Property Description:

The property consists of 11.6 acres allowing plenty of room for large trucks and vehicles to maneuver around as needed. The buildings were all built in the late 1970s and early 1980s and is the former home of the precast concrete manufacturing company, Waffle-Crete. Utilities available on the property include electricity, gas, propane, well water, and septic. Natural gas is connected to all of the buildings except the far west building, which is currently generated by propane. Loading docks are located off the southwest corner of the main warehouse building. These buildings, and more specifically, the warehouse buildings are constructed to support high electrical loads.

All of the buildings have concrete roofs and Waffle Crete tilt-up concrete panel construction side walls. There is a 25 year warranty on all of the roofs except one which is a 10 year warranty. The roof on the main office building was recently replaced in December of 2021. All 3 main buildings have poured concrete footings, foundation, and floors. They are sturdy and built to last! 

The main office consists of 10 private office spaces and a conference room along with shop space located on the lower level. Located in the third warehouse building are two Craneway 10 ton overhead cranes/electric hoists (6 phase 460 volt) that have a 300 ft. span north to south. This same building consists of 19,258 square feet with two large overhead doors, large sliding doors, and three additional bays off the east end with drainage. With 12 natural gas overhead heaters throughout and a commercial grade ventilation fan, the warehouse is comfortable to work in all year round.

The Union Pacific Railroad runs to the south of the property and they are willing to split costs of construction of a shoe to run directly behind the property.

Property sells with various items including: tools, saws, concrete forms, office supplies, and equipment. Available for purchase or lease.
