Logistics-first site selection that maximizes throughput and reduces total landed cost across Greater Los Angeles and the Inland Empire.
Global Logistics Advantage:
Simply put, we are more than a brokerage firm—we are your logistics partner. Our commitment is to building long-term relationships that bring you continued business success.
Your logistical objectives are our prime concern. In pursuit of efficiencies, we analyze the needs of your operations, assess available options, and deliver the best set of facilities across multiple markets in Greater Los Angeles.
Our comprehensive assessment process ensures we meet your budget while decreasing fixed leasing/ownership costs. Our expert team provides the solutions you need to be successful—across industries and use cases.
Designations & Approach
Advisors at Encon Commercial hold the GLS (Global Logistics Specialist) and the California Economic Specialist I & II designations. We incorporate transportation and logistics knowledge into every project. As the LA logistics community advances toward integrated supply-cycle operations, a deeper understanding of port activity, local regulations, market trends, and their impact on warehousing is critical.
Safety, Surroundings, and Available Labor Market
We evaluate each location through three lenses: safety, surroundings, and the available labor market. On safety, we review crime heat maps, lighting, access control, fencing, truck queuing (off-street), and compliant egress to drayage-safe routes. For surroundings, we analyze zoning adjacencies, proximity to sensitive uses (schools, hospitals, residential), air-quality and noise overlays (AQMD), flood/fire zones, and neighborhood compatibility to reduce entitlement and operations risk. On labor, we model 30–45 minute commute sheds for hourly and skilled classifications, shift coverage (1st/2nd/3rd), union/non-union availability, transit access, and parking ratios. We incorporate Cal/OSHA and EHS considerations, turning radii and yard depth for tractor–trailers, and gate/queue design—so your facility opens safely, staffs reliably, and runs efficiently from day one.
It’s in your best interest to understand how freight flows, where it is at any given time, possible choke points and problem areas, and the ultimate warehousing of products. Knowing how these factors impact your warehouse throughput is key to your operation—and to your logistics providers and buyers. Choosing the best possible logistics facility also helps your vendors in the supply chain, which adds to your success.
We bring this lens to every engagement. From site selection to lease negotiation and operations readiness, our team aligns real estate decisions with supply-chain realities to protect service levels, reduce dwell time, and improve total landed cost.
