Costco and Sacramento developer Buzz Oates have quietly snapped up more land in Metro Air Park, tightening their grip on one of the region’s hottest industrial zones just east of Sacramento International Airport. The latest buys, reported Feb. 22, 2026, add more momentum to a yearslong push to grow Sacramento’s logistics muscle.
According to Sacramento Business Journal, property records show Costco picked up additional parcels inside Metro Air Park while Buzz Oates also expanded its holdings there. The new acquisitions build on Costco’s earlier purchase of 92 acres in the project last June, when the company filed plans for a near-million-square-foot distribution depot. That earlier sale was first reported by Sacramento Business Journal.
Costco's Depot Plan
County planning records identify a project at 7360 Metro Air Parkway titled “Costco Depot” (DRCP2024-00085). The Sacramento County planning portal shows a design-review determination was issued on Jan. 30, 2025, for the project.
The case file includes site plans, building elevations, floor plans and a trip-generation letter that spells out how vehicles and trucks are expected to access the site, according to the county’s online records.
Why Metro Air Park Keeps Growing
Developer Buzz Oates describes Metro Air Park as a fully entitled, 1,320-acre master planned business park located about one mile west of the Highway 99 interchange and close to Interstates 5 and 80. The company’s listings and project pages show multiple large industrial buildings already completed, under construction or being marketed for lease, a lineup that helps explain why national warehouse operators keep circling the area.
Buzz Oates markets the park as ready for build-to-suit or speculative logistics facilities, a positioning that local real estate coverage has framed as part of a broader industrial rebound in the Sacramento region.
What Comes Next
The Sacramento County planning portal and county property-record filings will be the key places to watch for grading and building-permit activity that would signal the start of site work for the new holdings.
Any future applications are likely to draw scrutiny for potential traffic impacts, along with attention to the logistics jobs the projects could bring, from neighborhood groups and Natomas-area officials as Metro Air Park moves into its next phase of warehouse development.
