McClellan Park
and maintenance hangars, and historical
buildings we’ve repurposed. The west
side is more industrial. That’s where we
have 7 miles of on-site rail served by both
Union Pacific and BNSF (Railway). The
west side is also where we see our future
development happening; we’re entitled to
develop up to another 5 square miles on
that side.”
McClellan already has added hundreds
of thousands of square feet of new
buildings, including a 417,637-squarefoot
building constructed on spec but
already leased to Amazon; approximately
220,000 square feet of recently completed
cold storage for United States
Cold Storage; and a 355,000-square-foot
warehouse under construction for US
Foods. Giannotti says plans include three
more buildings comprising 400,000
square feet of warehouse space, scheduled
to break ground in spring 2021.
An array of companies — nearly 250
commercial and airport tenants, including
a handful of government entities —
have been drawn to McClellan Park over
the last two decades. Amazon is perhaps
the highest profile one, but others
include construction supplier Hydra Logistics
Group; Packaging Corporation of
America; solar panel company Sunergy
America; Villara Building Systems; drone
manufacturer Kratos; Siemens Mobility
Customer Services; DirectTV/AT&T;
fabricator Berger Steel; data centers Consolidated
Communications, Prime Data
Centers and Quest; and McClellan Jet
Services, which operates out of Sacramento
McClellan Airport and performs
aircraft maintenance and storage.
McClellan also includes nonindustrial
tenants. California State Parks leases
space for its museum collection center
containing millions of artifacts and records.
Twin Rivers Unified School District
has 300 employees, while Gateway
Community Charter hosts staff members
as well as more than 1,500 students.
The Aerospace Museum of California
— formerly the McClellan Aviation
Museum, which was established in 1986
— features a 4-acre outdoor air park and
a collection of aircraft, rockets, artifacts
and engines. The Lions Gate Hotel and
Conference Center includes guest cottages,
houses and suites, extended-stay
accommodations, and banquet rooms for
events of all kinds.
“I see McClellan as Sacramento’s
brightest business park in terms of size,
occupancy, renovations and amenities,”
says Giannotti. “We have a proven
identity, recognition by the industrial
marketplace and a great location that will
be a gateway for new development.”
