Visalia’s residential and commercial/industrial prices are significantly lower than other areas of California; when compared to communities throughout the west, they again are well below average.

Businesses looking for new facilities are turning to Visalia and the Central San Joaquin Valley as a cost-effective alternative.

  • The Visalia Industrial Park is located at the northeast corner of State Highways 99 and 198 – the major highways through California’s Central Valley.
  • Visalia’s Industrial Park was designed and built for heavy traffic. Recent and planned improvements will result in separated, four-lane access from the Industrial Park to the freeway system along multiple routes.
  • Residential and retail commercial operations have been restricted within and around the Industrial Park, allowing it to develop and grow without conflict from adjacent property owners.
  • Industrial land cost, based on 5-10 improved acres, range from $.80 and $2.50 per square foot. Similar industrial land in the Inland Empire runs between $3.75 and $4.50 per square foot and in the Los Angeles or South Bay regions at $8.00 to $10.00 per square foot.
  • Construction costs in Visalia remain highly competitive at $15.00 - $20.00 per square foot for a building only; $30 - $40 per square foot inclusive.
  • Low rent also makes Visalia desirable as an industrial site. Newly constructed, class A industrial space rents for $.28 - $.34 triple net per square foot.
