BUSINESS ADVANTAGES

eureka — the best
place for your business

retail opportunities

Beautiful 1850s architecture on the Humboldt Bay with high pedestrian traffic and heavily-traveled, signaled intersections can be found in Old Town and Downtown Eureka. If you want to be in the ‘fast lane’ with major retailers, then take a trip down Broadway (Highway 101) with traffic counts averaging over 44,000 vehicles per day. The City of Eureka’s household income is over $43,000 with a county-wide population of nearly 135,000.

office locations

Enjoy a large range of opportunities from 1-hour business incubators to 20,000 square feet for your large company. Walk from your Old Town and Downtown offices to the Humboldt County Courthouse and a variety of restaurants, services, and shopping, or opt for a vibrant neighborhood feel in friendly Henderson Center. Nearly 700,000 square feet of office space is available in the city, with approximately 10% vacancy.

cannabis Friendly

Located in the heart of the Emerald Triangle, the City of Eureka is the largest city in the region and is fast becoming an important Northern California hub for cannabis manufacturing and distribution. Eureka does not have a cannabis tax. Instead, we charge flat license fees for cannabis businesses with no additional taxes charged by the City, and we have dedicated staff available to help cannabis businesses through the local licensing process.

industrial warehousing
and storage

The industrial warehousing and storage sector has over 500,000 square feet of buildings to help entrepreneurs and businesses bring their ideas to the table, produce products, store them, and finally distribute goods. A number of zoning districts allow manufacturing and industrial warehousing creating high demand with less than 3% vacancy rate.
