Gadsden Industrial for Lease - Etowah County
408,000 SF Industrial Facility on 17 Acres
Strategic Automotive Corridor Location – Gadsden, Alabama
Some industrial facilities simply operate.
Others anchor generations of manufacturing.
For over 40 years, this 408,000 SF facility served as a long-term operational base for Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company — a powerful testament to its structural integrity, logistical efficiency, and geographic resilience. Industrial enterprises of that scale do not remain in one location for four decades without sustained operational advantages.
Asset Overview
408,000 SF under roof
Situated on approximately 17 acres
Significant excess land ratio relative to building footprint
Expansion potential (subject to municipal approval)
In today’s constrained industrial land market, the property’s land-to-building ratio offers rare scalability without relocation risk.
Strategic Automotive Corridor Positioning
Located within Alabama’s expanding automotive manufacturing corridor, the property benefits from proximity to major OEM assembly operations and a deep regional supplier ecosystem.
The Southeast continues to attract global automotive investment due to infrastructure access, regulatory stability, and workforce flexibility.
This corridor is not speculative — it is structurally embedded.
Ideal Operational Alignment
The facility is particularly well-suited for:
• Regional tire distribution and logistics
• Automotive glass warehousing and redistribution
• Chassis and underbody component supply
• EV platform parts storage and staging
• Light industrial assembly lines
• AI-integrated warehouse systems
• Robotics-enabled loading & automation
Tire, glass, and chassis components are not cyclical luxury items — they are structural necessities across all vehicle platforms, reinforcing long-term supply chain stability.
Labor & Operating Environment
Alabama’s established right-to-work structure and manufacturing-trained labor pool provide operational flexibility while maintaining compliance within established legal frameworks. The region has consistently attracted industrial operators seeking long-term cost predictability and workforce continuity.
Future-Forward Industrial Platform
The building’s clear-span configuration and power capacity allow integration of:
• AI warehouse management systems
• Robotics-driven palletization
• Automated cross-docking
• Smart logistics monitoring
This is not merely legacy infrastructure — it is automation-ready industrial real estate.
Ownership Objectives
Ownership is open to:
Long-term full-building lease (5–10+ years preferred)
Structured investment discussions
Sale with lease in place (if applicable)
Return metrics and rental assumptions remain aligned with prior offering structure.
This is more than warehouse space.
It is a scalable, historically proven industrial platform positioned for the next generation of automotive and logistics evolution.
Serious inquiries invited.

1031 Exchange Capital Consideration
For investors currently navigating a 1031 exchange timeline, asset selection often becomes by identification windows and limited availability of large-format industrial product.
This offering may serve as a strategic consolidation vehicle — allowing transition from multiple smaller holdings into a single scaled industrial platform with:
• Immediate income continuity
• Acquisition below verified replacement cost
• Long-term industrial relevance
• Flexible financing structures
In replacement-driven markets, securing scale, yield, and capital protection within one asset class remains increasingly uncommon.
Exchange-driven inquiries welcome.

Strategic Platform for Industrial Owner-Users
Beyond investment considerations, the property may serve as a long-term operational platform for industrial manufacturers, automotive suppliers, or logistics operators seeking a Southeast base of scale.
With 408,000 SF under one roof and 17 acres providing expansion optionality, the facility offers infrastructure capable of supporting tire distribution, automotive glass warehousing, chassis component staging, or integrated assembly operations.
Located in Gadsden, within the established automotive manufacturing corridor between Georgia and Tennessee, the site provides regional access to OEM production networks and Southeast consumer markets.
The building’s historical utilization by Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company for more than four decades demonstrates structural viability for high-volume industrial operations.
For enterprises evaluating consolidation, U.S. production expansion, or long-term logistics anchoring, the asset represents a scalable platform rather than speculative industrial space.
Confidential discussions with qualified owner-users are welcome.
