Mather Commerce Center |
|
| BRAC announced the closure of Mather AFB in 1988 (Mather opened in 1918 as a military pilot training base) and the Air Force officially closed the 5,716-acre base and turned it over to the County in 1993. On May 5, 1995, Mather Airport opened as a civilian airport with the airport area, including runways and aprons, encompassing approximately 2,875 acres. The Sacramento County Department of Airports now owns and operates Mather Airport with its 11,200-foot jumbo runway as an air cargo and general aviation center. Airborne Express, Integrated Airline Services, and Emery Air Freight among others, already have operations at the base |
|
| The former base, now owned by the County, also includes extensive parklands, which helps to create the appearance of the modern industrial campus favored by many companies seeking new offices. In 1995, 1,434 acres on the east side of the property was set aside for the establishment of Mather Regional Park, an increasingly popular destination that boasts a top-flight public golf course. KB Homes razed the former base housing and is constructing 1,271 units of new housing on the site for sale to the public. | |
 Mather Project Area - Parcel 1 |
The adjacent main base area, now
called Mather Commerce Center, comprises some 600 acres of developed and
developable property conveniently located along the Highway 50 corridor,
Sacramento’s second-largest employment center after downtown. These
attributes already have attracted over 50 employers with over 3,800
employees to Mather Commerce Center and many more employers are
considering making a move to the property, which is bounded on the north
and west by urban development and on the east and south by undeveloped
land. McCuen Properties, LLC,
the County’s development partner at Mather, represents Mather Commerce
Center.
