LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Rexford Industrial has acquired an 81,282 square-foot distribution warehouse located at 15041 Calvert Street, Van Nuys, in Southern California's San Fernando Valley. The property was purchased for $5,620,000 ($69.14 per square foot).

The property's ideal location and low cost basis makes it a great addition to our portfolio," said Howard Schwimmer, co-founder and senior managing partner of Rexford Industrial.
