Local expertise backed by the national reach of Lee & Associates

Our Story

The Ruscigno Cohen IE Industrial Team is a specialized commercial real estate group operating under the Lee & Associates umbrella — one of the largest broker-owned firms in North America. With deep roots in the Inland Empire, our team brings decades of hands-on experience in the region’s industrial market, serving owners, tenants, investors, and developers across every property type from small-bay manufacturing space to large-scale distribution centers.

Our singular focus on warehouse, distribution, and manufacturing properties means we understand the nuances that generic brokerages miss: dock-high vs. grade-level access, clear heights, yard requirements, power capacity, and the zoning intricacies unique to each Inland Empire submarket. We cover both IE West — including Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Chino, and Upland — and IE East — spanning Riverside, San Bernardino, Moreno Valley, Perris, and beyond.

Every engagement begins with data. We maintain a proprietary database of comparable transactions, vacancy rates, and absorption trends so our clients can make decisions grounded in real market intelligence rather than guesswork. Whether you are leasing 5,000 square feet or selling a 500,000-square-foot portfolio, our commitment is the same: transparent communication, rigorous analysis, and relentless advocacy on your behalf.
