LOCATED 90 MILES northeast
of Los Angeles, Victorville,
California’s three industrial
parks — and a proposed fourth
— have attracted nationally
and internationally recognized
companies to conduct
manufacturing, warehousing and
aerospace-related services. Three
of these parks are being master
planned and developed through a
public-private partnership between
the city of Victorville and Stirling
Capital Investments as Global
Access Victorville.
This 8,500-acre multimodal freight
transportation hub is supported
by extensive air, ground and
rail connections. It includes the
Southern California Logistics
Airport, a 2,500-acre cargo and
aviation facility; the Southern
California Logistics Centre, a
2,500-acre commercial and
industrial complex entitled for 60
million square feet of development;
and the planned Southern
California Rail Complex, which will

SCLA features two intercontinental
runways that offer the heaviest
aircraft direct, nonstop access to any
destination in the world. Both runways
are currently undergoing upgrades to
accommodate even larger aircraft and
increased traffic, in response to the
industrial growth at and around SCLA.
Runway 3/21 is a 9,138-foot crosswind
runway that was originally constructed
in the 1940s to accommodate
lightweight aircraft used for flight
training. The upgrade project now
underway will reconstruct Runway 3/21
with full-strength pavement, including
asphalt shoulders, designed to meet
Federal Aviation Administration
criteria. The renovation also includes
upgrades of the drainage, lighting and
ancillary utilities, as needed. The FAA
is funding 90 percent of the project;
SCLA is funding the remaining 10
percent. In addition, Victorville recently
approved an $800,000 contract to
begin the design of reconstruction on
the second runway, Runway 17/35,
which will help to rehabilitate the
asphalt portion of the runway.
In November 2014, Victorville
announced an expansion of its
electrical services and industrial
wastewater treatment at SCLA,
including a wholesale distribution
load interconnection facilities
agreement with Southern California
Edison Co. that will enable Victorville
to provide electricity to additional
large-scale commercial users and the
issuance of a pretreatment permit to
Leading Edge Aviation Services by
Victorville’s water district.
Victorville’s Foxborough Industrial Park already offers direct rail
access to Burlington Northern Santa Fe’s main line. When the
Southern California Rail Complex is built out, goods will be able
to travel from there to most of the Western U.S. by rail within 24
hours, via the BNSF and Union Pacific Lines.

Southern California Rail
Complex
The Southern California Rail Complex
(SCRC) is a planned 3,500-acre
intermodal and multimodal rail and
container storage complex that
will feature an additional 60 million
square feet of planned commercial
development. It will provide relief and
additional capacity to the region’s
congested intermodal rail facilities
and seaports. Master-planned rail
development will include a 430-acre
intermodal yard, a 585-acre rail-served
multimodal facility; 1,000 acres of railserved industrial sites; and the ability
to process more than 1.5 million lifts
annually. The SCRC will be developed
as a public/private partnership with
Stirling Capital Investments.
Victorville’s Foxborough Industrial Park already offers direct rail
access to Burlington Northern Santa Fe’s main line. When the
Southern California Rail Complex is built out, goods will be able

warehousing, distribution, assembly

Southern California
Logistics Center
Additional development also is taking
place at the Southern California
Logistics Centre (SCLC), which is
located immediately adjacent to SCLA.
SCLC offers a wide variety of new
warehouse and distribution facilities,
ranging from 2,000 square feet to over
1 million square feet. The 2,500acre industrial complex is entitled
for 60 million square feet of diverse
development. To date, roughly 3 million
square feet has been developed at
SCLC. As noted earlier, SCLC is a part
of the Global Access master plan and
the city’s public/private partnership with
Stirling Capital Investments.
Major tenants include United Furniture
Industries (UFI), Dr Pepper Snapple
Group, Newell Rubbermaid, Red Bull
and Mars Inc. SCLC features a rail
connection, international air cargo
facilities and hangars, corporate office
campuses, biomedical and technology
centers, aviation maintenance facilities,
an executive jet travel/business center
and recreational amenities.
What’s Next?
Foxborough Industrial Park
Located in the southeast part of the
city of Victorville, the Foxborough
Industrial Park has been developed
as a manufacturing and warehouse
logistics operations location. Since
2000, Foxborough has provided direct
rail access to Burlington Northern Santa
Fe’s (BNSF’s) main line via a publicly
owned rail spur. Foxborough currently
provides an estimated 2.3 million
square feet of industrial space on
roughly 200 acres. Its largest tenants
include the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Co., ConAgra Foods, Nutro Products
Inc. and Church & Dwight Co.
The next phase of Victorville’s
industrial growth plan involves
attracting build-to-suit tenants to
SCLA, SCLC, Foxborough Industrial
Park and the SCRC, to continue
the development of this growing
industrial and aerospace hub.
Victorville aims to serve as the High
Desert’s industrial hub of choice by
highlighting its pro-business climate
and continue the development of
its unique utilities offerings to bring
further investments to the city.

for the city of Victorville, California.

SCLA Project Summary
Southern California Rail
Complex
The Southern California Rail Complex
(SCRC) is a planned 3,500-acre
intermodal and multimodal rail and
container storage complex that
will feature an additional 60 million
square feet of planned commercial
development. It will provide relief and
additional capacity to the region’s
congested intermodal rail facilities
and seaports. Master-planned rail
development will include a 430-acre
intermodal yard, a 585-acre rail-served
multimodal facility; 1,000 acres of railserved industrial sites; and the ability
to process more than 1.5 million lifts
annually. The SCRC will be developed
as a public/private partnership with
Stirling Capital Investments.
What’s Next?
The next phase of Victorville’s
industrial growth plan involves
attracting build-to-suit tenants to
SCLA, SCLC, Foxborough Industrial
Park and the SCRC, to continue
the development of this growing
industrial and aerospace hub.
Victorville aims to serve as the High
Desert’s industrial hub of choice by
highlighting its pro-business climate
and continue the development of
its unique utilities offerings to bring
further investments to the city.
Keith Metzler is assistant city manager
for the city of Victorville, California.
