What does the Bakersfield commercial real estate market look like?
Bakersfield's CRE market is uniquely tied to California's oil and gas industry, with Kern County producing roughly 70% of the state's crude oil output, supporting a network of industrial service companies and related office demand. The Rosedale Highway corridor in northwest Bakersfield is the primary commercial growth area with newer retail and office developments, while the Ming Avenue corridor and the California Avenue district near Bakersfield College serve as established commercial nodes. Industrial demand extends along Highway 99 and Lerdo Highway, where food processing, agriculture logistics, and energy services converge. The metro has attracted growing attention from logistics operators seeking affordable alternatives to the congested Inland Empire market.
Key Economic Drivers
- ●Kern County oil and gas production and energy services companies (Chevron, Berry Petroleum)
- ●Agricultural shipping, cold storage, and food processing (Grimmway Farms, Bolthouse Farms)
- ●Meadows Field Airport and Highway 99 logistics corridor
- ●Kern Medical Center and Adventist Health Bakersfield hospital campuses
Market Insight
Bakersfield offers some of the lowest commercial land costs among California metros, with industrial land pricing at a fraction of Inland Empire rates, making it increasingly attractive for build-to-suit distribution and food processing facilities.
