Empire Auto & Service
9260 / 9290 W Florissant Ave, St. Louis, MO
Empire Auto & Service presents a rare opportunity to acquire an automotive service property with strong owner-user, investment, and lease-up potential. Located at 9260 and 9290 W Florissant Ave in St. Louis, Missouri, the offering consists of two automotive/commercial buildings totaling approximately 17,430 square feet across two parcels totaling approximately 2.17 acres.
The site benefits from excellent frontage, access, and visibility along W Florissant Ave, with traffic counts of approximately 17,000 vehicles per day. The property is well-positioned for an automotive operator, truck service company, fleet maintenance user, investor, or buyer seeking a commercial property with existing automotive infrastructure already in place.
Property Overview
The building at 9260 W Florissant Ave is approximately 6,630 square feet and is currently used as an auto mechanic/service shop. This building includes approximately six overhead/service doors, providing strong functionality for vehicle repair, service, tire work, and related automotive operations.
The building at 9290 W Florissant Ave is approximately 10,800 square feet and includes approximately four larger commercial/truck service doors, making it suitable for truck repair, larger vehicle service, fleet operations, storage, or additional commercial use.
Combined, the property offers approximately 10 total overhead/service doors, strong yard/parking capacity, and a flexible layout for multiple automotive or commercial uses.
Business and Occupancy
The current owner operates the automotive service business from the property, does not pay himself rent, and intends to sell the property and business without remaining as a tenant after closing.
The owner-operated business currently generates average income of approximately $102,000, based on information provided by the owner. This creates a potential opportunity for a buyer to acquire the real estate, equipment, and existing business infrastructure, subject to final terms and due diligence.
In addition, a portion of the property is occupied by a tenant who has reportedly completed approximately $30,000 in tenant improvements and is expected to remain on a month-to-month lease. This provides flexibility for a purchaser who may wish to keep the tenant in place, renegotiate lease terms, expand into the space in the future, or lease additional space at market rent.
Equipment Included
A major benefit of this offering is that the owner is willing to include existing automotive equipment in the sale, subject to final inventory verification.
Equipment may include:
• Approximately six vehicle lifts
• Screw compressor
• Additional compressors
• Tools
• Other shop equipment and automotive-related items
This creates a strong turnkey opportunity for an owner-user or automotive operator seeking a facility with existing infrastructure already in place.
Investment and Lease-Up Potential
All projected rents, income assumptions, net operating income, and valuation figures should be understood as projections based on estimated market rent and future leasing assumptions, not historical rent currently being paid by the owner’s business.
Because the owner does not currently pay rent to himself and does not intend to remain after closing, the projected NOI is intended to show what the property could potentially produce if leased to a new operator, occupied by the buyer, or leased at market rates.
