Strategic Operating Environment
TIC provides access to the qualified workforce of the Bakersfield area, a 24-hour operating environment critical to warehouse operators, Foreign Trade Zone designation, efficient access to all the transit corridors of the 11 Western States, and has ample room for future expansion and customization.
“Tejon Ranch is committed to creating a best-of-class operating environment for California's business community and bringing quality employment opportunities to Kern County,” said Barry Hibbard, Vice President of Industrial and Commercial Development for Tejon Ranch. “We are extremely proud to welcome Famous Footwear to Tejon Industrial Complex. Their selection of our master-planned business park validates the strategic merits of this logistics hub and its leading role in California's economic future.”
Clayco Inc., a corporate real estate design-build & construction firm headquartered in St. Louis, acquired the 23.75-acre lot in TIC upon which the Famous Footwear DC was built and leases the building to Brown Shoe. Clayco selected the TIC location to fulfill Famous Footwear's distribution center requirements after a thorough review of potential sites in California and surrounding states.
“We at Clayco are proud to be a part of bringing this project from concept to reality. This truly is at the top of the class in fulfillment and distribution facilities in the country, and reflects the strong commitment of Brown Shoe Company to remain on the cutting edge of providing the best for its customers,”said Clayco Principal Tom Schroyer.
Brown Shoe celebrates the official opening of the Famous Footwear DC with a celebration at the facility, including representatives from Brown Shoe and Famous Footwear, Tejon Ranch, Fortna and Clayco, as well as Kern County officials and key Famous Footwear vendor partners.
