VanTrust Real Estate Initiates Rio Del Oro Business Park Development

In an exciting development for the Sacramento region, VanTrust Real Estate has officially broken ground on the Rio Del Oro Business Park in Rancho Cordova. This new Class A industrial project will feature 282,435 square feet of modern shallow-bay industrial space, representing a significant investment in one of Northern California’s rapidly growing employment centers.

Project Overview

The Rio Del Oro Business Park will consist of three state-of-the-art buildings measuring 112,825, 103,690, and 65,920 square feet respectively, totaling the aforementioned 282,435 square feet of new industrial space. The construction of this project commenced in late August 2026, and it is anticipated to be completed by the summer of 2027.

Located on an extensive 18.72-acre site at the intersection of Rancho Cordova Parkway and Gold Dredge Way, this development is part of the Rio Del Oro Specific Plan, which marks the largest master-planned community in Rancho Cordova's history. The site's strategic location provides easy accessibility to the U.S. Highway 50 corridor, making it a prime choice for businesses that require reliable transportation links. Additionally, the site is in close proximity to the Sacramento Mather Airport, and easily connects to major interstates including I-5 and I-80, as well as the Sacramento International Airport.

Catering to Labor Demand

The demand for shallow-bay industrial spaces in this submarket is robust, and this new development aims to fill that gap by offering units ranging from 15,600 to 50,000 square feet. The flexibility in the unit sizes means businesses can design their spaces according to their specific requirements, accommodating both small and growing companies.

Tyler Williams, Senior Director of Development at VanTrust, emphasized the significance of this project, stating, "Good industrial sites in this region are hard to come by, and this one checked every box — location, access, and a city that was ready to work with us. We are delivering modern space in the sizes growing companies are actually asking for."

Modern Features and Design

Each building within the Rio Del Oro Business Park will be equipped with modern facilities, including dock-high and grade-level loading capabilities. The design incorporates spacious truck courts with a total of 360 parking stalls available across the site, ensuring ease of access for vehicles of all sizes, which is vital for efficient distribution and logistics operations.

The architectural design of the development has been entrusted to HPA Architecture, with Uprite Construction serving as the general contractor. Wood Rodgers, Inc. will provide civil engineering services for the project, ensuring that all state-of-the-art construction standards are met.

Economic Impacts

The impact of this new development on the regional economy cannot be overstated. The Rio Del Oro Business Park is poised to generate numerous job opportunities and significantly boost tax revenues. By strengthening Rancho Cordova's position as an employment hub within the wider Sacramento area, the project will foster an environment conducive to business growth and attract a variety of industries looking to establish or expand their operations.

Mark Demetre, Vice Chair at Colliers, remarked on the pressing need for such developments, saying, "Tenants in this size range have had very few new options to choose from, and demand hasn’t slowed. Rio Del Oro Business Park puts quality space back on the table in a location that works for companies serving the whole Sacramento region."
