The five‑acre development spans the entire block from 23rd Avenue to 22nd Avenue, and will be surrounded on all three street‑sides by a deep, landscaped setback. East of the16,000‑square‑foot, the smaller buildings will cluster in two blocks: six of them paired side by side and lined up in a row three‑deep from the street, filling what is roughly the middle third of the property, and the other four spread to fill the four corners of the remaining third of the parcel.

Four driveways will offer access to the buildings: one each on 23rd and 22nd Avenues, and two on Whispering Wind. The site plan, however, effectively splits Whispering Wind Business Park into two parts, each served by two driveways. Developers Saddleback & Associates anticipate more commercial showroom use for the western half and more industrial use for the eastern. The dividing line, stretching the full depth of the project, from where the front two buildings will abut the street‑side setback to where the rear two buildings will abut the property line, will be marked between the pairs of buildings by a painted tube‑steel fence.

Each of the seven buildings on the eastern, industrial part of Whispering Wind Business Park will have its own yard, affording each site the opportunity to have secured parking, storage and loading space–a signature of the California‑based developers. In some cases, the yards are designed to be private. In others, yards will lie between two buildings to be shared by them. Some of the parking here will be in the yard area and some along another side of the building, with 2.33 spaces per 1,000 square feet of space designed for each building.

The commercial half of the project is designed with more parking for the units–3.37 spaces per 1,000 square feet–rather than storage yards, although some of the parking areas can be gated off into private yard areas.

All buildings are single‑story, with clear height of 12 feet on the large building and 16 feet on the smaller ones. The 16,000‑square‑foot building is available as a shell that can be configured to any combination of individual, adjacent spaces. All other buildings will include 25 percent build‑out of office space, consisting of three walled offices, reception and kitchen areas, and a bathroom.

Saddleback’s purchase of the property closed this past July, and the project’s completion date is expected to be the end of July next year. Businesses that have already expressed interest in space include a hair salon, an insurance agent, along with plumbing and construction companies.

Space at Whispering Wind Business Park is offered for sale, but the developers will entertain leasing, according to Brent Gordon at Colliers Classic, which represents the project for Saddleback & Associates.
