This zoning classification permits uses including automobile repair shops, parcel delivery services, wholesale businesses, storage buildings, light manufacturing and assembly.

Nearby points of interest include the Coachella Valley Repertory, Cathedral City Community Amphitheater, Agua Caliente Casino, and Welk Resorts Palm Springs - Desert Oasis. Additionally, the site benefits from proximity to major national and regional tenants such as Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Mike Thompson’s RV Super + Store, Quick Quack Car Wash, Taco Bell, Circle K, NAPA Auto Parts, and Crystal Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.

With its versatile zoning, prime location, and strong market fundamentals, this property presents significant upside potential for owner-users and developers looking to leverage Cathedral City’s continued growth and redevelopment momentum.

Coachella Valley, strategically positioned along the vital I-10 corridor—a major logistics route to the East Coast—is an ideal location for industrial operations. The region boasts 18.1 million square feet of industrial space, with 9.9 million square feet dedicated to logistics, underscoring its role as a key hub for distribution and warehousing. Additionally, 6.2 million square feet of specialized industrial space, primarily focused on manufacturing, highlights the valley’s versatility and appeal for a broad range of industrial users. The area’s industrial properties are centered around the renowned resort cities of Palm Springs and Palm Desert, offering a unique blend of business opportunities and lifestyle appeal.

While asking rents for industrial space in the broader Inland Empire have slightly decreased from peak levels, the Coachella Valley remains competitive, with long-term rent growth projected to continue. The region’s high demand, limited supply, and significant barriers to new development make it an attractive location for industrial tenants, particularly as the market stabilizes and expands.

Located between Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City—fondly known as “Cat City”—is a thriving desert resort community and one of the largest cities in the Coachella Valley with a population of 55,000. Cathedral City’s central location, combined with its appeal as a year-round destination for visitors and residents alike, makes it a prime location for businesses seeking a vibrant and growing market. The city offers excellent access to major thoroughfares and freeways, allowing for efficient transportation and connectivity.
