Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present a vacant, free-standing retail building located at 910 North Jefferson Street (Hwy 68) in Saint James, Phelps County, Missouri (the “Property”). Formerly occupied by Dollar General, the Property is being offered significantly below replacement cost, providing an excellent opportunity for owner/users or investors to acquire a highly visible commercial property with highway frontage at a significant discount. FIRST BID MEETS RESERVE!
Built in 1999, the Property features a one-story, free-standing retail building totaling ±8,000 gross square feet, situated on a ±1.46-acre parcel (±63,580 SF) with 25 total surface parking spaces. Positioned at a signalized intersection, the site offers excellent accessibility via one dedicated ingress/egress curb cut and prime frontage on N Jefferson Street (Hwy 68), ensuring steady consumer traffic and strong visibility. The Property was previously occupied by Dollar General on a NNN lease, presenting an outstanding value-add opportunity for owner-users or investors to reposition and lease-up at long-term market rates (Costar estimated retail rents $13-16/sf NNN). Zoned “B-1” Neighborhood Business District, the Property allows for a variety of commercial uses, providing flexibility for redevelopment or alternative tenant types.
The Property is located in Saint James, Missouri, a growing community in Phelps County, strategically positioned along Interstate 44, offering prime visibility and seamless access to regional markets.
