Juniper Ridge Development Opportunity:
On Dec. 6, 2023, the Bend City Council declared approximately 200 acres within the Juniper Ridge Overlay Zone as surplus and directed staff to offer the properties for sale through a competitive bid/request for proposal (RFP) process to promote new infrastructure development and future commercial and industrial uses.
The Juniper Ridge Overlay Zone is an area designated for the purpose of promoting economical, sustainable, and reasonable growth, that encourage employment based commercial and industrial uses consistent with the 2016 Bend Comprehensive Plan. New development in the Overlay Zone is intended to attract and retain targeted employment sectors that are projected to grow; and continue to move toward a more diversified economy that provides professional services, high-skilled manufacturing, high-tech, and other higher than median wage jobs.
