project proposes to construct a 1.45 million square foot warehouse/distribution center on 73 acres located at
the southwest corner of Indian Street and Nandina Avenue in the Moreno Valley Industrial Area. The
developer, First Industrial Properties, has received strong early interest from potential tenants.

First San Michele Logistics
First Industrial is constructing a 187,000 square foot logistics facility at San Michele Road and Perris
Boulevard. The structure is nearing completion and the tenant, Wiseway Transportation Services, has been
issued a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for storage purposes while construction is being
completed. Community Development, along with other departments, is working with the developer and
tenant to get the facility ready for use on a permanent basis as soon as possible.
