construction has been seen.
New CapRock building west of Plaza gets OK
For the third year in a row, Newport Beach-based CapRock will be
constructing another million square ft speculative building in
2023. The company recently got a “proceed” nod from the city on
plans filed for a 1.27 million sf concrete tilt-up building west of
PlazaDrive a mile north of Riggin. According to the traffic study
on the big project the intent is to open in 2023, an ambitious
schedule.
CapRock’s other two spec buildings were both leased to Amazon –
one in 2021 and other just opening in the past few months in
2022.
New Amazon just half filled
Work continues inside the new 1.1 million sf Amazon building
on Ave 320 the Visalia Industrial park. The parking lot is crowded
with several hundred cars but only about half the building is being
used with construction continuing inside on the rest say workers
at the sprawling facility. To keep traffic from impacting Riggin,
workers coming and leaving the new plant can’t go south on
Kelsey but must use Plaza Dr.
