Fashion Nova is bulking up its Los Angeles-area logistics game, locking in a full 132,888-square-foot industrial building on Hawkins Street in Santa Fe Springs. The deal pulls another big-box warehouse into the fast-fashion retailer’s network and shifts more fulfillment work into the Mid-Counties industrial corridor.
Deal details and ownership
According to CoStar, Fashion Nova has signed a lease for the 132,888-square-foot facility at 12301 Hawkins St. in Santa Fe Springs. The Clarion Partners-owned building is expected to lift the company’s warehouse capacity in the city by roughly one-third.
The building on Hawkins
The property sits inside Clarion’s Heritage Springs Business Park and is marketed as a move-in ready Class A industrial site. JLL highlights 30-foot clear heights, an ESFR sprinkler system, 18 dock-high doors and two grade-level loading positions, a package tailored to high-volume e-commerce distribution.
Why Santa Fe Springs matters to logistics
Santa Fe Springs anchors the Mid-Counties infill corridor that logistics tenants favor for freeway access, labor pools and relative proximity to the ports. Recent Q2 reporting shows new deliveries and construction clustering in submarkets like Santa Fe Springs even as vacancy starts to level off, a combination that keeps demand strong for ready-to-occupy last-mile space. A market brief from Klein Commercial Real Estate tracks those trends.
What this means for Fashion Nova
The lease lines up neatly with Fashion Nova’s fast-turn e-commerce strategy and its roots in Southern California. The Los Angeles Business Journal has long pointed to founder Richard Saghian’s reliance on local manufacturing and distribution, and recent job postings for “Fashion Nova Logistics” in Santa Fe Springs suggest the company is staffing up to support fulfillment. Glassdoor currently lists multiple warehouse roles in the city.
Brokers and the transaction
Marketing materials for the property identify JLL brokers Jon Reno, Mark Vanis and Trevor Gale as the listing team, while CoStar names Cushman & Wakefield’s Kylie Rawn and Michael Condon among the contacts tied to the deal. Clarion Partners remains the building’s owner, according to public listings and reported details.
Even as larger industrial markets have cooled this year, move-in ready infill space continues to pull in e-commerce users. The Hawkins Street lease is another reminder that when modern product hits core LA submarkets, institutional landlords and national retailers are still stepping up to sign.
