POWAY - There are no more large vacant lots available in the South Poway Business Park, a fact real estate executives said highlights an industrial land shortage in the county.
"We're out of large lots and the biggest lot left is 33 acres," said Ron Mittag, Poway's economic development manager. "We have 2 10 vacant acres left in the 700-acre park and that's about enough for another three years of development."
He said the shortage of land in the industrial park prompted three high-tech companies looking for large sites to go elsewhere.
He declined to disclose their names.
What will be the last large project to be built in the park has just broken ground this month, he added. Toppan Inc., a Japanese electronics company, is constructing a threebuilding, 480,000-square-foot office and industrial facility on the south side of Scripps Poway Parkway.
The company intends to manufacture ceramic capacitors and other electronic components at the site, he said.
