OHL Leases 148,725 Square Foot Industrial Building from Watson Land Company

Watson Land Company completes 800,000 square feet in Q4 leasing as inbound container volume continues to grow.

2011-04-06

COSTA MESA, CA, April 05, 2011 (Press-News.org) Watson Land Company, one of Southern California's largest industrial real estate developers, has leased a 148,725 square foot industrial property to OHL.

Watson Land Company successfully completed more than 800,000 square feet in leases during the fourth quarter of 2010 as inbound container volume continued to increase, according to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The Port of Long Beach reported a 10.4 percent year-over-year increase in inbound loaded containers, while the Port of Los Angeles witnessed an increase of 5.6 percent during 2010.

This trend has led to a flurry of leasing activity within Watson Land Company's portfolio of South Bay properties according to the company's Vice President of Marketing and Leasing, Lance Ryan. "The rise in leasing activity in the South Bay is a direct result of global logistics firms increasing their capacity to remain in step with heavy port traffic and growing retail demand," he said.

This is OHL's second lease within Watson Corporate Center, expanding its presence to 326,125 square feet.

"The sustained growth of inbound container volume at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach has led us to expand our presence in the South Bay," said Bob Spieth, President, OHL Contract Logistics. "OHL is committed to making investments in growing markets like Southern California to meet customer needs. This increase in warehouse and distribution capacity enhances OHL's ability to provide global supply chain solutions to companies of all sizes."

The LEED Gold certified property is located on 7.81 acres of land at 2116 E. 220th Street in Carson, Calif. within the master planned Watson Corporate Center. The Center is located in the heart of the South Bay market in close proximity to major Los Angeles freeways, the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Long Beach Airport (LGB). It is part of Watson's Legacy Building Series.

The property features 32 dock high loading positions, a 185 foot truck turning radius, a 100 percent concrete truck court, a 32 foot ceiling clearance and abundant use of clerestory glass.

Doug McDowell with Pro Venture and Lewis Latimer with L2 Companies represented OHL. Watson Land Company was represented in-house by Lance Ryan and Mike Bodlovich.

How materialistic advertising messages negatively shape the female body image

2011-04-06

Sussex, UK—April 5, 2011— Psychological research has consistently shown that women feel unhappy with their body after looking at images of thin, idealized models, which are typically represented in the media. However, today's consumer culture and media promote not only the ideal of perfect beauty, but also that of the material affluent lifestyle, both of which are commonly depicted together, and highlight the benefits of beauty and of owning material goods to one's personal success and fame. A new study from the British Journal of Social Psychology is the first to examine ...

Device drops blood pressure in patients with difficult-to-treat hypertension

2011-04-06

A device designed to treat people with resistant hypertension helped lower blood pressure by 33 points, a substantial drop that would otherwise require patients to take an additional three or four drugs, on top of this subgroup's usual regimen of up to five drugs, to control their difficult-to-treat condition. The device, called the Rheos® System, was tested in a pivotal Phase III study presented today as a late-breaking clinical trial at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Sessions. It is the first device to be tested in a large-scale clinical trial ...

Nanopolymer shows promise for helping reduce cancer side effects

2011-04-06

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A Purdue University biochemist has demonstrated a process using nanotechnology to better assess whether cancer drugs hit their targets, which may help reduce drug side effects. W. Andy Tao, an associate professor of biochemistry analytical chemistry, developed a nanopolymer that can be coated with drugs, enter cells and then removed to determine which proteins in the cells the drug has entered. Since they're water-soluble, Tao believes the nanopolymers also may be a better delivery system for drugs that do not dissolve in water effectively. "Many ...

In addition, an important aspect of the famous thought experiment known as 'Schroedinger's cat' is probed. However, due to the particular ...

Non-traditional learning environments need clearer definitions, MU researchers say

2011-04-06

What is the difference between e-learning, online learning and distance learning? University of Missouri researchers have found that even educators can't agree on what different forms of learning environments entail and, without some common definitions, it is difficult to study the best methods and provide students with accurate previews of courses. Joi Moore, associate professor in the School of Information Science and Learning Technologies in the MU College of Education, along with doctoral students Camille Dickson-Deane and Krista Galyen, found several definitions ...

Migratory birds, domestic poultry and avian influenza

2011-04-06

The persistence and recurrence of H5N1 avian influenza in endemic regions can largely be blamed on movement and infection by migratory birds. Trade in poultry, poultry products and caged birds, and movement of wild birds also account for H5N1 prevalence in these areas. Several recent outbreaks of avian influenza have suggested strong evidence of migratory birds playing a role in transmitting the virus over long distances. In a paper published last week in the SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, authors Lydia Bourouiba, Stephen A. Gourley, Rongsong Liu, and Jianhong ...

Study finds link between chronic depression and accelerated immune cell aging

2011-04-06

Certain cases of major depression are associated with premature aging of immune cells, which may make people more susceptible to other serious illness, according to findings from a new UCSF-led study. The findings indicate that accelerated cell aging does not occur in all depressed individuals, but is dependent upon how long someone is depressed, particularly if that depression goes untreated. The study was published online in March 2011 by the journal PLoS One and is available here. "There's a lot more to depression than feeling blue," said first author Owen Wolkowitz, ...
