LA-based YS Industries has proposed building six new warehouse buildings at the southwest corner of Riggin and Shirk in the Visalia Industrial Park. In a filing with the city site-plan review process this week, the development company said the buildings would add up to over 1.5 million sq ft. Tenants for the buildings have not been identified.
The site was recently purchased by the company – about 78 acres. A little less than half the property was a dairy that will be relocated, the last farm property south of Riggin next to the city’s booming industrial area.
The size of the new buildings are 331,840, 188,020, 188,020,297,160,297,160 and 250,880sf. This would be the third project for the company in Visalia.
Spokesman for YS Industries Freddie Molina says he hopes to be under construction in January on about half the acreage – the east side of the property since the dairy to the west will remain for another year. The property needs to be annexed into the city.
Molina says another 356,000sf tilt-up building nearby on Clancy is nearing completion and should be ready for occupancy in December of this year. He expects to have a tenant in place by then suggesting demand is still good despite economic jitters across the country.
“We are looking at three proposals to lease the building,” he says.
Two twin buildings on Riggin are already filled.
