Columbia River Strategic Site

A Prime Acreage Along the Columbia River

33± acres of prime property located in the Dallesport area of Washington, offering sweeping views of the Columbia River. Situated adjacent to major AI data centers, including Google right across the river, this acreage presents an exceptional opportunity. Public road frontage with water and sewer utilities available at the road.

Established Orchard

Approximately 17± acres are planted with an established cherry orchard.

Residential Development

Currently zoned RI and 1R (Residential Improvement), according to the Klickitat County Assessor.

The RI zoning may allow residential or phased development opportunities, whether held as an investment, developed, or repositioned for AI infrastructure. Zoning allows for one home per 10,000 square feet (subject to verification), or approximately 4.3 homes per acre. Water and sewer are on the road, which will need to be widened to develop. A buyer will need to determine what they may be able to do to develop.

Strategic Data Center Hub

Google Data Center: Just across the Columbia River, Google operates a major multi-building data center campus established in 2006, with ongoing expansions powered by hydroelectric energy and robust fiber infrastructure. A newly approved 290,000 SF facility underscores Google’s continued investment and the region’s capacity to support hyperscale growth.

Sabey Data Center: Along the river, Sabey is developing a 700,000+ SF campus with significant power capacity and build-to-suit potential, further cementing the region as a leading data center destination.

Hermiston / Umatilla County: Ongoing land annexation efforts reflect strong local support for data center expansion, positioning the area as a rising player in the Pacific Northwest’s digital infrastructure landscape.

Strategic Development Opportunities

This property is positioned among the Northwest’s growing network of AI and data infrastructure projects. The land offers power access and fiber nearby supported by surrounding data center infrastructure with elevated terrain above the river level offering strong drainage and cooling airflow. The Columbia River is one of the Pacific Northwest’s most strategic tech corridors for renewable hydropower, cooling capacity, and high capacity data transmutation routes. With Google directly across the way and another AI data center adjacent, this property represents one of the few remaining privately held parcels that may be desired for a future AI / Technology / Industrial Innovation Campuses in this area.

Current Use – The residence has been sold and is under a 30-year owner-carry agreement at $1,300 per month (including taxes), which will transfer to the buyer. There are 24 years remaining on the mortgage. The home, buildings, and the land beneath the house reverts back to the seller after 99-years (house and improvements not included in sale, but the contract of sale is). Additionally, a portion of the parcel is leased for a cherry orchard for 22% net of crop each year. This agricultural lease has 8 years remaining.
