Cushman & Wakefield is pleased to present Robinson & HWY 111 (the “Property”), a ±4.25-acre high-density multifamily
development opportunity located in the growing border city of Calexico, California.
Strategically positioned along Robinson Blvd, just west of HWY 111, the site is designated in the City of Calexico’s 6th Cycle Housing Element and is eligible for by-right development under the proposed RA (Residential Apartment) zone change. This zoning allows for high-density residential uses with a potential yield of up to 92 multifamily units, making it an ideal opportunity for developers focused on market-rate or affordable housing.
The property sits in close proximity to essential retail, educational institutions, and employment centers, including both Calexico East and West Port of Entries, which connects directly to Mexicali’s thriving industrial corridor. As cross-border commerce and regional logistics continue to expand, the demand for quality housing near the port and major highways is projected to rise significantly.
With immediate access to HWY 111 & HWY 98, the site offers excellent regional connectivity. Major infrastructure investments in the area, including ongoing improvements to the East Port and transportation corridors, further enhance the long-term value proposition of this development opportunity.
The City of Calexico continues to position itself as a gateway for binational trade and workforce housing. Forward-thinking leadership and a streamlined entitlement process for Housing Element sites make this location highly attractive for institutional and private multifamily developers.
