Hayward milk plant makes way for new logistics center

A huge new multi-million dollar logistics center will soon go up where a century-old industrial dairy farm once stood.

A developer is going to demolish the Berkely Farms milk processing plant to build two class-A logistics structures with a total area of more than 380,000 square feet. The new facility will be called LogistiCenter Highway 92.

Dermody’s western region president George Condon recently told The Mercury News:

“The property offers immediate access to Highway 92, Interstate 880, the Peninsula and the Port of Oakland.”


The center will specialize in e-commerce businesses, combining office and administrative space with transportation and delivery methods. E-commerce has been growing on a rapid scale. Companies such as e-retail giant Amazon would use logistics centers similar to this one.

Berkeley Farms has been a staple of the Hayward business landscape since John Sabatte opened the farm in 1910. Dean Foods bought the farm in 1998, but the company recently closed down.

Shortly after closing Berkeley, Dean Foods sold the property to Dermody Properties for more than $48m. Dermody is based in Reno, Nevada and is the developer behind LogistiCenter Highway 92.

When new facilities and businesses open, there is a need for printed material such as Banners, Business Cards, and Letterheads that can be created and printed at local Print shops.

Demolition of the Berekely plant is expected in October. The new facility is expected to be fully and operational by the second quarter in 2022. The 20-acre property is located at 25500 Clawiter Road.
