1245 State Ave

Strategically positioned on State Avenue — Kansas City, KS's primary commercial corridor — 1245 State Ave sits at the signalized intersection of State Ave and N 13th St in the heart of the Central KC KS/Fairfax Submarket, one of the metro's most active and supply-constrained industrial markets. With roughly 8,500 vehicles passing daily and direct frontage on one of KCK's highest-visibility arterials, this location delivers the kind of built-in exposure that owner-users can monetize from day one. The Fairfax Submarket commands sub-3% vacancy across industrial product — meaning comparable alternatives are scarce and demand continues to outpace supply. The surrounding area is a dense ecosystem of automotive, fleet, trades, and service businesses, creating a natural customer base for service-oriented owner-users and a proven demand environment for investors. Kansas City International Airport is approximately 26 minutes away, and the property's Walk Score of 77 (Very Walkable) reflects exceptional urban accessibility for employees, vendors, and customers alike.A rare chance to own or occupy a fully operational industrial service building on one of Kansas City, KS's most trafficked commercial corridors — offered for sale and lease. Situated on 0.56 acres along State Ave with direct frontage and prominent signage visibility, 1245 State Ave delivers the functional infrastructure that service-oriented businesses spend years building: 4 drive-in doors, 15' clear height, a versatile two-level layout combining office/reception on the main floor with expansive open service bay areas below, dedicated surface parking, and masonry construction built to last. The property is currently 100% occupied, demonstrating the location's proven ability to support a thriving service business — and providing the investor with immediate income from an asset in a submarket where available inventory is critically tight. For the owner-user, this is an opportunity to stop paying someone else's mortgage and start building equity in a business-ready facility. The favorable tax basis, combined with below-market assessed value and low carrying costs, makes ownership more attainable than comparable lease options — while positioning the buyer to capture meaningful appreciation as the Fairfax Submarket continues its upward trajectory. Zoned MP-2 (Manufacturing/Processing), the property accommodates a wide range of industrial and service uses. With sub-3% submarket vacancy, assets like this rarely come to market — and when they do, they move quickly.Premium industrial service space available for lease in one of Kansas City's most in-demand and supply-constrained submarkets. 1245 State Ave offers 6,770 SF of purpose-built, move-in-ready space along high-visibility State Avenue — the kind of address that drives foot traffic, establishes brand presence, and supports daily business operations from the moment you take the keys. The space features a smart two-level layout: a dedicated office and reception area on the main floor for customer-facing operations, and open service bay areas on the lower level purpose-built for hands-on work. Four drive-in doors and 15' clear height accommodate vehicles, equipment, and oversized inventory with ease. Surface parking, on-site signage, and masonry construction complete the package. This is one of the few remaining opportunities in a submarket that consistently runs below 3% vacancy — where businesses that secure quality industrial space rarely leave it. Ideal for automotive services, fleet operations, mechanical trades, light fabrication, specialty contractors, or any service business that needs functional space in a high-traffic, accessible urban location.
