The Southern California office of Duke Realty (NYSE: DRE), the leading U.S. domestic-focused industrial property REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), announces that it has signed a long-term lease with a major retailer for its new 201,207-square-foot warehouse in Lynwood.

This building gives our tenant the rare opportunity to move into modern, first-generation space in one of Southern California’s most desirable locations.”
