I've had several unsolicited inquiries on this property and I'd rather close a deal directly than list it. Here are two paths forward — choose the one that works for you, and we can move quickly either way.
±5,000 SF metal industrial flex building on ±0.40 acres with a built-in ±2,000 SF mezzanine — roughly 7,000 SF of total usable space. The mezzanine was already constructed prior to my ownership and adds meaningful interior square footage that doesn't appear in most comparable listings or appraisal counts.
The interior is functional and serviceable as-is: full office buildout (reception, multiple private offices, kitchen, bathrooms), working electrical service, and warehouse floor with two overhead doors and existing pallet racking. Cosmetic finishes (paneling, carpet, upstairs rooms) are dated — and represent meaningful value-add opportunity for the next owner. The bones are solid; the canvas is yours.
Clear height, overhead door dimensions, power specs, and feature list available on request.
Photos 17–19 show upstairs rooms that the prior owner appears to have set up as quasi-residential space (carpeted bedrooms, full bathroom with tub). I want to be straightforward: residential use is not a permitted primary use under the property's industrial zoning, and I would not market this property as residential or live-work.
The practical paths forward for that space: (1) demolish the partition walls and reclaim it as additional storage on top of the existing office area, or (2) leave it in place and use it as office/break/storage in a zoning-compliant way. Either path is straightforward; the rooms are above the main office buildout, not over the warehouse floor.
Public records will show I acquired this property in October 2023 for $502,600. The McJunkin Road corridor has appreciated significantly since — my direct neighbor at 2526 McJunkin sold in October 2025 for $725,000 ($121/SF), and 2540 McJunkin sold in March 2025 for $2,175,000 ($132/SF). The 2024–2025 corridor delta alone supports a meaningful price increase from 2023 levels. The Comps tab walks through this in detail.
Why $800,000 is fair
Pricing is anchored to 40 qualified Polk County sales of comparable industrial buildings (3,000–12,000 SF) since January 2024 — pulled directly from the Polk Property Appraiser's office.
How $800K is built
The mezzanine is priced at roughly 46% of ground-floor value — well below standard appraisal practice (which typically counts mezzanine at 50% of ground-floor rates without discount). At a blended $114/SF, the total ask sits below the McJunkin Road corridor median. If you prefer to think of it as 5,000 SF only, $800K works out to $160/SF — at the upper end of the corridor, but defensible given the additional ±2,000 SF of built mezzanine space that comes with the property.

Methodology
Source: Polk County Property Appraiser, qualified sales database, accessed November 2025. Multi-parcel transactions consolidated by deed.
Filters applied: Qualified sales only (Sale_Qualified = Q), DOR codes 4800 / 4100 / 4816 / 4007 (small warehouse, light manufacturing, flex, industrial w/ improvements), 3,000–12,000 SF building, under 2 acres of land, $40–$300/SF (excludes obvious special situations and land-heavy parcels), 2024-01-01 forward.
What's excluded and why: Self-storage facilities (different asset class), mega-warehouse / distribution (40K+ SF, different buyer pool), buildings on 2+ acres where land dominates value, vacant industrial land, and outlier per-SF prices that signal owner-user premium deals or special amenities not present here.
Note on the corridor: The McJunkin / Combee / Holden submarket trades tighter than the broader Lakeland industrial average. Your direct neighbor at 2526 McJunkin sold in October 2025 for $725,000 ($121/SF) — that comp alone establishes the floor for this corridor.
