Thirty-six acres of light-industrial land in the Calexico border corridor. Two parcels, priced to move, and offered with seller financing plus a willingness to partner on the right project.
This is raw industrial ground in one of the busiest cross-border trade lanes in the Southwest. Here is what makes it work.
Built for cross-border trade. You are minutes from the Calexico ports of entry. For warehousing, distribution, light manufacturing, or a maquiladora/IMMEX twin-plant operation (manufacture in Mexicali, warehouse and distribute on the U.S. side), your supply chain sits right next door.
Rail and reliable power. Union Pacific has expressed interest in a potential spur. The parcels sit next to the IID Pruett substation, which gives you a grid interconnection point and dependable industrial power. That is a real advantage for an energy project such as solar or battery storage, or for any power-using industrial tenant.
Cheap water on demand. A dedicated AAC delivery gate brings low-cost Imperial Valley canal water to the site. Use it for process, dust control, cold storage, agribusiness, or landscaping, without leaning on potable supply.
M1U zoning plus Opportunity Zone. Light-industrial zoning opens a wide range of by-right uses. The parcels also sit inside a federal Opportunity Zone, which can mean meaningful capital-gains treatment for the right buyer and structure. Talk to your tax advisor.
Room to design around. 36.07 flat, contiguous acres across two parcels (APNs 058-010-077-000 and 058-010-078-000). Big enough for a serious facility, clean enough to phase, and a logical assemblage piece for anyone aggregating in the corridor.
Flexible terms. This is the part most listings cannot match. Seller financing is available. I will consider carrying paper for a qualified buyer, so you can control the land without a bank's timeline. And for the right project, I am open to a joint venture instead of an outright sale. If you have the vision and a capital partner, let us talk about building it together.
Best-fit uses include cross-border logistics and distribution, light manufacturing, industrial outdoor storage or a truck terminal, cold storage and agribusiness, renewable energy or battery storage, and for a forward-looking developer, a data-center or high-performance-computing site (see below).
The data-center opportunity
Imperial Valley has become one of the most talked-about data-center frontiers in the country. A multibillion-dollar hyperscale campus and a wave of AI-focused developers are racing to plant flags here, drawn by inexpensive land, abundant sun and geothermal energy, and easy reach to the San Diego and Mexicali power and fiber corridors. This 36-acre parcel is a rare, low-basis way into that market. It offers flat, contiguous, M1U-zoned ground ready to design around, a dedicated water gate for cooling, Union Pacific rail interest, and substation adjacency for grid interconnection. Because the whole parcel sits inside a federal Opportunity Zone, a data-center investor may be able to shelter capital gains while developing, a stack of tax advantage and growth-market timing that is hard to find anywhere in California.
The bigger story is the path to power. Many of the most capable data-center developers in supply-constrained markets no longer wait in the grid-interconnection queue. They bring their own generation. Imperial Valley is one of the richest solar and geothermal resource zones in North America, so an on-site or co-located strategy such as solar-plus-storage, behind-the-meter generation, or a power-purchase agreement with a nearby renewable project can feed a facility without competing for scarce grid capacity. Add substation adjacency for interconnection, low-cost canal water for cooling, and the seller financing or JV terms offered here to control the land through the county's current planning cycle, and a developer has a real runway to a build-ready AI or HPC site as zoning clarifies. Full disclosure: the parcel is in unincorporated Imperial County, which adopted a temporary data-center permitting pause in mid-2026 while it finalizes zoning policy. Applications are still being accepted during the pause, and you should verify current status directly with the county. For a buyer who can think a step ahead, the timing works in your favor.
Priced at $4,500,000, or about $124,757 per acre. Seller financing and a JV are both on the table. Bring your engineer and your plan.
