TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Storm Properties Inc., a leading developer, owner, and manager of residential, industrial, and commercial real estate, today announced the completion of its latest redevelopment project at Storm Plaza in Torrance, transforming a 4,250-square-foot space formerly occupied by Wells Fargo into two new retail units.

We are excited to introduce our two new tenants to the community in 2026.”
