Positioned at a highly visible hard-corner intersection, this ±1.64-acre pad site offers a rare opportunity to establish a retail or office presence in one of New Mexico’s fastest-growing cities. Located at the NEC of Northern Blvd. and Edinburgh St. NE in Rio Rancho, the site benefits from strong traffic counts (11,000 CPD) and sits at the gateway to multiple new residential developments including Melon Ridge, Tierra Del Oro, and Stonegate.
The surrounding area is anchored by top-performing schools such as Rio Rancho High School, Eagle Ridge Middle School, and Stapleton Elementary, contributing to a robust daytime population and consistent consumer demand. With an average household income of $113,592 within one mile, the site is ideally suited for service-oriented retail, medical, or professional office uses.
Zoned C-1, the property allows for drive-thru configurations and other community commercial uses, making it highly flexible for a range of development concepts. Utilities are readily accessible from adjacent roads, streamlining the development timeline. The site is also strategically located near major employers including Intel Corporation and Presbyterian Rust Medical Center, both undergoing significant expansions.
Rio Rancho’s business-friendly environment, low crime rates, and high-quality public education system further enhance the appeal of this location. As retail leakage into Albuquerque exceeds $400 million annually, this site presents a compelling opportunity to capture underserved demand in a high-growth trade area.
