Description

Ideally situated in a high-traffic location on Route 9 in Bloomington, Illinois, near Central Illinois Regional Airport and surrounded by other anchor businesses, this striking brick and steel post frame property at 24011/2 East Empire Street offers 1.26 acres of versatile commercial space, built with high-quality infrastructure and beautifully finished with masonry exterior walls and thoughtful insulation throughout. The expansive 10,000 square foot showroom boasts soaring ceilings reaching up to 16 feet, bathed in open, airy sight lines thanks to its generous 26-foot column spacing - a canvas ready for any retail vision. Beyond the fire wall lies a true workhorse: a 6,500 square foot warehouse with a 1,400 square foot mezzanine and towering 20 to 22 foot clearances, comforted by radiant floor heating and served by both a grand overhead door and a dedicated dock door for seamless logistics. Power is robust throughout, with 208-volt single-phase service, three 200-amp boxes, plus an additional 125-amp service in the showroom. Mechanical systems include six rooftop HVAC units, radiant tube heating in the warehouse, and a dedicated furnace and air conditioning system for the offices. The warehouse also features an explosion-proof draining system with an oil separator, ventilation fans with air exchange and damper, and a three-hour fire-rated wall separating the showroom from the warehouse. Add nearly 3,000 square feet of flexible office and storage space, secure storage with racking, and an eye-catching LED sign out front on Empire Street. With ample parking and a highly visible location boasting strong traffic counts, this is a rare, turnkey opportunity suited to retail, showroom, light industrial, or distribution use - zoned B1, built in 2002, offered at $2.2 million.
