I would like to introduce myself and the "3rd Fastest Growing Metropolitan Area in the United States" to you! Yuma, Arizona is primed for continued growth in the next decade!

Principal economic factors and trends that drive the economy of Yuma are Retail Sales, Manufacturing, Agriculture, Tourism and Industrial Development. Retail Sales have risen steadily and are currently estimated at $1.5 Billion. Retail Sales are increasing at a 6.8% yearly rate growth. Yuma's population has grown at a 5+% rate annually since the 1990 census. These factors suggest that Yuma County's economy is strong and will continue in the upcoming decade.

Opportunity is knocking ...

The City of Yuma has recently annexed twelve new sections, which are in dire need of retail facilities due to the immediate population of 30,000 residents and traffic counts of 35,000 per day! Stores like Staples, Home Depot, LOWES, Dillards, Sav-On and Office Depot have already positioned themselves right in the heart of this next "hotspot". Another great add on to City of Yuma is the The Yuma Palms Regional Center which is 1,000,000 square feet of department and specialty stores, restaurants and entertainment, as well as walkways, plazas and gathering areas to invite social interaction. Yuma Palms has made home for additional retailers such as Ross, Petsmart, Circuit City, Best Buy and the Harkins Theater.

Sound Interesting?

If so, I would be happy to talk with you about the great opportunities here in Yuma! I own several large commercial sites personally and represent many different clients in numerous areas of commercial real estate transactions!

Please take a minute to look at the information throughout the Web site. I think you will be impressed!
