±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 the county's building area.

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.

On corridor appreciation

Public records will show I acquired this property in October 2023 for $502,600. McJunkin Road 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 comps below walk through this in detail.

On the upstairs rooms (zoning note)

The upstairs rooms that the prior owner appears to have set up as quasi-residential space (carpeted bedrooms, full bathroom with tub) need a straight note: 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.

† The total includes the ±2,000 SF built mezzanine, which is not in the county building area.

Pricing

Why comps support $800,000 pricing

Pricing is anchored to 44 qualified Polk County sales of comparable industrial buildings (3,000–12,000 SF) since January 2024 — pulled directly from the Polk County Property Appraiser's sales data.

How $800K is built

Component	Sq Ft	$/SF	Value
Ground floor warehouse / flex	5,000	$135	$675,000
Built-in mezzanine (discounted)	2,000	$62.50	$125,000
Total asking	7,000^†	$114	$800,000

The mezzanine is priced at roughly 46% of the ground-floor rate. At a blended $114/SF, the ask sits above the county-wide median for small industrial buildings and below both recent McJunkin Road sales ($121 and $132/SF). If you prefer to think of it as 5,000 SF only, $800K works out to $160/SF — above those two sales, and the difference is the ±2,000 SF of built mezzanine and the finished office that come with the property.

The property is held in a land trust. If keeping a name off a recorded deed matters, ask about transferring the beneficial interest instead of a deed into a new owner’s name. That is a conversation, not a guarantee the transfer stays off the property appraiser.
