Industrial Outdoor Storage: Why Has Demand Skyrocketed?
As reported by PR Newswire
Affiliates of Phoenix Investors (“Phoenix”), a national private commercial real estate firm headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, announced the acquisition of a multi-tenant flex building in Waseca, Minnesota. This acquisition expands Phoenix’s footprint to 23 states. Phoenix will be implementing a capital improvement plan to reinvigorate the space for new users. Currently, the property offers approximately 110,000 square feet of space available for lease.
The city of Waseca is centrally located at the crossroads of major highways and a short commute from the Twin Cities, making it a hub for manufacturing and transportation. Located at 229 Johnson Avenue SW in Waseca, MN, the subject property can support numerous uses and configurations. The facility spans 248,291 square feet and sits on 19.72 acres with surrounding paved parking and undeveloped land to the south. The building’s size, location, and layout make it ideal for tenant types such as office, warehousing, or storage. The space can also be repurposed for varied uses like daycare, mini storage, or office space alongside its industrial capabilities.
“We are thrilled to enter the Minnesota industrial market with our acquisition in Waseca,” said Frank Crivello, Chairman and Founder of Phoenix. “We are confident that our capital improvement plans will make this facility an even greater asset to the tenants, the community, and its residents.”
“We expect this to be the first of many new acquisitions in Minnesota,” said David Marks, President & CEO of Phoenix. “We are studying existing and ground-up industrial opportunities across the state as well.”
The transaction was brokered by Dave Schooff of Coldwell Banker Commercial Fisher Group.
