The World Logistics Center is reshaping the Inland Empire's skyline — one building at a time. Glasswerks fabricated the bronze facade glass for a campus built at a scale few projects ever reach.
Built for the World’s Busiest Supply Chain
At dusk, the office building at the World Logistics Center in Moreno Valley doesn’t recede into its industrial surroundings — it absorbs them. The deep bronze curtainwall drinks in the sunset, mirroring the California sky in panels that stretch floor to ceiling, edge to edge. It’s a deliberate statement on a campus that was never designed to look like a warehouse park.
Developed by Highland Fairview and master-planned by Stantec, the World Logistics Center is one of the most consequential logistics developments in North American history: a 2,600-acre, $25 billion campus targeting net-zero operations on the eastern edge of Moreno Valley, positioned 75 miles from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The architecture had to signal that ambition from the road. The glass is a big part of how it does.
Our Scope of Work
Glasswerks fabricated the facade IGUs for the office building — Vitro Solarbronze® over Guardian SNX 62/27 Clear, a high-performance coating that balances solar heat gain control with the deep, warm reflectivity visible in the finished facade. From the shop floor to the job site, every unit had to arrive consistent in color, dimension, and performance. So-Cal Glass handled field installation.
- Fabricated Vitro Solarbronze® IGUs over Guardian SNX 62/27 Clear in regular and jumbo formats
- Delivered units dimensionally consistent and color-matched across a large-format, high-visibility curtainwall
- Produced regular and jumbo-format units to meet the scale of the building’s most expansive facade bays
- Supplied fabricated glass to So-Cal Glass for field installation into the curtainwall system
“A facade like this one has nowhere to hide. Color consistency, dimensional accuracy, performance — every unit is on display. That’s the standard we hold our shop to, and it’s what a project like this demands.”
