Investment Overview

Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire the property located at 4111 30th Avenue South in Moorhead, Minnesota. The vacant property consists of approximately 15,328 square feet of specialized industrial space and is situated on 4.98 acres of land. The grain elevator facility features licensed steel and hopper bins with a storage capacity of about 363,000 bushels and unlicensed steel and hopper bins capable of storing an estimated 24,548 bushels. Additionally, the property has a clear height of 18’, one dock-high door, three grade-level doors, metal construction, and 11 parking spaces. Located adjacent to Interstate 94, the grain elevator has direct access to a BNSF rail spur that runs along the property line. The subject property is located in the Fargo market containing 20.1 million square feet of industrial space. Logistics space is the largest subtype, making up 78 percent of the inventory, followed by specialized and flex space at 12 percent and 10 percent, respectively. In 2023, the vacancy rate in Fargo bucked the national trend and declined by 180 basis points to 3.3 percent as net absorption topped new supply by about 336,000 square feet. While asking rent growth slowed to 5.4 percent last year, the pace remained ahead of the Consumer Price Index. During the first quarter of 2024, 424,000 square feet of industrial space were under construction (all of which were concentrated in warehouse and logistics properties), representing just 2.1 percent of inventory. Although industrial demand has dampened in Fargo, the reduction in new supply will help keep a lid on vacancy rates for the foreseeable future (CoStar).
