TEJON RANCH, Calif., Nov. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The partnership of Tejon Ranch Co. (NYSE: TRC) and Majestic Realty Co. today announced it has completed construction and secured a full-building lease of its 629,274-square-foot industrial distribution facility to an undisclosed major retailer at the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center (TRCC). This latest transaction follows a series of recent deals at TRCC involving four building sites, comprised of more than 2.5 million square feet of industrial development, that is currently under construction or planned for construction in 2023.

“We’re proud to complete this impressive building and welcome our tenant to the fourth industrial building we’ve developed in partnership with Tejon Ranch Co.,” said Brett Tremaine, executive vice president at Majestic Realty Co. “Based on our history of success with our partners at Tejon Ranch Co. and the continued strength of the market, we see more opportunity on the horizon, as we believe TRCC’s strategic location and outstanding labor pool will prove to be advantageous for many more companies in the near future. We’re eager to begin work on our next partnership building on land immediately north of this site that will be under development soon.”
