LOS ANGELES, CA – Trammell Crow Company (TCC) and Clarion Partners, LLC announce that Illumination Dynamics has inked a long-term, 67,639 square foot lease at Building 1 at The Center at Needham Ranch in Santa Clarita, CA.

Carly Barber, President of Illumination Dynamics, stated, “We are excited about moving our corporate offices and operations to Santa Clarita. Our new state-of-the art facility will allow us to continue to provide outstanding service to our customers with tremendous access throughout Southern California and beyond. The TCC and Clarion Team were great to work with and the City and SCVEDC were both critical in helping to make our vision a reality.”
Trammell Crow Company and Clarion are currently under construction with six buildings ranging from 67,639 to 212,236 square feet of Class A industrial space on a 52 net-acre Phase 1 site. “We are pleased to welcome our first company to The Center at Needham Ranch and look forward to celebrating their future success and growth,” said John Balestra, Principal with TCC’s SoCal – Los Angeles Business Unit. “While we are building a premier business campus, a unique feature is this project is situated in a beautiful park-like setting with access to hundreds of acres of open space. This amenity, combined with premier industrial space, is truly a win for all tenants.”
CBRE’s Craig Peters and Doug Sonderegger represented the development team in the transaction. CBRE’s Greg Geraci represented to tenant. “With the addition of Illumination Dynamics, The Center at Needham Ranch is proving the demand for attractive and highly functional buildings is strong,” said Peters. “We continue to see tremendous interest in this project from a wide range of companies including many in the entertainment industry.”
Holly Schroeder, President and CEO of the SCVEDC, commented, “We were so happy to assist Illumination Dynamics and help them understand the many benefits the area offers including a substantially lower cost of doing business. They are exactly the type of company we want to see move here and further proof the Santa Clarita Valley is an ideal location for the entertainment industry.”
