Goodman markets 1.6M‑sf IE West campus

Logistics real estate is really a speed business. The building matters, but the route matters more — how fast trucks can hit freeways, airports, ports, and dense consumer neighborhoods. That is why Goodman’s Rancho Cucamonga launch is notable. On May 4, the company started leasing a 1.6 million-square-foot, two-building campus in Inland Empire West, with move-in targeted for Q3 2026. ### What exactly did Goodman put on the market? Goodman Logistics Center Rancho Cucamonga is a Class A campus totaling about 1.59 million square feet across two buildings. Goodman is pitching it as the largest contiguous logistics campus currently available in Inland Empire West, and that “contiguous” point is the whole story — a big user can take scale in one place instead of stitching together several smaller sites. ### Where is the advantage? The campus sits at 8688 Etiwanda Avenue and 12521 Arrow Route in Rancho Cucamonga. It is about one mile from Interstate 15, ties quickly into Interstate 10, sits roughly 60 miles from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and is about six-mile platform. ### Why do the building specs matter? Because large occupiers care less about “nice warehouse” and more about throughput. Goodman says the project has cross-dock design, 36-foot clear heights, and 185-foot truck courts. That combination means more cubic storage, easier transfers — they are operating features. ### Why Rancho Cucamonga instead of deeper inland? Inland Empire West still gives tenants better access to the Los Angeles consumer base than many farther-east alternatives. Goodman says the site can reach more than 18 million people across Greater Los Angeles, and its proximity when delivery windows matter. ### So is this landing into a hot market? Not exactly. The catch is timing. The Inland Empire industrial market has softened from its frenzy years. Colliers put Q1 2026 vacancy at 8.1%, with 53.6 million square feet vacant regionwide and rents still falling from the 2023 peak. CBRE also showed IE Core vacancy rising to 7.8% in Q1, driven by big move-outs, even as new leasing improved to 13.6 million square feet. ### Then why launch now? Because soft markets can still reward the best product. When tenants have leverage, they get picky. Older boxes without trailer storage, clear height, or freeway access lose first. A rare large-block campus in IE West can still stand out, especially for users that need one integrated operation in its entirety alone. ### Who is this really for? Think big e-commerce operators, retail brands, and national distributors — not the mid-size local user looking for 80,000 square feet near one customer cluster. The campus is being co-listed by KBC Advisors and Colliers, which tells you Goodman expects an institutional-style leasing process aimed at large occupiers with network-level decisions to make. ### Bottom line? This is a bet that, even in a looser Inland Empire market, prime logistics space still wins if it saves time. Goodman is not selling “warehouse.” It is selling reach.
