First Palm Springs Commerce Center

The First Palm Springs Commerce Center project, managed by the City of Palm Springs, involves the development of a fulfillment center on 91 acres of industrially zoned land at the southwest corner of North Indian Canyon Drive and 18th Avenue in Palm Springs, California. The project consists of a two-lot subdivision and the construction of two warehouse buildings totaling approximately 1.9 million square feet. The project is currently in the environmental review and approval phase, with a Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) completed in July 2025 and a Notice of Determination issued on July 22, 2025. The scope of work focuses on regulatory compliance under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), requiring adherence to standards from the South Coast Air Quality Management District, the California Department of Transportation, and the Federal Highway Administration. Key deliverables include air quality analyses, human health risk assessments, and noise impact studies. Project approval is contingent upon the implementation of specific mitigation measures, including pre-construction biological surveys, cultural resource monitoring, and a Vehicle Miles Traveled reduction program. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2025, with oversight provided by the City of Palm Springs and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
