INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY SHOWCASE – BUILD TO SUIT

The High Desert Titan

W Avenue L4 | Lancaster, CA 93535
217,700 SF | Proposed Industrial | For Sale

Executive Summary

A rare, fully entitled, big-box industrial opportunity is ready to rise in Lancaster.

This 217,700-square-foot distribution fortress offers 36’ minimum clear heights, 28 dock-high doors, and 38 trailer stalls — engineered for the next generation of logistics users. Delivered as a build-to-suit within 13–15 months of PSA execution, this site offers flexibility, speed-to-market, and scale that’s increasingly scarce across Southern California.

Situated in an Opportunity Zone, the project unlocks powerful tax incentives for exchange buyers and institutional investors. Even better: Lancaster sits outside the AQMD’s Indirect Source Rule, meaning occupiers avoid costly compliance hurdles.

Positioned on nearly 10 acres at Sierra Highway, The High Desert Titan is not just a warehouse — it’s a logistics launchpad for operators seeking Inland Empire specs at Antelope Valley pricing.

Industrial Market Report | Lancaster

Antelope Valley: The Inland Empire Alternative
With land and Class A big-box space scarce in the Inland Empire, Lancaster has emerged as a new frontier for industrial expansion — offering scale, entitlement speed, and tax-advantaged positioning.

Recent Corporate Moves:

• Amazon continues to grow its presence in Lancaster, reinforcing the corridor as a logistics anchor.
• Rexford Industrial has been quietly acquiring land across the Antelope Valley, betting long on the region’s role as SoCal’s next big logistics hub.
• Defense giants Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin have expanded industrial footprints nearby, driving demand for suppliers and distribution partners.

Market Snapshot:

• Vacancy: Tight for Class A large-format space (>200K SF)
• Lease Rates: ~$0.80–$1.20/SF NNN, significantly below IE averages of $1.40–$1.70
• Cap Rates: Mid-5% to mid-6% for new BTS or core industrial trades
• Land Costs: 40–50% lower than IE, yet delivering IE-caliber specs

Takeaway:
The High Desert Titan at W Avenue L4 embodies Lancaster’s market momentum — scale, entitlement, tax-advantaged investment, and cost relief, all while Southern California’s logistics pipeline tightens.
