The County of Sacramento’s economic development team is cooperating fully with the development/equity partner McClellan Park LLC to market and redevelop the former base. McClellan Park is comprised of three key entities: Kelley and Associates, Industrial Realty Group, one of the nation’s largest firms specializing in the reuse of industrial properties, and Morgan Stanley Real Estate Funds, one of the largest and most successful real estate investors in the world. These companies combine the hands-on experience, industry knowledge and financial strength necessary to successfully plan and develop more than 16 million square feet of space.
The commercial real estate potential for private sector firms is just starting to be realized. The ongoing development of McClellan Business Park is transforming the former base into California’s largest master planned community. Of the approximately 11 million square feet of buildings on the former base, McClellan Park has already leased over 5 million square feet with additional leases pending. The future prospects for securing even more commercial tenants are enhanced by its ideal location and amenities. McClellan Business Park is located minutes from all major freeways in the area and the region’s light rail system and is a short drive to the Sacramento International Airport.
This project is focused on the South McClellan District of the former base and is highlighted in yellow in the above map. Upon completion, the new infrastructure will open this District for future development. This project has components from varied sources CMB, EDA grant, master developer, and private capital. Four components make up the South McClellan Project:
1 - Roadway and landscaping infrastructure improvements
Winters Avenue Segment: Plans call for improvements to Winters Avenue up to the intersection of Bell Road and Dudley Boulevard and the extension and realignment of Winters with Kilzer Avenue to allow seamless access to McClellan Business Park from the Winters Avenue exit off of Interstate-80. Additionally, Kilzer Avenue will be realigned so that its centerline matches that of Winters Street, thus eliminating the easterly jog of Kilzer and the intersection with Dudley. This will benefit South McClellan by providing a safer, less congested primary access. It will also serve to divert truck traffic away from the South District. This segment also involves the construction of a new 4-way signalized intersection at the intersection of Winters/Kilzer and Bell/Dudley. The Winters Avenue improvements also include new signals, sidewalks, street lights, landscaping and drainage. Significant pavement repair and the relocation of utility, gutter and drainage facilities will be done along Winters.
North Street Frontage Road Segment: This involves infrastructure improvements such as 1,450 linear feet of pavement repair and the relocation of curb, gutter, sidewalk, drainage and utilities. New landscaping will also be added along North Street.
Forcum Avenue Segment: This involves the extension of Forcum into the South McClellan Office Park. This segment includes improvements such as 2,350 linear feet of pavement repair as well as the relocation of curb, gutter, sidewalk, drainage and utilities and new landscaping along Forcum.
Dudley Boulevard Segment: This segment calls for 9,200 linear feet of pavement widening, curb, gutter, sidewalk, and utility relocation, landscaping and new traffic signals.
2 - Storm drainage improvements infrastructure
Consistent with the McClellan Drainage Master Plan and the EDA Phase 1 improvements, all remaining District drainage improvements will be installed to county standard. The resulting system will be reliable, low-maintenance, and will eliminate nuisance flooding. Proposed improvements include approximately 2,890 feet of storm drain pipe installed to county standards. This drainage plan also involves the construction of a detention basin in southern portion of the new office park.
3 - Sanitary sewer infrastructure improvements
The District sewer system will also be upgraded to comply with county standards in conformance with the McClellan Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. Sewer collection system components constructed under the EDA Phase I improvements will tie into the improvements proposed under this Project. The sanitary sewer portion of the proposed investment consists of two interrelated improvements: 1) lift station and force main improvement (downstream improvements); and 2) District sewer improvements. These improvements will provide a reliable sanitary sewer system that will support full redevelopment of the South McClellan District by replacing substandard existing facilities with county standard facilities.
4 - New commercial 50,000 sq ft office building - the first phase of a new flex office park
According to the terms to the Federal EDA grant providing $4 million of the total capital required for this South McClellan District Project, McClellan Park is responsible for constructing a new 50,000 square foot commercial office building. This building will comprise the first phase of a new smaller flex office business park. These above detailed infrastructure improvement projects will support the development of this structure as well as the flex office business park where the new building will be situated. The development of this planned office park is only possible if these infrastructure improvements are completed first.
