Lease the whole site, or one zone of it
The lot runs deep off the highway, so it divides into three. One entrance serves every zone through a shared internal drive, and the rate is the same whether you take one zone or all of it. Every lease runs a five year minimum term.
All ten acres, one tenant
Three buildings and the full yard under a single operator. The buildings are linked by underground conduit and fiber optics, so the site already runs as one integrated operation rather than three separate ones. Suited to a trucking or logistics business, or to anyone who wants the whole property to themselves.

Before you ask
Can I lease just one building?
Yes. The site is offered whole or as three zones, each built around one building: the office on the highway, the repair shop with the main yard, and the rear warehouse. The rate and the five year minimum term are the same either way.
What would the rent be per month?
At $8.63/SF/yr, the whole site works out to roughly $25,000 a month. By zone, approximately $6,000 for the office, $13,200 for the repair shop and $5,400 for the rear warehouse. These are estimates, before NNN charges.
What does NNN mean here?
The tenant pays property taxes, insurance and maintenance on top of the base rent, along with their own utilities.
What power is available?
The repair shop has 600 amp, 240V three phase service with a 27 kVA step-up transformer to 480V. The office has 400 amp, 240V three phase service and a full backup industrial generator.
Is there support for trucks parked overnight in winter?
Yes. Nine outdoor electrical hookups for truck cab heaters run along the north wall of the shop.
Are there sleeping quarters on site?
Training and sleeping quarters are in two buildings: a two-story block inside the repair shop, and a further set in the office building.
How is the site zoned?
M-1 light industrial. The site is in unincorporated Coolspring Township, LaPorte County, with a Michigan City address, so confirm your intended use with LaPorte County.
What about sewer and data?
The site has its own industrial sanitary sewer storage system, with a lift pump into the municipal system. The three buildings are connected by underground conduit and fiber optics.
Is the property for sale as well as for lease?
Yes. It is offered for sale at $3,800,000 and for lease, whole or by zone, at the same time.
