THE KLABIN COMPANY ARRANGES MAJOR LEASE WITH NORTHWEST GROUP AT FIRST HARLEY KNOX LOGISTICS CENTER IN PERRIS

Leader in branded home textiles secures 158,730-square-foot facility represented by Klabin’s Nick Buss, SIOR, and Edwin Rosales.

(OCTOBER 22, 2025 – TORRANCE, CALIF.) – The Klabin Company/CORFAC International today announced the successful lease of a 158,730-square-foot industrial facility at First Harley Knox Logistics Center, located at 4742 Redlands Avenue in Perris, California. The tenant, Northwest Group, LLC—the nation’s leading throw manufacturer—was represented by Klabin’s Nick Buss, SIOR, and Edwin Rosales in the transaction valued at almost $7.9 million.

The landlord, First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: FR), was represented by Kevin McKenna and Greg Merrill of Colliers.

The leased asset is a freestanding, high-image industrial building designed to support sophisticated manufacturing and distribution operations. The facility includes approximately 9,291 square feet of office space and features a 230-foot secured, all-concrete truck court, 25 dock-high doors with 12 mechanical levelers, and one grade-level door. Additional highlights include ESFR sprinklers, warehouse LED lighting, a 4,000-amp switchgear, and 125 auto parking spaces. Located at the intersection of Harley Knox Boulevard and Redlands Avenue, the building offers excellent visibility and convenient access to regional transportation routes.

“This is exactly the type of facility Northwest Group needs to support its continued growth and innovation in home textiles,” said Edwin Rosales of The Klabin Company. “The combination of heavy-duty infrastructure, high dock count, and ample staging area makes it a perfect fit. Perris provides direct access to Southern California’s logistics network while being part of a growing textile corridor—it offers both operational efficiency and regional advantage.”

Perris and the broader Inland Empire region continue to attract home textile and manufacturing companies due to its proximity to major ports, robust logistics infrastructure, and access to skilled labor.

“The area has seen steady growth in textile and soft goods firms capitalizing on the region’s connectivity and modern industrial product,” said Rosales. “This new facility provides Northwest Group an ideal combination of power, efficiency, and scalability, supporting the company’s continued expansion on the West Coast. For First Industrial, the transaction places a leading national manufacturer within one of its premier Inland Empire properties.”
