Commercial, Investment, Retail & Industrial Real Estate Opportunities Abound in Cheyenne. Reported January 9, 2007.
With the influx of new businesses of all types to the Cheyenne area, the supply of commercial, investment, retail and industrial properties is being absorbed very rapidly. Cheyenne LEADS, the Wyoming Business Development Council and the Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce have taken very aggressive approaches to offering special incentives to corporations and companies who consider Cheyenne for their plants or headquarters. For that reason, many buyers are looking for a suitable property - office building, medical building, shopping malls, strip centers, warehouses, industrial strip centers and multi-use buildings.
There is no slowdown in the Cheyenne market. Low interest rates, an attractive tax climate and continued growth of the medical industry, State and Federal government and regional distribution centers have helped to keep this market strong. The oil and gas boom is raising the demand throughout the entire state, including Cheyenne.
Cheyenne is experiencing a very strong inbound migration from Colorado, California, Arizona, and Utah. Federal employees from Washington, DC, and other areas are being relocated to Cheyenne. This strong housing demand for the past several years has also impacted the commercial and industrial markets. The addition of several new master planned communities and residential developments, such as The Pointe, Mustang Ridge, Harmony Meadows and South Park Estates, have created a need for retail and service centers.
In recent years, Cheyenne has become more diversified as new corporations relocate to the area. We are an economy that is now more than just cowboys and tourism, with medical services, software development, engineering, financial services and distribution centers, just to name just a few.
The city's manufacturing sector has been responsible for the unprecedented growth east and west of town. And the newly announced Marriott Hotel under construction at Gateway Plaza and the proposed Technology Center, located at Fox Farm Road and Walterscheid Road, will attracted smaller high tech companies. South Cheyenne is ripe for the development of a technology corridor that will bring bring new jobs and new companies to the area.
Developers in the Cheyenne commercial and industrial arena have met the needs of this fast growing economy by adding corporate business parks, industrial parks and state of the art office buildings to accommodate these companies and their staffs.
Opportunities still exist for any company that wants to purchase land for their own custom office or warehouse headquarters.
