A rare opportunity to lease one of Hilo's most recognizable industrial landmarks. Originally built to serve Big Island sugar plantations — fabricating, repairing, and retailing hardware, equipment, and iron merchandise — this historic Ironworks warehouse offers a character-rich, highly functional space in an unbeatable location.

Positioned at the gateway to downtown Hilo with direct frontage on the Wailoa River, the property enjoys outstanding visibility from the high-traffic Hilo Bayfront corridor (Kamehameha Avenue / Highway 19), one of the busiest thoroughfares on the island. It is the only fee simple industrial complex in this scenic bayfront area, bordering the only navigable river in the area where canoes, marine craft, and boats moor and launch. LoopNetLoopNet
Recently improved (2025): new roof, plus full interior metal treatment and fresh paint throughout — move-in ready with the deferred maintenance already handled.
The open floor plan features soaring high ceilings, heavy-duty plantation-era structural steel, and original overhead cranes (currently non-operational) that showcase the building's industrial heritage and add unmistakable character. Ample on-site parking. The space can potentially be demised into smaller units to suit your needs — bring us your requirements.
Flexible MCX (Industrial-Commercial Mixed) zoning supports a wide range of uses: warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, marine-related operations, contractor yards, showroom/retail, brewery/food production, fitness, creative studios, event space, office, and more (subject to County approval).
Minutes from Hilo Harbor, Hilo International Airport, downtown Hilo, and Wailoa River State Park.
