Riverview Market Commercial Project

The Riverview Marketplace Commercial Project is a 405,531-square-foot retail development located on a 46-acre site in northwest Bakersfield, California, at the intersection of Rosedale Highway and Coffee Road. The project includes a mix of anchor tenants such as markets, a health club, and storage facilities, alongside smaller retail pads, medical offices, drive-thrus, fast-casual and sit-down restaurants, a car wash, and a gas station with 20 dual-sided pumps. Extensive site improvements are planned, including vehicular and pedestrian circulation systems, surface parking, drive aisles, landscaping, hardscaping, lighting, green spaces, and comprehensive infrastructure and utility upgrades. Construction is expected to last approximately 20 months, beginning in early 2026 and concluding in 2027. The project is being led by Coffee Road Ventures, LLC, with DJM Capital Partners as the applicant, and is overseen by the City of Bakersfield as the lead agency. Environmental compliance is a central requirement, governed by the California Environmental Quality Act and the California Endangered Species Act, with mandatory mitigation measures established by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. These include 50-foot no-disturbance buffers around dens of endangered species such as the San Joaquin kit fox, Burrowing Owl, and Swainson’s Hawk, as well as seasonal construction restrictions from February 1 to September 15 to protect nesting wildlife. Biological surveys must be completed prior to ground-disturbing activities, and all findings reported through the California Natural Diversity Database. Cultural resource protections under AB 52 and tribal consultation protocols are also required, with adherence to standards for survey methodology and habitat preservation. While project-specific details such as tenant leases, construction costs, and contract value are not disclosed, the lead contact for planning and environmental coordination is Ashley Knight, Assistant Planner with the City of Bakersfield, and all regulatory approvals and site inspections are conducted locally at the project address in Bakersfield, CA 93312. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, contracting officer representatives, invoicing protocols, or pricing terms are specified, indicating this is a municipally managed commercial development with primary focus on environmental and land-use compliance rather than federal procurement procedures.
