FORMER PARTS DISTRIBUTION BUILDING ON THE MARKET IN CAPE

The former Jim Wilson Company distribution warehouse located at 2007 Southern Expressway in Cape Girardeau and one of the larger industrial facilities in the region has been listed with Lorimont Place, Ltd. according to Tom Kelsey, broker with the Cape Girardeau based commercial brokerage firm.

The 94,000 square foot warehouse/office building set on 5.49 acres in the Six Thirty Industrial Park is being marketed either for sale or lease.  Built in 1999 the property housed the regional parts and tire distributor that ceased operations just recently.

The property features 8,990 square feet of offices, parts showroom and has a separate truck shop facility.  It’s close proximity to Interstate 55, Cape Regional Airport, two major railroads and Southeast Missouri Port Authority put it in a viable location for a variety of users. 

Kelsey said the building was constructed to be expandable and adjacent land in the industrial park is also available. The property with all city services and zoning for manufacturing or distribution will be marketed regionally and nationally targeting manufacturers, warehouse operators, distribution companies and others.

The Lorimont firm will also be working with state, regional and local industrial recruitment agencies including Mitch Robinson, who heads up the local Cape Girardeau Area Industrial Recruitment Association in their search for either a purchaser or tenant.  With the sale or lease of such a large facility the prospects for new jobs will be very likely.

Kelsey has been successful in marketing and selling several other larger area commercial properties in recent times including the former Florsheim Shoe factory, R& M Coco Fabrics 21 building, Harris Truck & Trailer property, and the Lorimont office park development.
