DESCRIPTION

Tejon Ranch is a California land company built around a single core asset: roughly 270,000 contiguous acres located about 60 miles north of Los Angeles along Interstate 5, at the natural passage between the Los Angeles Basin and the Central Valley. The company's primary earnings driver is the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center (TRCC), a large-scale industrial and commercial development where Tejon Ranch leases space to logistics and distribution tenants — including IKEA, L'Oréal, Dollar General, Caterpillar, and Nestlé — under net leases. TRCC's I-5 frontage gives tenants direct access to California's main north-south freight corridor, and Tejon Ranch argues the location offers a roughly 40% cost advantage over the Inland Empire. Beyond direct leasing, Tejon Ranch earns joint venture income through 50/50 partnerships with Majestic Realty on industrial buildings, and holds a 60% stake in a TA/Petro travel center joint venture — its single largest earnings contributor. The company also generates revenue from farming (almonds, pistachios, and wine grapes), mineral royalties (oil and gas, cement, and rock and aggregate), and ranch operations (grazing leases and game management). A new Multifamily segment launched in 2025 with 228 apartment units at TRCC. Longer term, Tejon Ranch holds entitlements for three large master-planned residential communities totaling over 34,000 housing units, though none have broken ground; the company plans to develop these through third-party joint ventures over multi-decade timelines.
