Constructed in 2011, the Property consists of a one-story, free-standing commercial building totaling ±9,092 gross square feet situated on a ±1.88-acre (±82,036 SF) parcel with 38 surface parking spaces. The site benefits from excellent visibility and accessibility via a single curb cut and frontage along both 280th Street and U.S. Highway 61 (Blues Highway) with ±7,034 VPD. Formerly occupied by Dollar General under a triple net (NNN) lease, the Property is fully built out for retail use and presents an attractive opportunity for owner occupancy, lease-up, adaptive reuse, or repositioning at market rental rates (CoStar estimated retail rents of $8-12 PSF).
