– 90,348 Square Foot Lease Brings Lease Percentage to 100% –

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. (the “Company” or “Rexford Industrial”) (NYSE:REXR), a real estate investment trust focused on owning and operating industrial properties located in Southern California infill markets, today announced the execution of a 90,348 square foot lease with PODS Enterprises, LLC, (“PODS”), a leader in the moving and storage industry, at 7900 Nelson Road, a best-in-class 202,905 square foot industrial building located within the San Fernando Valley submarket.

“The execution of this lease brings the property to full occupancy, demonstrating our ability to source and capitalize upon high-quality, value-add opportunities within our core infill markets,” said Howard Schwimmer and Michael Frankel, Co-Chief Executive Officers of the Company. ”We acquired this property vacant in late 2014 and completed our value-add strategy to demise and modernize the previously single-tenant building into a two-tenant facility with functional upgrades and aesthetic enhancements, enabling lease-up to high-quality, long-term tenants ahead of schedule and at above underwritten cash yields.”

The 7900 Nelson Road property features 28 to 30 foot clear heights and is conveniently situated between the 101 and I-405 freeways. The lease with PODS is for approximately eight years. Previously, in July, Rexford Industrial executed a ten year lease for 112,557 square feet with PureTek, a prominent producer of pharmaceutical, nutritional and personal care products. With these two leases, the property is now 100% leased.

Jeff Puffer with Delphi Business Properties, Inc. represented Rexford Industrial and Alex Beacham with Cushman & Wakefield represented PODS in the lease transaction.
