The Applicant plans on purchasing the subject property and rehabilitating the same in order to lease to a warehousing,manufacturing and/or distribution user. The subject property consists of an approximately 87,360 square foot site with a roughly 52,266 square foot building that has been 100%vacant and unused since July 31,2016. The property is in need of substantial rehabilitation. Therefore,the Applicant plans to invest approximately$400,000 to immediately rehabilitate the subject property. Based on initial inspections these improvements will be to paint the interior warehouse,install energy efficient lighting in the warehouse,demolish and renovate the office, resurface the parking lot,improve the landscaping, improve the fagade with major tuekpointing, paint the exterior(man doors,warehouse doors,awnings and bollards), install new dock seals, install new signage and install a new roof as well as to complete other general maintenance.
