Ideally positioned just west of Pensacola’s central business district and near Bayou Chico—a marine hub with boatyards, 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. The property provides convenient access to downtown amenities and major transportation corridors.
The interior strikes a practical balance between function and comfort. A finished reception and office 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 provides significant value for businesses requiring below-grade access or precision ground-level assembly work.
Recent capital improvements help reduce near-term ownership costs and provide added 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 of which was 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 amps.
