From The Air

See the corner from above. Parcel, transit hub, and the freeway.

The red boundary marks 2.46 acres of C2 commercial dirt. The frames below pull back through the interchange, the new BFT transfer station next door, and the Queensgate roundabout that feeds it.

Tight aerial of the 691 Windmill Rd parcel showing the existing red building, surrounding gravel and brush, and the Yakima River basin in the distance behind the Horse Heaven Hills — From above, the parcel reads as a clean rectangle off the freeway. A red outbuilding marks the existing footprint.

The Neighbor

Bus dwell, rider footfall, public investment. The corner anchors itself.

Aerial showing the Queensgate roundabout, the new Ben Franklin Transit transfer station beside the parcel, and the Columbia River with surrounding suburban Richland in the background — The neighbor: BFT's new Transfer Station, immediately east of the parcel line.

Aerial showing the parcel outlined in red against the Queensgate freeway interchange, with the Horse Heaven Hills and Richland retail corridor visible in the background — Highway 240 traffic decants into Queensgate. The retail spine sits behind.

Wide aerial of the Queensgate corridor with the parcel boundary visible, the BFT transit station, the roundabout, and Richland's residential neighborhoods extending into the distance — Pulled back: roundabout, transit station, parcel, and the residential edge of Richland beyond.

The MLS Line On This Corner

The Parcel

A C2 corner the city is already growing toward.

The full MLS write-up reads almost like a real estate koan: Location, Location, Location. This 2.46 acres next to the new BFT Transfer Station off Queensgate is perfect for your new location. Read it carefully and the point is hard to miss. The dirt itself is unremarkable. The corner it sits on is not.

Zoned C2 commercial, with frontage along Windmill Road and a view straight onto the Queensgate interchange, the parcel reads from the air as a square of opportunity that the rest of Richland's recent growth has already routed itself around. The new Ben Franklin Transit Transfer Station went in next door. The roundabout that feeds Queensgate Drive sits one parcel west. Bookwalter Winery, a regional destination, is a short walk down the street.

For a developer with a use case, the question is not whether anyone will see the building. It is what to build for the traffic that already passes. Retail pad. Quick-service food. Office condos. Storage. A site visit is the way to scope the lot lines, the utilities, the access easements, and the rest.

The Zoning

Richland's general commercial classification. Retail, office, food service, and a wide list of permitted uses. Confirm specifics with City of Richland Planning.

The Neighbor

Bookwalter, A Walk Away

A regional wine destination down the street, plus the rest of the Queensgate retail spine immediately beyond.

The Details

Why this corner.

C2 Commercial Zoning

Richland's general commercial designation. A broad list of permitted uses across retail, office, and service. The flexibility most developers want at the front of due diligence.

High Traffic Count

Daily flow off the Queensgate interchange and the roundabout feeding the corridor. The kind of visibility a site cannot be retrofitted into.

Next Door To BFT

The new Ben Franklin Transit Transfer Station is the direct east neighbor. Bus dwell, rider footfall, and the kind of public investment that anchors a corner for the long term.

The Queensgate Corridor

Bookwalter Winery, the Queensgate retail spine, and the Highway 240 connection are all within a one-mile arc. The corridor where Richland's recent commercial growth has clustered.

Frontage On Windmill

Roadside frontage along Windmill Road, with the parcel reading as a clean rectangle from the air. Lot dimensions and access points to be confirmed at site visit.

The Corner

Queensgate, as the city now lives it.

Queensgate Drive is where Richland's last decade of commercial growth has clustered. Anchored by the Highway 240 interchange and the new transit station, the corridor strings together Bookwalter Winery, a working retail spine, and the residential edge of West Richland beyond.

The Yakima and Columbia rivers cradle the western edge of the parcel's basin view. Tri-Cities Airport is a fifteen-minute drive. The site sits inside the city's most-watched commercial growth zone for the next decade.
