L’Oréal USA to relocate professional salon distribution operation to
TRCC, the logistics hub located at the gateway to Kern
County--California’s fast-growing distribution region
TEJON RANCH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 16, 2018--
Tejon Ranch Co. (NYSE: TRC) today announced that it has agreed to terms
on a lease with L’Oréal USA, the largest subsidiary of L’Oréal, the
world’s leading beauty company, that will bring SalonCentric, L’Oréal
USA’s professional salon distribution operation, to the Tejon Ranch
Commerce Center (TRCC). SalonCentric will occupy the remaining 240,000
square feet of space in a 480,000-square foot building TRC developed in
partnership with Majestic Realty Co.
As part of the move, SalonCentric will relocate its Valencia,
California, distribution center to Tejon. SalonCentric, headquartered in
St. Petersburg, Florida, and operating in 48 states, is the premier
distributor of salon professional products.
“SalonCentric’s decision to move its Valencia operations to TRCC, which
is located just 40 minutes north of its current facility, underscores
Tejon Ranch’s value as a proven and opportune place for companies
wanting to locate and/or expand in California,” said Joseph N. Rentfro,
executive vice president of real estate at Tejon Ranch Co. “It’s also
further evidence of Kern County’s emergence as a major distribution
region with the ability to serve California and the western U.S.”
“We believe Tejon Ranch is the ideal location from which we can serve
our professional salon customers throughout the west,” said Bertrand
Fontaine, president of SalonCentric. “Its central location directly on
Interstate 5 provides great access, and given the size of TRCC, we have
room to expand operations to further realize our vision of modernizing
the professional beauty industry.”
“Majestic Realty is proud to welcome L’Oréal USA as the second tenant of
our building developed in partnership with Tejon Ranch Co.,” said Brett
Tremaine, senior vice president at Majestic Realty Co. “This is just the
tip of the iceberg, as we believe many more companies currently located
in the Los Angeles basin, like SalonCentric, will want to avail
themselves of the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center’s strategic location and
outstanding labor pool.”
Earlier this year, Dollar General (NYSE: DG) leased the initial 240,000
square feet of space within the partnership’s building as it increased
its footprint at TRCC by nearly 40 percent.
“It makes perfect sense for L’Oréal USA to move its professional salon
distribution operation within California to Tejon Ranch,” says John
DeGrinis, SIOR, senior executive vice president of Colliers
International, who represents TRCC. “It’s all about access. Tejon’s
central location with direct access to Interstate 5, allowing
SalonCentric to distribute to its operations throughout the west; the
ability to offer their current employees – and any future employees – a
great, easily accessible location to work; access to a wide variety of
adjacent amenities for employees and professional drivers alike; and
access to total operating costs that are among the lowest in the state,
all add up to some pretty compelling reasons why TRCC represented a
great opportunity for L’Oréal USA,” he explained.
“More and more companies are taking notice of what’s happening in Kern
County, and at Tejon Ranch specifically,” said Craig Peters, executive
vice president of CBRE, who represented SalonCentric in the transaction.
“As available space is at a premium in Northern Los Angeles County—and
commanding premium prices—Tejon Ranch represents an attractive
alternative for companies needing additional space and seeking value for
their businesses.”
L’Oréal USA is also applying for economic incentives administered
through the County of Kern’s “Advance Kern” policy, which provides
eligible companies the opportunity to seek reimbursement for a portion
of the property and sales taxes they generate. The policy is only
applicable to unincorporated areas of Kern County, like the Tejon Ranch
Commerce Center.
The Tejon Ranch Commerce Center is Tejon Ranch Co.’s 1,450-acre master
planned commercial/industrial development located at the junction of
Interstate 5 and Highway 99 in Kern County, about an hour north of the
Los Angeles basin. It’s entitled for more than 20 million square feet of
commercial and industrial space, with about 15 million square feet still
available. In addition to the previously mentioned Dollar General, the
Commerce Center is also home to major distribution centers for IKEA,
Famous Footwear and Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT).
