490 South Lane Street, Pensacola, FL 32502

Ideally positioned just west of Pensacola's central business district and located near Bayou Chico — a marine hub with boat yards, marinas, and yacht maintenance facilities — this well-maintained metal commercial building offers 6,000 square feet of versatile space purpose-built for manufacturing, assembly, or light industrial use, with immediate proximity to downtown amenities and major corridors."

The interior strikes a practical balance between function and comfort. A finished reception and off-ice area welcomes clients and staff, supported by two restrooms, while the remainder of the building opens into a largely unobstructed, partially clear-span production floor — ready to accommodate a wide range of operational layouts. Exposed structural steel from two previous expansions speaks to the building's growth history and adaptability.

A standout feature for marine and specialty trades is the existing raised plywood floor system over slab, complete with multiple assembly pits — originally designed for new sail construction and sailboat rigging repair. This infrastructure represents significant value for any business requiring below-grade access or precision ground-level assembly work.

Recent capital improvements reduce near-term ownership costs and add peace of mind. A new roof with vinyl-backed insulation was installed in March 2021, and the building is fully climate-controlled by two heat pumps, the most recent replaced in September 2021. Energy-efficient LED lighting serves the entire facility.

The property sits on a prominent 0.53-acre corner lot with 155 feet of frontage on South L Street and 150 feet along Zaragoza Street — offering excellent visibility, accessibility, and signage potential. Main electrical service is 200-amp.
