AllianceCalifornia Gateway South 8: Building a Greener Future in San Bernardino

Social Sharing

Completed in May 2024, Gateway South 8 is a LEED Silver-certified industrial development located at 584 E Norman Road, San Bernardino, CA. As part of the AllianceCalifornia expansion, the project was designed under the LEED BD+C: Warehouses and Distribution Centers v4 rating system to deliver long-term environmental and economic value to the region.


The project underwent a comprehensive environmental assessment, leading to proactive mitigation measures such as nesting bird surveys and the presence of tribal and paleo monitors during earthwork. Additionally, 21% of the site was designated for regional flood control to manage peak stormwater flows and enhance site resilience.

  • LEED Silver Certification awarded in December 2024
  • 38% energy savings via skylights, LEDs, and smart lighting controls
  • 65% landfill diversion through recycled construction waste
  • 77% reduction in potable water use across the site
  • 29+ Environmental Product Declarations and 15+ ingredient disclosures

Eco Excellence Meets Community Progress

Gateway South 8 sets a new benchmark for sustainable industrial development. Every design decision, from daylight-optimized lighting and high-efficiency systems to water-saving strategies and material transparency, was made with long-term environmental and community impact in mind. The project not only meets LEED Silver standards but also demonstrates how industrial growth can align with ecological responsibility and forward-thinking design.

Jobs Created. Culture Respected. Resilience Built.

The project is expected to generate 50+ construction jobs and 130 full-time operational positions, directly supporting the San Bernardino community. Cultural resources were protected through tribal and paleo monitoring, while flood control infrastructure ensures the site is prepared for future storm events, delivering both economic opportunity and environmental resilience. Protecting both people and place.
