A window manufacturer in southern California buys a former call center to set up store and bring fairfield work.
A southern California manufacturer of vinyl -covered aluminum frame windows and glass doors aimed at home builders are planning to open a mounting factory in the solean district.
A collaborator managed by Daniel Schwartz, CEO of Father Windows Inc., bought a 103,128 square meter call center in the technical technical complex of the Green Valley with two buildings in the Cordelia area of Fairfield on December 4, for 11.5 million dollars, for $ 11.5 million, according to public data and real estate agents involved.
Father Windows has been described as a rowing -based right -wing window company venture, a family -owned and functioned operation that is said to have started over four decades ago and has location in Las Vegas and Phoenix, according to its site Internet. The company did not respond to numerous requests for comment.
An indication of what is planned for fairfield is a similar purchase in the central valley a quarter century ago. The Schwartz family bought a former 143,000-square-meter former alcohol distribution depot in Stockton in 1999 to set up a mounting factory for Windows Father, using several dozens in a “highly automated” line, according to the website of the website Glassonline trade news.
Stockton’s location is not listed between the father’s pages on its website. A former welder factor posted on the Board of Internet Jobs really to rest from the plant when it was closed in 2007.
Interestingly, another Schwartz family associate sold the Stockton building in July 2017 in an Emeryville -based Granit EMERYVILLE -based Granite Associate, according to public data. Another Granite Expo associate bought the other Green Valley Technical Plaza building in Fairfield in May 2023 for $ 7 million, data showed. Granite Expo opened the exhibition hall and the location of Fairfield production last year, the Democratic Press reported.
Green Valley Technical Plaza was built in 2001 as a telephone center for the California Compensation Security Fund, providing coverage for businesses for workers’ damage, according to Chris Neeb, a JLL real estate agent who was of included in the sale of the exhibition and the lease agreements. The buildings had been mostly free since.
The repurposing of the independent office building for new purposes was a standard summary of planning and changing zoning, but also required considerable creativity from the city’s permitting and economic development teams, according to Dave Zellers, director of the department.
“We admit that there are these buildings, and they are great opportunities – maybe not for their target use, but for something that will give it a new life,” Zellers said. “And this is a great example of this.”
Fairfield has seen other similar conversion efforts, such as an office building that was approved for mini-coating use, but ultimately remains as an office space after the owner has found an undiscovered tenant.
Zellers said he received cooperation between the Planning Commission, which initially rejected the resonation of property in industrial in 2023, the City Council and the public.
“We want to have those conversations with the development and the real estate investment community to say,” Are there ways to get into other things? “” Said Zellers. “We are a pro-staffing community. We want more density. We want to bring more people here.”
In the sale of 5253 business center, Peder Brooks, Tony BinSwanger and Matt CBre represented the buyer, Oulette DS LLC, and the seller, Eastbourne Investments Ltd.
