Antelope Valley Commerce Center (AVCC) has officially received entitlement approval for one of the largest industrial entitlements ever done in Los Angeles County. The entitlement covers AVCC East, which allows for just over eight million square feet of industrial development. Combined with the previously planned AVCC West (approximately 1.4 million square feet), this creates the full master-planned AVCC project — marketed together as AVCC East & AVCC West — for a combined total of up to 9.4 million square feet, spanning approximately 510 acres and exceeding $1.2 billion in cost.
AVCC represents the “next ring” on the regional industrial pricing map, providing cost relief for companies facing record-high sale and lease rates across Greater Los Angeles. A signature feature of the development is the potential for a single building spanning up to two million square feet. The project’s broad building size range accommodates small, mid-sized and large users, creating opportunities for a diverse tenant mix — from emerging regional operators to major national and international companies.
Planned specifications include up to 42-foot clear heights, ESFR fire sprinkler systems, expansive truck courts and abundant trailer parking, dock-high and grade-level loading and build-to-suit office configurations.
The area’s emergence as a premier logistics hub accelerates with adjacent developments. The City of Palmdale is advancing a major one-million-square-foot (approximate) Trader Joe’s facility near AVCC.
The development of the AVCC project is led by Covington Group Inc., a privately owned, fully integrated real estate investment and development company specializing in value-add light industrial, warehouse and bulk-distribution investments across the United States.
