Commercial Scene : Ontario Commerce Park Final Phase Completed

Construction has been completed on the second and final phase of Ontario Commerce Park, a $20-million mixed-use complex adjacent to Ontario International Airport.

Four buildings with about 150,000 square feet of office, industrial and retail space were added in the second phase, which doubled the size of the project. Tenants in the complex include an office-equipment company, an artificial flower-manufacturing company, a manufacturer of metal fasteners, A. L. Williams Insurance Co. and engineers W. T. Billard Inc.

The park is situated in Southern California’s Foreign Trade Zone, which allows tenants in the development to store goods without paying an immediate tariff, an executive for builder Saunders Development Corp. said. Tenants who ship their goods outside the U.S. pay no duty at all, he said.
