Banning Commerce Center

The Banning Commerce Center project involves the development of a speculative industrial building totaling approximately 1,320,284 square feet, comprising 1,312,284 square feet of warehousing and 39,600 square feet of office space. Located on 131.28 acres in Banning, California, the project has received key entitlements, including a Design Review, a Tentative Parcel Map, and a Development Agreement. The City of Banning serves as the lead agency, overseeing the project's compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act through a Final Environmental Impact Report and a dedicated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The scope of work emphasizes sustainable construction and strict environmental mitigation. Key requirements include the use of Tier 4-compliant or cleaner construction equipment, the installation of EV charging infrastructure, and the mandate that all on-site service and landscaping equipment be zero-emission. The project also requires compliance with LEED or CALGreen Tier 2 standards and a minimum 75% diversion of construction waste from landfills. Construction is phased from March 2024 through September 1, 2025, with specific operational mandates such as two-minute truck idling limits and the installation of vegetative barriers to protect adjacent residential areas.
