A 19+ acre former industrial site in Bristol, VA. This opportunity is one of kind. Perfect for residential multi-family development. The property can be utilized by a number of different types of development opportunities. These types of developments include: residential, agricultural, theme oriented, as well as entertainment and restaurant venues. At the core of the property is a brick and concrete building with several large wings that have high ceilings and open spans which are important for all types of entertainment venues. The property was formerly a cold and dry storage facility for the food industry, and has substantial access to power, including 3 phase on site. A number of improvements have already been started on the property, one of which includes a separate outbuilding on the property which can serve as a caretaker efficiency apartment and rest rooms for outdoor venues on the property. A truly once in a lifetime opportunity for an entertainment venue of this kind in our area exists on this property. The site is improved with several contiguous historic brick mill buildings comprising of approximately 40,000 square feet of usable space. Originally built by the Columbia Paper Mill in 1900 for the purpose of a pulp and paper mill, the facility was constructed to withstand rigors of a newly industrialized nation. In operation throughout the early 1900’s, the buildings were “state of the art” and constructed in a style typically noted for massive stone-base foundations, upper masonry walls, arched windows and entrances, and large rose windows on all gabled end walls. Soaring spaces were defined by thirty foot high ceilings made of rare southern yellow heart pine resting on walls built with hand thrown brick on top of large hand hewn limestones. The building stands as a monument to a time when things were made to last; when function mattered more than form. And yet, in its strength of construction there is beauty. The red brick, mortar, and timber interiors render the space ideal for the tenants identified by the owner. The renovated building itself will be a great attraction a centerpiece to the whole project. The Owner is retiring and is interested in Selling the entire tract, but may be convinced to partition the property for the right user and purpose. More photos to come!
