rates that are amongst the lowest in the Sacramento region.”
New leases signed by McClellan Park include:
Action Fire Fab & Supply expanded their business from Tracy into 14,000 square of warehouse, celebrating 24 years in business and the home of its new fire sprinkler systems supply house. “It’s been our plan to expand toward the foothills and McClellan Park is an excellent location with close proximity to the major freeways,” said Amy Donahoo, Executive Vice President of Action Fire Fab & Supply.
Ozark Trucking, which took 40,000 square feet of warehouse and 2.75 acres of yard and truck laydown will relocate its facility and 125 employees to McClellan Park. “It’s a perfect fit for us. McClellan Park is completing a number of tenant improvements to customize the space for our use,” said Mike Ward, Chief Financial Officer at Ozark Trucking.
PCS Electrical Products, an electrical OEM and parts integrator, already has 24,000 square feet at McClellan, but will take another 9,900 square feet. “Even in this down economy, we’re one of the few companies that continue to expand and hire new employees because of the valuable product knowledge and industry support that we provide. This expansion will allow our business to double in the next 12-24 months and McClellan Park is the perfect place to grow,” said Craig Volpe, General Manager of PCS Electrical Products.
Cal EMA has signed for 19,500 square feet to house emergency supplies for rapid response to statewide emergencies. “We chose McClellan Park for the value and central location. We also have access to McClellan Airport, if we have the need to airlift supplies,” said Lee Dorey, Chief of Procurement & Logistical Services for the California Emergency Agency. “McClellan Park has number of government and state partners and Cal EMA recognizes the importance of being a part of that team.”
