Site Selection Built Around Your Operations:

Choosing the right facility is a multi-year decision with real cost, labor, and service implications. Encon Commercial’s advisors align real estate with throughput, labor access, transportation links, utilities, and growth—so your space supports how you actually operate. We evaluate options on specs and total cost of occupancy, then negotiate terms that protect flexibility and time-to-value.

What We Deliver

• Submarket intelligence: Rent and sale comps, concessions, absorption, and pipeline by micro-location.
• Operational fit: Clear height, loading (dock-high/grade), power, trailer parking, office ratio, and yard.
• Access & labor: Drive-time to customers, ports, carriers, and transit; labor density and wage trends.
• Financial clarity: TI budgets, rent steps, NNN/CAM, utilities, and critical dates modeled against workflow.
• Execution: Coordinated tours, competitive tension, clean LOIs, and tight contract management through close.

Where We Focus

Los Angeles County: South Bay (Carson, Torrance, Gardena), Ports/Long Beach corridor, Vernon, Commerce, City of Industry, San Gabriel Valley, Glendale/Pasadena, El Segundo, Westside. Uses include last-mile distribution, manufacturing, creative office, and urban retail.

Inland Empire: Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Rialto, Jurupa Valley, Moreno Valley, Perris, Corona. Concentrations in mid-bay (25k–150k SF) and bulk distribution (300k+ SF) near I-10, I-15, CA-60; industrial land where utilities, frontage, and entitlements align.

San Diego County: Sorrento Mesa, UTC, Del Mar Heights, Mission Valley (office/R&D); Kearny Mesa and Miramar (defense-adjacent industrial, light manufacturing); Carlsbad and Vista (North County industrial); coastal and urban retail corridors for experiential and service operators.

How We Evaluate Sites

• Logistics: Port and airport reach, carrier hubs, freeway adjacency, cross-dock options, yard depth.
• Building & land: Clear height, column spacing, slab load, power/amps, gas, water/sewer, trailer counts, outside storage.
• People & code: Labor availability, parking ratios, ADA, sprinklers, hazmat considerations, and overlay/TOC zones.
• Deal structure: Base/NNN, steps, abatement, renewal/termination rights, ROFR/ROFO, purchase options, and timing.

Engagement Process

1. Discovery: Requirements, workflow, labor and service radii, and timing.
2. Shortlist: On-/off-market canvass with financials and operational pros/cons.
3. Tours & bids: Coordinated inspections and owner dialogue to surface best terms.
4. Selection & negotiation: Targeted LOI/contract strategy; critical path to occupancy.

Office / R&D: 2,000–50,000 SF spec suites or build-to-suit in El Segundo, Westside, Pasadena/Glendale, Sorrento Mesa, UTC, Del Mar Heights.
Retail: High-visibility coastal and neighborhood nodes with strong daytime population and parking ratios.
