LOCATION:
Antioch is one of California's oldest cities, with a burgeoning population of professionals and skilled workers. It is a crossroads linking the San Francisco/East Bay region to Sacramento and the Central Valley…a gateway to the plentiful recreational features and cultural facilities of Northern California and the Bay Area…without the high price tag of most Bay Area real estate.
DESCRIPTION:
Antioch’s 100,000+ residents are served by the recent business expansions in retail, light industrial, office and service sectors. Land available for future opportunities is plentiful and affordable compared to the rest of the Bay Area.
Antioch’s
location as “The Gateway to the Delta” provides recreational
opportunities along the San Joaquin River, in addition to a
municipal marina. Golf courses, neighborhood and regional parks,
as well as the Antioch Water Park, serve area residents.
The changing face of Antioch’s labor force – service employees, middle management, professionals and highly-skilled workers – are luring employers and new start-ups, driving the demand for commercial space in projects like the Bluerock Center, Lakeview Center, Hillcrest Professional Center and Deer Valley Business Park.
The affordability and availability of new and existing housing in Antioch is a distinct advantage in attracting and retaining qualified employees. Quality public schools and easy access to higher educational facilities are of additional benefit.
