Former Hertz Rental Building 1000 Kramer St 7 200 pi² d'espace disponible • Industriel • South Charleston, WV 25309

This building was originally a Taylor Rental Center which was built in the late 1980s. Taylor sold out to Hertz Rental, and then Hertz changed their name to Herc Rentals, and went from a full-service rental center involving everything from wedding China to chainsaws to strictly equipment. Mostly heavy equipment and logistics equipment. In November 2023, they left the premises to move to a much larger facility. The same month, Southeastern Equipment moved in and set up shop. They spent an inordinate amount of money on fixing it up, cleaning it up, painting and adding new amenities. They signed a five-year starting on November 1, 2023, and vacated the premises for reasons of their own on December 31,2025. The building is in extremely good condition and it is situated on a long and narrow double tiered lot which measures right at three usable acres, all of which is fenced. It is located off the brand-new Jefferson Road upgrade in South Charleston, which made traffic going from US 119 south to Interstate 64 W. and East at least 15 times better than it has been for the last 50 years. They paved the Kramer Street from the turnoff and made the highway 5-lanes for easy access going south and north on Jefferson Road. The property is located in the town of South Charleston, West Virginia, and because of this incredible new highway that was put in place, access coming and going is extremely good and one could be in all parts of the Kanawha Valley in a matter of minutes. While the actual location is somewhat sequestered below the road, Hertz never complained about it, and what is proof positive is that their business was sustained all those years to where they could go from a 7200 square-foot building to a 50,000 square-foot building on 8 acres. Southeastern Equipment was poised to take over a lot of the business that Hertz might've left, but they changed their business plan midstream and decided that Charleston was not a location for what they wanted to do. This is an industrial equipment facility with three overhead doors in the front and one on the side. It has fairly high ceilings and the parts department and the new offices along with the counter in front have been tastefully redecorated. There is an 800 sf loft where the manager's office is located. Additionally, there is a 2000 square-foot more or less auxiliary building at the end of the property which both companies used to do slightly off premise work while they were there. This building can be separately rented or included in the mix. The goal is to get a tenant in this building because except for the last few months, it has been totally occupied since about 1979. The conditions surrounding the building have improved dramatically with the upgrade of Jefferson Road. While it was difficult to get in and out in the past, especially in high traffic times of the day, that situation has been almost totally resolved. The lease with Southeastern is ongoing despite their removal from the premises. The owner is highly motivated to get a new tenant in the property.
