1st Floor Ste 101 Industrial 7,800 SF $12.00 USD/SF/YR
This building was originally a Taylor Rental Center which was built in the late 1980s. Taylor sold out to Hertz Rental, and then Hertz changed their name to Herc Rentals, and went from a full-service rental center involving everything from wedding China to chainsaws to strictly equipment. Mostly heavy equipment and logistics equipment. In November 2023, they left the premises to move to a much larger facility. The same month, Southeastern Equipment moved in and set up shop. They spent an inordinate amount of money on fixing it up, cleaning it up, painting and adding new amenities. They signed a five-year starting on November 1, 2023, and vacated the premises for reasons of their own on December 31,2025.

The building is in extremely good condition and it is situated on a long and narrow double tiered lot which measures right at three usable acres, all of which is fenced. It is located off the brand-new Jefferson Road upgrade in South Charleston, which made traffic going from US 119 south to Interstate 64 W. and East at least 15 times better than it has been for the last 50 years. They paved the Kramer Street from the turnoff and made the highway 5-lanes for easy access going south and north on Jefferson Road. The property is located in the town of South Charleston, West Virginia, and because of this incredible new highway that was put in place, access coming and going is extremely good and one could be in all parts of the Kanawha Valley in a matter of minutes. While the actual location is somewhat sequestered below the road, Hertz never complained about it, and what is proof positive is that their business was sustained all those years to where they could go from a 7200 square-foot building to a 50,000 square-foot building on 8 acres. Southeastern Equipment was poised to take over a lot of the business that Hertz might've left, but they changed their business plan midstream and decided that Charleston was not a location for what they wanted to do.

This is an industrial equipment facility with three overhead doors in the front and one on the side. It has fairly high ceilings and the parts department and the new offices along with the counter in front have been tastefully redecorated. There is an 800 sf loft where the manager's office is located. Additionally, there is a 2000 square-foot more or less auxiliary building at the end of the property which both companies used to do slightly off premise work while they were there. This building can be separately rented or included in the mix.

The goal is to get a tenant in this building because except for the last few months, it has been totally occupied since about 1979. The conditions surrounding the building have improved dramatically with the upgrade of Jefferson Road. While it was difficult to get in and out in the past, especially in high traffic times of the day, that situation has been almost totally resolved.

The lease with Southeastern is ongoing despite their removal from the premises.  The owner is highly motivated to get a new tenant in the property.

Description

Located on a street off Jefferson Road, a recently upgraded main artery linking Interstate 64 in South Charleston to Appalachian Corrido G, which is a major highway to the coalfields of southern West Virginia and Kentucky, this industrial property has had continuous occupancy since 1980. Originally, the location for Taylor Rentals, later Hertz Rentals, and then later Herc Rentals, since November 2023, it has been under lease to Southeastern Equipment who recently elected to pull out of West Virginia leaving the building vacant and ready for the next occupant. The structure measures 60' x 120' and contain 7200 ft.² on the first floor plus a 600 ft.² second floor mezzanine. Additionally, there is a 2000 square-foot out building at the end of the property which was used by all of the recent tenants as a maintenance facility. The entire area is fenced and Southeastern spent an enormous amount of money fixing the building up to their specifications before they elected  to leave. It is in very good condition. The owner is capable of building additional square footage should the tenant require it.

The location is slightly offbeat, but it did not cause Hertz and Herc any difficulty, as they moved to St. Albans into a 50,000 square-foot building on 8 acres. They had built their business up in fine fashion over their tenancy in this building.

Toital square footage in the building and the annex is 10,800.
