Currently operating as an automotive garage and NC inspection station, this substantial CECO metal building combines extensive shop capacity, infrastructure and highway accessibility in a configuration well suited for continued automotive use or a variety of other potential commercial applications. The approximately 80' x 150' building provides 12,000 square feet of space, including approximately 216 square feet of main-level office space and an additional approximately 216-square-foot upper-level observation/office/meeting area overlooking the shop. The expansive garage features approximately 16'–19' ceiling heights, 12 roll-up doors, skylight, LED lighting, two large ceiling fans, insulated roof and natural gas heat. Designed for substantial commercial use, the building is situated on a 6-inch concrete pad and is equipped with three 200-amp electrical service panels. A dedicated air-compressor room with vented exterior door adds functionality to the shop layout, while exterior security lighting surrounds the building. The property is served by cnfirm intended use and any applicable requirements with Stanly County Planning & Zoning.
