Eastvale – Under beautiful, blue skies on the cool morning of Tues., May 19, the Goodman Commerce Center Eastvale officially broke ground in the first constructions steps toward the City’s premier industrial complex.

On hand to participate in the ceremony were Eastvale’s Mayor, Ike Bootsma; City Manager, Michele Nissen; and executives from Goodman Birtcher – a subsidiary of development giant, Goodman Group, one of the most respected real estate investment companies in the Western United States.

Located adjacent to the I-15 Freeway between Cantu-Galleano Ranch Road and Bellegrave Avenue in Eastvale’s most northeast corner of the City, the Center will ultimately span 200 acres of retail, medical, business park and Class A logistics.

“It’s going to be a huge economical benefit to the City.  There will be employment opportunities during the construction process and after it is built.  This is the first official office space in Eastvale. Small and large business owners will be able to call Eastvale home,” said Nissen. “It’s also a plus that Hamner will be widened, which everyone will love.”

The $366 million project is the first of its kind in Eastvale, and the outstanding municipal demographics as well as the close proximity to highways, the Ontario airport and Long Beach/Los Angeles sea ports will make this a major commerce hub in the very near future.  The Center will bring substantial business to the area, $28 million in public improvements (including the significant upgrade to Hamner Avenue with six lanes of traffic), and – perhaps best of all – an expected 4,000+ employment opportunities.  Each day, over 155,000 cars will have visibility to the upcoming prominent freeway signage, expanding the capital potential even further.

Over two million square feet of industrial space will be available as soon as the second quarter of 2016, as Phase I of the Center nears completion.

Said Goodman Birtcher Chief Executive Officer, Brandon Birtcher, “We are very excited for what we have to offer to the Eastvale Community.”
