A New Frontier of Possibility on Volcano Road
Located at 9705 Volcano Rd. NW in northwest Albuquerque, this strategically positioned ±5-acre parcel represents a rare opportunity in a growing and evolving community — where retail, multifamily residential, industrial uses, and service-oriented developments are converging to redefine the area’s urban landscape.
Sitting just east of 98th Street NW with utilities in the street and full access already established, this flat, well-located site has the flexibility to support industrial, multifamily, storage, or mixed-use development following due diligence and market analysis.
The parcel is part of a broader growth area that has seen new retail brands and service uses locate nearby, creating increased traffic, visibility, and consumer demand that benefit future development on Volcano Road. Recent planning activity includes zoning amendments allowing non-residential commercial uses, signaling municipal support for transformation and reinvestment.
Positioned in a Trade Area on the Rise
Surrounded by a heavily trafficked retail corridor, this neighborhood benefits from strong automotive visibility and access, with nearby national retailers drawing customers from across the west side of Albuquerque and beyond. 98th Street NW, which connects directly to Interstate-40, places the site within a well-connected transportation network — essential for industrial and commercial logistics, institutional access, and community mobility.
Close proximity to established residential communities underscores rising demand for housing and supporting services, while the lack of competing land parcels of this scale makes 9705 Volcano Rd one of the most compelling development options on Albuquerque’s west side.
Flexible Uses Backed by Market Demand
The development potential here is broad:
Industrial / Warehouse: with excellent regional access and flat topography suited for distribution, manufacturing, or contractor yard uses.
Multifamily Residential: positioned in an underserved area for new housing and within easy reach of retail and service amenities.
Storage / Service Facility: a growing use type that is well supported by adjacent residential and commercial demand.
All of these are supported by the site’s location, infrastructure, and surrounding traffic patterns.
A Neighborhood in Motion
What was once a low-density fringe area is now part of a larger development tapestry that includes retail expansion, commercial infill, and strategic planning by local authorities to promote balanced growth. The broader Volcano Heights development framework north of this corridor emphasizes infrastructure, connectivity, and long-term community investment, reinforcing the appeal of developing here for uses that serve both local residents and regional markets.
The Opportunity
9705 Volcano Rd. NW isn’t just land — it’s a canvas for tomorrow’s market-driven development. Whether the outcome is industrial space, multifamily housing, storage solutions, or a combination of uses, this location represents one of the few large, accessible, and adaptable development sites left on Albuquerque’s west side.
