On July 7, 2026, Industrial Realty Group, LLC (IRG) announced the successful completion of extensive renovations at the Santiam Industrial Center, a significant industrial campus spanning over 528,000 square feet in Stayton, Oregon. This transformation signals a new era for the former NORPAC food processing facility, which has been revamped into a modern multi-tenant hub for various industrial and manufacturing activities.
The Santiam Industrial Center has undergone an ambitious redevelopment project aimed at enhancing both its functionality and visual appeal. Notable upgrades included:
- - Fresh exterior paint and enhancements to the building's facade
- - Installation of upgraded LED lighting for both interior and exterior spaces
- - Comprehensive site improvements, including extensive paving work and debris removal
- - Creation of modernized warehouse and production spaces
- - Enhancements to loading and truck circulation areas
- - Improved landscaping and beautification efforts
- - Preparation of flexible, move-in-ready spaces for prospective tenants
- - Relocation and update of utilities to meet modern standards
These renovations have dramatically reshaped the Santiam Industrial Center, elevating its status to a premier industrial campus situated in the vibrant heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley. According to Coby Holley, Executive Vice President at IRG, "At IRG, we see tremendous potential in properties that have strong infrastructure and strategic locations. The improvements at Santiam Industrial Center have created a modern industrial environment that can accommodate a broad range of users while preserving the site's important role as an employment center for the region."
Strategically positioned between Portland and Eugene, the Santiam Industrial Center provides immediate access to key regional transportation networks. The property is conveniently located just two miles from Highway 22 and approximately 13 miles from Interstate 5.
Currently, the center boasts available spaces ranging from approximately 8,000 square feet to nearly 247,000 square feet, catering to both expanding businesses and large-scale industrial users. The site also features abundant parking, heavy power capabilities, new loading docks, and ample land available for outdoor storage and operational needs.

He continued, "We believe tenants will be impressed by the transformation and the opportunities the property provides."
This redevelopment is emblematic of IRG's long-standing strategy of investing in underutilized industrial assets and transforming them into state-of-the-art facilities that are conducive to economic growth and the creation of job opportunities.
As the renovations come to a close, IRG is optimistic about the future of the Santiam Industrial Center, with a renewed focus on attracting tenants who can leverage the newly enhanced features of the property.
