500-Bed Turnkey Custody Facility | Approximately $20,000 Per Bed | 60 to 90 Day Reactivation Timeline
The Claremont Custody Center is a 500-bed turnkey institutional facility positioned for 60 to 90 day reactivation. Priced at $9,999,000, the offering represents approximately $20,000 per bed, a fraction of new-build correctional construction costs which typically range from $150,000 to $300,000+ per bed and require 3 to 5 years to deliver.
Set on 21.2 acres in Coalinga, California, the 76,650 SF facility was purpose-built with concrete block and steel construction and includes secured corridors, barracks-style housing, guard stations, perimeter fencing, gatehouses, controlled-access circulation, full fire sprinklers and alarms, upgraded electrical, and improved HVAC. The site sits on a large mid-block parcel buffered from residential areas, zoned MBL for institutional and light manufacturing use.
The property is well-suited for federal custody contractors, state and county overflow capacity, ICE service providers, behavioral health and DSH-adjacent operations, secure treatment programs, workforce housing for correctional or industrial users, and adaptive reuse for specialized industrial operations including cannabis manufacturing (most recent prior use).
Centrally located within California, minutes from Interstate 5, with proximity to Pleasant Valley State Prison and Coalinga State Hospital within an established institutional corridor.
