Redding Development Land | 11050 Campers Ct, Redding, CA | 17.00 Acres | $565,000
Kidder Mathews is pleased to present an exceptional ground-up residential development opportunity in north Redding, California. This 17-acre infill parcel is zoned RM-9 (Residential Multiple Family) and strategically positioned near the I-5 and Highway 299 interchange — one of the city's primary commercial corridors — offering outstanding freeway access and proximity to established retail, dining, healthcare, and everyday services.
ZONING & DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
The RM-9 designation supports a maximum density of nine dwelling units per acre, allowing for a broad range of residential product types including apartments, townhomes, condominiums, cluster developments, and manufactured home communities (MHC, subject to use permit approval). Development standards permit buildings up to 35 feet (2.5 stories) with standard setbacks of 20 feet front and rear, 10 feet interior side, and 15 feet street side. The site's flexibility is a meaningful advantage — a developer or operator is not locked into a single product type and can adapt to market conditions during the entitlement process.
A tentative map for approximately 50 manufactured home spaces received prior City of Redding approval in 2008, providing established precedent for MHC development viability on this site. The City has confirmed that a manufactured home community is a permissible use under RM-9 zoning with approval of a use permit, making this one of the more clearly defined ground-up MHC opportunities in Northern California's inland markets.
SITE ATTRIBUTES
The parcel spans 17.00 acres with a 1.5-acre on-site pond that adds a natural amenity element suitable for community branding and resident experience. The surrounding neighborhood is comprised of established residential development, meaning area infrastructure is already in place — a practical advantage that reduces uncertainty in project planning and pre-development timelines. Access is via Campers Court, with direct connectivity to I-5 and Highway 299.
MARKET FUNDAMENTALS
Redding serves as the economic and healthcare hub of far Northern California. The city's institutional employer base — anchored by Mercy Medical Center, Shasta Regional Medical Center, Shasta County, and Shasta College — collectively supports thousands of stable, workforce-level jobs and underpins consistent demand for attainable housing across income levels. Multifamily vacancy rates in the Redding market have remained near 2%, and the City's 2045 General Plan identifies a need for approximately 1,400–1,600 additional housing units over the coming years.
Redding's median home prices have historically tracked in the mid-$300,000s to low-$500,000s — substantially below the statewide median, which has frequently exceeded $800,000. That affordability gap continues to drive in-migration from higher-cost coastal markets, attracting the retirees, remote workers, and workforce households who represent the core demand base for MHC and attainable multifamily product. With nearly 300 sunny days per year and proximity to Shasta Lake, Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, and Lassen Volcanic National Park, Redding offers a lifestyle proposition that is increasingly resonating with value-conscious California households.
PRICING
At $565,000 ($33,235/acre), the land basis is a modest component of any project budget and leaves meaningful room for development economics to work across a range of product types and capital structures. For MHC operators and multifamily developers evaluating Northern California opportunities, this parcel represents an attainable entry point in a supply-constrained market with genuine, measurable housing demand.
