A rare opportunity awaits to acquire a large, flexible-use building in an ideal location.

Located on 3 acres at 27106 Independence Ave., near the Tea interchange for Interstate 29, this 51,000-square-foot building was constructed in 1999 and expanded in 2003 and 2015.

“It’s in excellent condition throughout,” said Kirby Proehl of Harr & Lemme Commercial Real Estate, who has the building co-listed with Paul Gourley.

“This space currently combines showroom, warehouse and high-quality office space but easily can accommodate a wide range of uses.”

Currently the home of Thornton Flooring, the building is well insulated, has high-efficiency lighting and highly visible signage.

“There’s essentially no deferred maintenance here. All the warehouse space is clean, well lit and extremely functional,” Proehl said.

“It’s structured with a conference room, break room, reception area, cubicle spaces and will-call areas, plus you’ll enjoy nearly 300 feet of frontage along County Highway 106, right in the heart of south Sioux Falls metro-area growth.”

Ample hard-surface parking on the west side of the building easily accommodates staff and customers. Included in the purchase is a 4,800-square-foot cold storage auxiliary all-steel building to the south, manufactured by Cuckler.

Additionally, the 3-acre parcel has potential extra land available for purchase.

Thornton will occupy the building until its new 109,000-square-foot headquarters is completed, which is estimated in the spring of 2024.

“When we built it in 1999, it was one of the largest retail flooring stores in the Midwest – and we felt it was way bigger than we would ever need,” owner Matt Thornton said.

“At that time, my dad used the ‘Field of Dreams’ line: ‘If you build it, they will come,’ and he was definitely correct. It is hard to believe what began as my parents selling flooring out of the garage at our home in 1979 has become this.”

 This property is listed for $5.5 million; the seller also would consider a short-term lease-back. For information on this listing, click here, or contact Kirby Proehl at 605-366-8030 or Paul Gourley at 605-359-1968.
