Trackside West LLC is pleased to announce that a well built, aesthetically pleasing, centrally located and practical warehouse/light industrial/flex and office space will soon be available for rental at 2706 W. 11th St. The building is just one block south of I-630, and two blocks east of Woodrow, a couple of minutes from the Interstate exit. The property is located directly on the Union Pacific right of way, on a quiet dead-end street. It has 7,463 square feet, plus an additional 800 or so square feet of “stoop to use” storage above the office. The entire interior of the building has been cleaned and repainted, except for some retained historic touches. Most of it has a new roof. The building was was built in 1945 as the home of the Arkansas Minnow Box Company, was purchased in 1953 by the Jennings family for Arkansas Sheet Metal, and was bought in June 2022 by its third owner in 77 years, the newly formed Trackside West. Trackside West is owned by Paul Dodds, the owner of Urban Frontier LLC, a prime mover behind the restoration of many homes in the Central High historic area, and resident of the neighborhood. The property is in solid shape and is no generic metal box in a nowhere spot. We don’t build like this anymore. The property is zoned I-2, and is appropriate for a wide range of uses. It has industrial electric service. It can serve well for continued non-polluting light industrial use, warehouse or retail. With its good looks, great vibe and central location, other, more creative uses are also possible. Car or truck repair use would not be welcome. At its height, Arkansas Sheet Metal had 30 employees working in the building, which served the purpose well. It has four parking spots in front of the building. A 50 x 135 foot industrial zoned lot on the next corner is available for additional parking as agreed. A vacant side yard next to the warehouse can be used for storage. The building has a large garage door facing 11th Street, and two loading bays trackside, with three garage doors and one hinged door. The office area includes two private offices, an open space with a kitchen, suitable for a reception and meeting area, a store room and a powder room. The 691 square foot office area is heated and cooled. Directly behind the office is a 142 square foot supply store room. The prior owners reported that the last break in was in the 1970’s. The front office door has a buzzer for security. All walls but the office are cinderblock, with the original metal windows. The windows are all covered with heavy metal mesh grills for security. The floor is concrete throughout and has handled heavy weight machinery for decades, with little sign of wear or damage. The original wooden deck ceilings are an attractive feature in all rooms. The southern third or so of the building contains the office, storage above the office and, around the office, plus a 1900 square foot open area with 16 foot ceilings. The prior owners used this to store a truck and two vans, plus materials. This area has access to the rest of the building through a garage door and swinging door, and to a loading bay through a garage door facing east to the tracks. The rest of the building, including 4731 square feet, includes a U-shaped room with connected south (1181 SF), west (488 SF) and north (1145 SF) sides with 10 foot high ceilings, surrounding a 1496 square foot central work room with 16 foot high ceilings and a gallery of high clerestory windows, plus a room in the northeast corner with 367 square feet. This area includes two exterior garage doors facing bays, plus a hinged door at the northern bay. It also includes two washrooms. The entire building outside the office is or will be heated with gas ceiling furnaces, but not cooled. The pictures show the place as a work in progress, with some inventory and other items that can be removed before rental. Base rent is $3.75 per square foot annually on a triple net lease, or $2332 monthly. Three year term, plus two year renewal with inflation adjustment. Insurance costs will depend on tenant use. Current taxes are $1378 annually and $5000 plug number has been put in for other costs payable by tenant in addition to base rent on a triple net lease, but this is still TBD. The platform presents these as a PSF annual amount of $.81 annually. Other terms as agreed.
