LOS ANGELES – Transwestern Real Estate Services announces that it brokered a 49,545-square-foot lease for Vivion Inc. at 15500 S. Main St., Building B in Gardena, California. The location will be used as Vivion’s regional distribution hub.
Vivion, a subsidiary of Operio Group, is an ingredients distributor that specializes in products for application in the solid dose, pharmaceutical, nutritional, food and beverage, cosmetics, personal care, agricultural and industrial markets. Grant Huff, Transwestern Vice President, represented Vivion in the transaction.
“Operio Group is excited to continue expanding our pharmaceutical and food-grade ingredients business,” said Alastair Sanderson, CEO, Operio Group. “Our new, larger distribution facility provides us greater capacity to more effectively serve our customers and more efficiently distribute our products throughout the region.”
Vivion’s Gardena distribution hub is 30,000 square feet larger than its current facility at 3000 E. 46th St., in Vernon, California. Vivion expects to occupy its new space beginning in June 2023.
“The availability of high-quality industrial distribution space remains low in the Greater Los Angeles market,” Huff said. “We are pleased to have found Vivion and Operio Group a facility that supports their growth and allows them to continue to support their customers.”
According to research from Transwestern, as of the close of the first quarter of 2023, the Gardena industrial market had 27.9 million square feet of inventory with 3.7% vacancy, and the Greater Los Angeles County industrial market had 855.2 million square feet of inventory with 3.5% vacancy.
