Social Security Office, Retail Development Stir Solano County City

FAIRFIELD, CA-Vacancies are common along Texas Street in the central business district here, and construction levels are relatively low, except for one hillside in town.

FAIRFIELD, CA-Though considered a Bay Area city, this town, an hour east of San Francisco, does not outwardly reflect its booming economic success. Vacancies are common along Texas Street, the central business district, apartments and office space are still relatively affordable and construction levels are comparatively low. Except for one hillside.

Ground was broken recently on a previously undeveloped slope on the northeast corner of Hilborn and Martin Roads, where a new Social Security office is being built. Not too far away, a 120,000-sf office complex is proposed. County planners began reviewing a preliminary design for the project, which is being marketed by Colliers International.

As San Francisco and the Silicon Valley price more and more businesses out of the market, Fairfield hopes to become a boomtown for lower-cost office development along with many other cities on the fringe of the megalopolis.
