The Irvine-based Lusk Co. has purchased a majority interest in the 1,855-acre California Commerce Center in Ontario and its operating master development partnership, Ontario Industrial Partners.

Lusk purchased the interest formerly held by STA II, a joint venture of Hillman Properties, Donald W. Shaw and Milton Gottlieb.

The $250-million project will have a value of about $1.5 billion upon its completion in the mid-1990s, according to Lusk President Donavan D. Huennekens. He added that Shaw, a Newport Beach-based real estate developer, will continue to have an interest in Ontario Industrial Partners.
