CAPE POST OFFICE CARRIER FACILITY LEASED

905 Enterprise - Cape Girardeau, MO

The Postal Service has expanded its carrier facilities in Cape Girardeau with the leasing of an additional building at 905 Enterprise.  Tom Kelsey, commercial broker with Lorimont Place, Ltd. who handled the lease transaction said the post office leased the nearly 6,000 square foot building to alleviate overcrowding at the present processing center at 475 Kell Farm Drive.  Kelsey said it was his understanding that a number of the mail carriers would be relocated to the new facility right away.

Since January the Cape mail carriers have been operating out of the Kell Farm processing center located off Bloomfield Road.  They moved out of the 39-year-old Post Office on S. Frederick Street because of an unresolved roof problem with the landlord of the property.

Christine Corner Retail Center

Kelsey said that in March, he also handled the lease of a 5,000 square foot center for a temporary postal retail center at Christine Corner, located just off S. Kingshighway.   At that time the postal service completely moved all operations out of the S. Frederick Post Office. According to postal officials, negotiations continue between the postal service and the Frederick property landlord in regard to the roof problems at that location.  It is speculated that nothing would be resolved in the matter for several months.
