APPLE VALLEY, CA — ARCO, a national design-build firm, broke ground on a 1.2 million-square-foot logistics facility for repeat client Lecangs. This $96 million development marks Apple Valley's largest industrial project since 2018 and represents a significant expansion of Lecangs' third-party logistics operations on the West Coast.
The project, which continues the multi-year partnership between ARCO and Lecangs, features a 40-foot clear-height structure with over 200 dock doors engineered to optimize the flow of goods through Lecangs' expanding logistics network. The facility will incorporate solar technology with battery storage capabilities, creating opportunities for energy management optimization.
"This groundbreaking represents a significant milestone for Lecangs and the entire Apple Valley community," said Dan Croft, President of ARCO Jacksonville. "After recently completing successful projects for Lecangs on the East Coast, our team was able to leverage our national reach to provide the same level of expertise and execution in California. Our partnership with Lecangs for this project showcases the power of collaboration while maintaining focus on their operational goals."
"We're excited to see Lecangs expanding in Apple Valley," Mayor Scott Nassif said. "This project isn't just about a new building, it's about bringing good jobs, improving our infrastructure, and strengthening our local economy. Lecangs isn't just a new development, they're truly investing in our community with this project, helping to build a stronger foundation for future growth. Apple Valley is becoming a major player in the logistics industry, and investments like this show that businesses see the value in growing here."
The development includes extensive infrastructure improvements that will benefit the entire Apple Valley industrial region, including over a mile of water and sewer utility extensions and comprehensive road widenings.
