679 Linwood Ave 5,845 SF 100% Leased Retail Building Whitinsville, MA 01588 $1,664,880 CAD ($284.84 CAD/SF)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Prime 1-Acre Commercial Site | Former Car Wash | Two Distinct Value Paths: Reactivation or Redevelopment
679 Linwood Avenue in Whitinsville (Northbridge), MA presents a rare dual-path opportunity on 0.99± acres in the flexible B-2 Business zoning district. The property includes two 1970 buildings totaling 5,845± SF, historically operated as the Depot Car Wash, and is positioned for (1) reactivation as a car wash or (2) ground-up commercial redevelopment.
PATHWAY 1 — REACTIVATION AS A CAR WASH
For operators, investors, or express-wash groups, the existing infrastructure offers a compelling restart opportunity. The site includes:
1 tunnel bay + 4 self-service bays
Office area, mechanical rooms, and wash equipment layout
Pole-mounted lighting, and freestanding signage
A new glass overhead door on site (conveys)
2022 plumbing repairs and previous functional testing
Existing special permit use profile for automotive services (car wash allowed by Special Permit under B-2)
With capital improvements, modernization, and rebranding, the asset can support a stabilized express or hybrid wash operation. Regional car wash comps (5–6k SF, 1-acre pads) indicate strong value support for reactivated sites.
PATHWAY 2 — COMMERCIAL REDEVELOPMENT
The 1-acre B-2 pad offers significant redevelopment potential for retail, service, medical, QSR, office, or mixed commercial uses.
By-Right Uses Include:
Retail stores, restaurants, offices
Professional/personal services
Municipal, public, and nonprofit uses
Special Permit Uses Include:
Automotive uses (car wash, repair, garages)
Drive-thru facilities
Hotels/motels
Mixed-use commercial
Large-scale development projects

U-Haul est une société américaine de location de camions de déménagement, de remorques et de libre-entreposage basée à Phoenix, en Arizona, qui est en activité depuis 1945. La société a été fondée par Leonard Shoen et Anna Mary Carty Shoen à Ridgefield, dans l'État de Washington, qui l'ont créée dans le garage appartenant à la famille de sa femme et l'a agrandie en franchisant des stations-service. En plus de la location de camions de déménagement et de remorques et des unités de libre-entreposage, de nombreux centres et concessionnaires U-Haul offrent également des boîtes de déménagement, des accessoires d'emballage, du remplissage de GPL (propane), l'installation d'attelage et de câblage de remorque, la location de conteneurs d'entreposage et d'autres services.
