Information

Referral History:

The development site is approximately 0.86 acres of land owned by the County and located on the west side of the Buchanan Field Airport on the north end of Sally Ride Drive. The site is designated for aviation use on the Buchanan Field Master Plan.

In February 2020, the County received a letter of interest to develop the 0.86 acres at Buchanan Field. In accordance with the Airport Division’s standard, the Airport Division solicited for competitive interest in developing the parcel prior to making a developer selection. This solicitation of competitive interest was transmitted to the current commercial tenants of both County airports and to those persons who have asked to be included on a list of developers interested in developing land at either of the County airports. The County did not receive any other letters of interest to develop this property.

On March 31, 2020, the Board authorized Airports staff to negotiate lease and development terms with VOLY RE, LLC. VOLY RE withdrew their development interest in early January 2021.

On January 14, 2021, the County received another letter of interest to develop the 0.86-acre parcel. Staff subsequently initiated a solicitation of competitive interest to current commercial tenants and to our list of parties interested in development on the airport properties. The deadline for competitive interest was March 1, 2021, and the County did not receive any additional letters of interest.

On March 30, 2021, the Board authorized Airports staff to negotiate lease and development terms with Mark Scott Construction, Inc.

Referral Update:

The development team is working with a prospective subtenant to determine a building design that could best meet their needs. Lease deal terms have been negotiated and the lease will be drafted upon receipt of the development deposit.
