Northern California Commercial Facility Offers Fiber, Solar Power, and Flexible Zoning for Tech and Clean Energy Companies
A standout commercial building has just become available in Northern California, offering a rare mix of fiber connectivity, solar power, and scalable infrastructure. Located along Highway 299 in Willow Creek, this 5,400-square-foot facility is a ready-made solution for companies operating at the intersection of technology and sustainability.
Designed with purpose and flexibility in mind, the building is connected to the Arcata–Reno fiber optic trunk line, providing direct, high-speed data capabilities. It’s also equipped with a 20kW grid-tied solar system, making it an energy-conscious option for growing operations. Whether you’re in modular data, edge computing, Web3 infrastructure, or clean tech manufacturing, this property is designed to meet the most demanding requirements.
Inside, you’ll find 24-foot ceilings, full insulation, and two rooftop HVAC units, ensuring a cool, efficient, and climate-controlled environment. Power won’t be an issue either—there’s 400A service split between two 200A single-phase panels, with 3-phase power just 50 feet away.
“This is a building that makes sense for today’s most innovative companies,” said Joshua Cook, listing agent with Corcoran Icon Properties, who is co-listing the property with Wendy Granberg. “Between the connectivity, the solar setup, and the zoning flexibility, it’s an incredible foundation for businesses working at the edge of what’s possible.”
The facility also features secure, keycard-controlled entry, ADA-compliant restrooms, and a roll-up loading door, practical amenities that make daily operations easier. It’s zoned for general commercial use, opening the door for a wide range of potential applications.
Located between Arcata and Redding, the site offers both seclusion and strategic access to Northern California’s inland and coastal markets. It’s a smart move for companies seeking to expand beyond high-cost metropolitan areas while maintaining top-tier infrastructure.

$1.299M Arcata Listing Reflects Rising Demand for Design-Forward, Energy-Efficient Homes in Humboldt County
A newly listed property in Arcata is turning heads for both its price and its unique blend of architectural charm and energy-efficient features. Priced at $1,299,000, the home at 422 Shirley Boulevard stands out in the Humboldt County market and may be indicative of a broader trend toward higher-end housing in the region.
Listed by Tom Hunt and Zach Levich of Corcoran Icon Properties, this five-bedroom, three-bath home offers nearly 4,200 square feet of living space, including a spacious accessory dwelling unit (ADU). It features classic mid-century design elements with modern updates, including solar power and an energy-efficient mini-split HVAC system. Located in a quiet hillside neighborhood, the home offers privacy, spaciousness, and proximity to both downtown Arcata and Cal Poly Humboldt.
“This home is rare for Arcata,” said Hunt. “It’s large, well-designed, completely move-in ready, and in a location that offers the best access and tranquility.”
While the $1.299 million price tag is high for the area, it reflects increasing buyer demand in Humboldt County, particularly among those relocating from other parts of California. The region’s natural beauty, cooler climate, and quality of life continue to attract remote workers, academics, and environmentally minded buyers seeking more space and a slower pace.
“More buyers today are looking for homes that align with their values,” said Levich. “This home offers quality, sustainability, and character, which is exactly what many of our clients are asking for.”
The home’s location near Cal Poly Humboldt adds to its appeal. While not student housing, it presents an attractive option for university faculty and professionals who want convenient access to campus while enjoying a private, high-end living environment.
“This price reflects both the home itself and what we’re seeing in the broader market,” Hunt said. “Arcata is evolving, and this listing is one sign of what’s coming next.”
For more information about the listing, reach out to Tom Hunt at 707.599.4190 or tom.hunt@corcoranicon.com, or contact Zach Levich at 530.908.5373 or zach.levich@corcoranicon.com.
From Home to Next Chapter: DiMaggio Betta Group & Moving Angels Guide Baby Boomers Through Life’s Big Transition
As more Baby Boomers begin planning their next stage of life, two local professionals have partnered to provide guidance, resources, and support for those navigating the transition into senior living, downsizing, or relocating.
Debbi DiMaggio, a real estate advisor with The DiMaggio Betta Group at Corcoran Icon Properties, has joined forces with Kimberly Sweeney, founder of the senior move management company Moving Angels, to launch SeniorsNextChapter.com. The platform and accompanying event series are designed to help older adults and their families make informed, thoughtful decisions about what comes next.
“Selling a home or moving in your later years isn’t just a real estate transaction, it’s deeply personal,” said DiMaggio. “Seniors Next Chapter brings together people who genuinely care, with the knowledge to help clients navigate these decisions with clarity and confidence.”
To kick off this initiative, DiMaggio and Sweeney are hosting an in-person event:
Seniors Next Chapter: Navigating Life Transitions
Date: May 10, 2025
Time: 11:30am
Location: Corcoran Icon Properties, 342 Highland Ave, Piedmont, 94611
Details: This event will feature expert panelists discussing topics such as downsizing, relocating, and transitioning into senior living. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and connect with professionals who specialize in supporting seniors through these life changes.
Registration: seniorsnextchapter.com
The initiative connects users with experienced professionals in a variety of fields—from elder care and estate planning to real estate, organizing, and home modification. The mission is to reduce stress, increase access to trusted information, and support seniors in crafting transitions that align with their values and lifestyle goals.
This effort comes at a crucial time. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans aged 85 and older is projected to more than double by 2040, surpassing 12 million.¹
A few key trends shaping the landscape include:
Aging in Place: A 2021 AARP survey found that 77% of adults over 50 want to remain in their homes as they age.²
Lifestyle Priorities: Boomers are seeking vibrant communities and independence over traditional care settings, according to the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care.³
Financial Pressures: A recent report by Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies highlights the growing affordability gap for seniors as housing and care costs rise.⁴
“We’re building a community around this experience—one that’s collaborative, compassionate, and clear,” said Sweeney. “Whether someone is ready to move now or simply wants to start thinking about the future, we’re here to help.”
Families can also access support through statewide resources like the California Department of Aging and local Area Agencies on Aging.⁵

Larkspur Home Sells for $1M Over Asking in Just 7 Days
In one of Larkspur’s most desirable neighborhoods, a 2019-built home sold for $5.3 million—coming in $1 million over asking—after generating nine offers and closing all-cash in just seven days. The sale, represented by Holly Welch of Corcoran Icon Properties’ Greenbrae office, achieved over $2,000 per square foot, a remarkable price point for the area.
The sellers, recent empty nesters ready to begin their next chapter, turned to Welch for her market expertise, strategic insight, and hands-on approach. Together, they brought the property to market with thoughtful preparation and a few creative touches that helped it stand out.
“We knew the garden was a showstopper, but it hadn’t fully bloomed when we listed,” said Welch. “So we enlarged past-season photos of the garden and placed them on easels throughout the home. It allowed buyers to envision the space in full bloom—and that personal detail made an impression.”
With a smart pricing strategy, premium marketing, and carefully managed private showings, the home attracted strong interest right out of the gate. Within days, nine serious buyers emerged, leading to an all-cash offer and a seamless one-week close.
Highlights of the Sale:
- 9 competitive offers
- $5.3M final sale price (listed at $4.25M)
- Over $2,000 per square foot
- All-cash, 7-day close
“This was a win-win for everyone involved,” added Welch. “It’s a great example of what’s possible with the right timing, preparation, and a customized strategy.”
