The development of Delano Marketplace began in 2008 and continued through 2022. The 156,714-square-foot retail center has a consistent history of strong performance, maintaining above 90% occupancy rate.

Delano Marketplace is a 47-acre master-planned retail development anchored by Walmart, strategically located at 500–730 Woollomes Avenue in Delano, California, directly adjacent to State Highway 99, one of the busiest north–south corridors in the state. This prime location provides exceptional freeway visibility and seamless connectivity to both Southern and Northern California, positioning the project as a central hub for retail, dining, office, and hospitality within Kern County.

As the largest retail center in Delano, the project is anchored by high-traffic national retailers, led by Walmart, which generate consistent customer flow and reinforce the site’s strong regional pull. The city of Delano—Kern County’s second-largest city and part of one of the fastest-growing Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the United States—adds further depth to the marketplace’s trade area.

Located just 30 miles north of Bakersfield, Delano serves as a strategic industrial and commercial hub, positioned between major population centers such as Los Angeles, Fresno, Bakersfield, and San Francisco. This advantageous placement enhances both the long-term visibility and enduring value of Delano Marketplace, ensuring its continued role as a dominant commercial destination in the Central Valley.

The Gateway at Brawley is a planned 408-unit luxury multifamily community strategically located in Brawley, California, the second-largest city in Imperial County. The project sits directly adjacent to the city’s Walmart-anchored shopping center, the region’s dominant retail hub. This prime location provides residents with immediate access to essential retail, dining, and services while benefiting from the steady traffic and visibility generated by the area’s leading commercial anchor. In addition, the community is located near Pioneers Memorial Hospital, a 107-bed acute care facility and one of the region’s largest employers, offering comprehensive medical services and reinforcing the area’s role as a regional hub for both healthcare and employment. For future residents, it delivers unmatched convenience and lifestyle benefits, while providing investors with security through stable demand, resilient cash flow, and strong long-term growth potential.

Directly south of the site lies the proposed “Rancho Los Lagos” Specific Plan, a transformative 2,000-acre master-planned community designed to include up to 3,800 homes, a 218-acre business park, retail, schools, parks, lakes, and an 18-hole golf course. Positioned at the entrance to this landmark development, The Gateway at Brawley will stand as the first modern multifamily community serving the area, capturing early demand and creating powerful long-term synergies that enhance both stability and value.

Strategically located along a major interstate corridor, The Gateway at Brawley offers direct connectivity to Palm Springs, CA, San Diego, CA, and Phoenix, AZ. Aligned with the Imperial Valley’s transformation into “Lithium Valley”, billions of dollars in geothermal, lithium, renewable energy, and AI data center investments are expected to generate thousands of jobs—creating strong demand for modern, high-quality housing that the community is designed to meet.
