This property’s 579,000 SF warehouse/office hybrid was originally developed and is recognized as the former home of the Courier Journal newspaper production facility. This complex now offers a standalone 7.5-acre parcel with immense flexibility.
Situated in the heart of Louisville’s Central Business District, the Courier Journal property represents one of the most significant redevelopment opportunities in the city—an iconic Broadway assemblage positioned near $1.1 billion in planned projects across the CBD. This site is structurally and strategically poised for the future. Note: This building will be effectively vacant starting in October 2025.
Spanning over 579,000 square feet, including 98,140 SF of lower-level space, the property offers a rare combination of scale, flexibility, and structural integrity. The art deco former office building provides a robust physical infrastructure, offering a solid foundation for conversion to a range of adaptive reuses, while the adjoining warehouse areas can continue to serve industrial needs or be redeveloped for alternate functions. Thanks to its flexible zoning, strategic location, and massive floorplates, the property is ideally suited for repurposing into a wide range of high-value uses, including:
• Data Center – Supported by Tier 2-compatible architecture and extraordinary electric capacity
• Film Production Studio – A proven on-camera location within a state offering up to 35% in refundable tax credits
• Advanced Manufacturing Facility – Ideal for scalable production with 20–70 ft ceiling heights and dock access
• Urban Logistics Hub – Proximity to major interstates and UPS Worldport enhances last-mile capabilities
• Mixed-Use Redevelopment – Convert historic components into a blend of office, residential, hospitality, or cultural space
• Ceiling Heights: 20’–70’
• Dock Access: 5 dock doors with levelers and seals (9’x10’)
• Zoning: C-3, with Opportunity Zone benefits
• Fire Suppression: Wet-pipe automatic sprinklers
• Cooling & Heating: Two non-operational chillers, cooling tower, and multiple air handler systems
• Structural Integrity: Reinforced concrete slab and steel joist framing
• Parking: Ample space with adjacent surface lots and additional parking on Broadway
