Marcus & Millichap, in conjunction with RI Marketplace, is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a vacant, free-standing retail building with an adjacent car wash located at 3955 Ashley Phosphate Road in North Charleston, South Carolina 29418 (the “Property”). Previously occupied by Zips Car Wash, the Property is being offered significantly below replacement cost, presenting an attractive acquisition opportunity for owner-users and investors seeking a well-located commercial asset with meaningful value-add potential. FIRST BID MEETS RESERVE!
Originally constructed in 2007, the Property consists of a one-story, free-standing building totaling ±5,039 square feet, featuring a retail/service space with an attached automatic car wash. The site also includes six (6) covered open-ended car wash bays and an ice vending machine, providing additional operational flexibility. Situated on a ±1.498-acre parcel (±65,234 SF), the Property offers strong functionality with 32 surface parking spaces and convenient access via two points of ingress and egress along Ashley Phosphate Road and Hanniford Drive. Zoned “I” Industrial by Dorchester County, the site allows for a variety of commercial uses, providing long-term flexibility for repositioning or re-tenanting. This former Zips Car Wash represents a compelling opportunity to capitalize on the strong fundamentals of the North Charleston market and provides the potential for substantial value creation through adaptive re-use or lease-up at market rates, making it an attractive investment for both users and investors focused on growth and adaptability.
North Charleston has experienced significant population and economic growth in recent years and has emerged as one of the Charleston region’s primary commercial and employment centers. The Property is strategically positioned along Ashley Phosphate Road, one of North Charleston’s primary commercial corridors with nearly 36,000 vehicles per day (VPD) passing the site, and offers convenient access to Interstate 26, which carries more than 165,000 VPD and provides direct connectivity throughout the Charleston metropolitan area.
