What's happening

Cathedral City is the lead agency for CV Commerce Center, a proposed industrial park of multiple warehouse buildings on 439.5 acres north of Interstate 10 in the Coachella Valley. A Notice of Preparation for an Environmental Impact Report circulated in August 2024.

The proposal totals nearly 8 million square feet of building area (7,964,750 SF), with additional parcels set aside for mixed use and stormwater management. It requires a general plan amendment and a zone change. The filing does not name a developer, and no later environmental document was found in our research.

  • Size: About 7.96M SF of building area on 439.5 acres
  • Developer: Not named in the filing
  • Location: North of I-10, Cathedral City, Riverside County
  • Status/Timing: NOP circulated August 2024; EIR in preparation
  • Approvals needed: General plan amendment and rezoning

What it means for owners, tenants and investors

The Coachella Valley has little large-format industrial inventory compared with the western Inland Empire, so a project at this scale would be a new kind of supply for the desert market. Occupiers serving the eastern counties and Arizona could gain a closer distribution option, while investors should weigh absorption risk in a market without a deep logistics tenant base.

CV Commerce Center would bring western Inland Empire-scale warehousing to the Coachella Valley if it wins its land use changes.

What to watch

Watch for the Draft EIR, named applicant and the city's decision on the general plan amendment and rezoning.
