A rare and significant industrial development opportunity has been launched on California’s Central Coast. Colliers has announced it is exclusively marketing a ±295-acre land parcel situated next to the Paso Robles Municipal Airport.
The property is located within the City’s proposed “Tech Corridor,” making it one of the largest industrial land offerings in the region. It is described as well-suited for a diverse range of high-growth operations, including manufacturing, logistics, aerospace, and technology-driven facilities.
The Santa Barbara team at Colliers is handling the exclusive marketing assignment for the private Seller. The team is led by Executive Vice President Austin Herlihy and includes Vice Presidents Miles Waters, Chris Parker, and Mike Lopus, alongside Associate Mike Chung.
Paso Robles, traditionally known for its wine country, is undergoing a rapid transition to become a hub for innovation and advanced manufacturing. This change is accelerated by the City’s active pursuit of an FAA spaceport license, a move that aims to position the area for future aerospace testing, research, and industrial expansion. This available site is central to that evolution, offering the necessary scale and flexibility for modern industrial needs.
Austin Herlihy commented on the property’s unique standing. He said, “This property is unmatched in scale and strategic positioning. With its location in the city’s proposed Tech Corridor and proximity to the airport—soon to be enhanced by a potential FAA spaceport designation—this site offers a generational opportunity for industrial developers and end users seeking room to grow in a business-forward environment.”
The ±295-acre site is suitable for large-scale development, accommodating various uses from multi-building business parks to specialised R&D and aerospace facilities. The location offers excellent transport links via Highways 46 and 101, which aids efficient regional and statewide distribution. Furthermore, direct airport access is a major benefit for industries that depend on air transport, aerospace operations, and advanced supply-chain integration.
The City of Paso Robles is actively supporting industrial expansion through long-range planning and infrastructure investment focused on advanced manufacturing, clean technology, and aerospace development.
Mike Chung added, “Paso Robles is taking significant steps to position itself as a competitive hub for next-generation industries. This site provides the scale, access, and forward-looking vision that industrial users, manufacturers, and technology companies are increasingly demanding.”
