NTARIO, CALIF., June 27, 2011 — Jones Lang LaSalle represented Dal-Tile in a lease renewal for 410,515 square feet of industrial space at 3625 Jurupa St. in Ontario, Calif. The space serves as a regional distribution warehouse for the firm.
Jones Lang LaSalle’s team of Executive Vice President Sam Foster, Managing Director Mike McCrary and Associate Chris Brandt represented Dal-Tile in the transaction. The property owner, Sares-Regis, represented itself.
“The Inland Empire is one of the country’s highest performing industrial markets, accounting for nearly 30 percent of the total net absorption in 2010,” said Foster. “Despite strong fundamentals, Jones Lang LaSalle was able to negotiate favorable terms enabling Dal-Tile to reduce its rent and extend its lease term.”
