Featured Business Areas

What do stand-out artists, manufacturers, retailers and clean tech companies all have in common? They chose their location based on an entirely new set of criteria: a culture of creative innovation, a standard of excellence, an engaged and highly-talented workforce, and jaw-dropping sunsets.  


benicia Industrial Park & port

Solano County's largest industrial park is fast becoming a manufacturing center of excellence with a culture that supports risk, and innovation driven by a leaders mentality. BIP features over 3,000 acres of land, 7 million square feet of industrial/office space and is home to over 450 businesses. 


Neighborhood commercial

Benicia's four largest shopping centers range in size from 30,000 sq. ft to 160,000 sq. ft. They are easily accessible from I-780 and serve both local residents and the region. 


downtown waterfront

Our certified Main Street District is located along the coastline of the Carquinez Straight providing jaw-dropping sunsets. The City has invested in major improvements to preserve the historic nature of the area and a Business Improvement District ensures Downtown Benicia will continue to be a unique location for restaurants and shops.


The Arsenal 

Stemming from an unusual history, the Arsenal has continued its creative use as one of Benicia’s greatest assets. Originally opening as a military installation ordered by President Abraham Lincoln in 1849, the Arsenal has shifted in purpose from moving troops to moving minds as it now serves as an innovative artists hub.
