Here’s how we protect you in South Bay Los Angeles
- No Conflicts of Interest
We represent tenants only—never landlords—so every recommendation is aligned with your business, your economics, and your long-term strategy. - Stronger Negotiating Position
We leverage real-time market data, comparable transactions, and landlord insight to negotiate from a position of strength so you’re not leaving concessions or value on the table. - Lower Total Occupancy Costs
We look beyond base rent to structure the full deal: tenant improvement allowances, free rent, operating expenses, flexibility, and long-term financial impact. - No Cost to You
Tenant representation fees are typically paid by the landlord, allowing you to retain expert representation without additional out-of-pocket cost.
I started Peninsula Commercial Real Estate Group with a clear focus: to represent tenants with integrity, strategy, and a level of care that is often missing in this industry.
As a woman in this industry, I bring a perspective grounded in discipline, attention to detail, and a strong sense of accountability. I also deeply value working with a diverse range of clients and perspectives, which shapes how I approach every assignment.
That mindset carries through to how we represent our clients. We are detail-oriented, disciplined in our analysis, and fully committed to protecting your interests at every step.
My background also shapes this approach. I spent over 15 years at large commercial real estate firms, including Cushman & Wakefield and Grubb & Ellis, where I gained experience working on complex transactions and institutional-level deals. I also value the sense of community, collaboration, and giving back that was instilled in me through USC—something that continues to influence how I build relationships and support my clients.
Today, I bring that institutional experience into a more boutique, hands-on approach—providing thoughtful, strategic guidance with a high level of personal attention.

How Much Space Do You Need?
Determining the right amount of industrial space depends on your operational needs, staffing, storage requirements, and future growth plans.
Important factors to consider include:
- Number of employees
- Warehouse storage requirements
- Pallet count and rack layout
- Ceiling height requirements
- Dock-high vs. ground-level loading
- Manufacturing or assembly operations
- Office-to-warehouse ratio
- Parking requirements
- Truck access and circulation
- Future expansion plans
As a general guideline:
- Small warehouse users often require approximately 1,500–5,000 SF
- Flex and showroom users may require approximately 3,000–15,000 SF
- Distribution and logistics users may require 10,000–100,000+ SF depending on operations
Our team can help analyze your operational needs and determine the most efficient layout and size requirement before touring properties.

The South Bay industrial market remains one of the strongest industrial regions in Los Angeles due to its strategic infill location, transportation infrastructure, and proximity to major consumer and logistics hubs. (cbre.com)
Despite some increases in vacancy compared to peak pandemic-era conditions, industrial fundamentals across the greater Los Angeles region remain relatively healthy due to limited supply and continued demand for well-located infill industrial product. (colliers.com)
