CH Realty Partners (CHRP) has secured full entitlements for Beaumont Pointe, a landmark 622-acre industrial and commercial development within the City of Beaumont, California.

Construction on Phase One will begin early next year, encompassing 2 million square feet of industrial space divided into two buildings.

Beaumont Pointe will be along the south side of SR 60 west of Jack Rabbit Trail. In total, more than 5.3 million square feet of industrial and commercial space is planned. This breaks down to five million square feet of Class A industrial/logistics space across six buildings; 246,000 square feet of general commercial; a planned 125-room hotel; and 277 acres of open space and conservation area.

This approval caps a multi-year effort that involved full CEQA compliance, a General Plan amendment, annexation into the City and Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District (BCVWD) and the formation of a Community Facilities District (CFD) to fund public infrastructure.

“Beaumont Pointe shows how a complex industrial entitlement in California can succeed by combining litigation risk management, regulatory innovation, and environmental stewardship,” Philip Cyburt, CEO of CH Realty Partners, told GlobeSt.com. “The project provides a model for overcoming CEQA challenges while maintaining the economics needed for this development.”

Upon its completion, the project is expected to carry a $1.5 billion total development value and support more than 5,400 jobs and significantly expand Beaumont’s tax base.

The CFD structure means the project will privately fund infrastructure such as roads and utilities. Final LAFCO approvals for annexation and water service extension were approved in July 2025.

Cyburt said his investors appreciate the opportunity to invest in a high-growth market and a 5 million square foot industrial project that will be one of the largest single-owner business parks along a major freeway in the Inland Empire.

“Scale provides a distinct value proposition that includes flexible building sizes, additional land for trailer storage, and the ability for users to own their real estate long term,” he added.

“What also attracted investors was the ability to be associated with a state-of-the-art, Class A sustainable business park development that will provide next-generation logistics and distribution facilities.”

The 622 acres were purchased in 2018, so the investors “took a huge leap of faith,” according to Cyburt, for CH Realty Partners to achieve entitlements that included a general plan amendment, certified EIR, zone change specific plan, 10-year development agreement and annexation of the property from the County of Riverside into the City of Beaumont.

CH Realty Partners worked with the City of Beaumont in partnership to get the right balance of open space, design guidelines, building aesthetics and a traffic management program that ensures trucks won’t disturb residential streets, he said.
